I don’t know about you, but my biggest problem with technology is gravity. Dropped laptops, external hard drives, and smart phones have all been a part of my life at one point or another. As we increasingly take our “desktop” lives on the go, finding technology that can go the distance with us is crucial. This is especially true for real estate agents!
Whether you’re a garden variety klutz or you live in harsh conditions (severe weather comes to mind!), you’ll want to check out these “Rugged Gadgets” recently put to the test by the tech gurus over at Engadget magazine. Ask yourself: Would anything you own survive a sledgehammer? How about a lightning strike? What about complete submersion in water?
Be sure to check out the videos to take in all the mayhem:

While some of these devices may be far beyond your needs, you might want to consider the ioSafe Rugged Portable Hard Drives. Data backup is no joke, and having a hard drive you could back over with your car might just come in handy.
