If you're looking to find your way there and back again, you'll benefit from a GPS satellite navigation system on the dashboard.

Rather than messing about with a paper street directory, GPS navigators include built-in maps for the entire country, making it easy to see where you are and where you're going. If you punch in a street address they'll quickly calculate the fastest route from your current location and then talk you through the journey.

Today's mobile phones do far more than just make calls - they're portable entertainment centres.

Mobile phones are gradually assimilating all the other devices in our pockets - such as MP3 players, photo viewers, video cameras, PDAs and GPS navigators. The result is a jack-of-all-trades entertainment device, tucked away in your pocket for whenever you need it.

Blu-ray is a new high definition video disc format. Blu-ray video's are much higher quality than the traditional DVD's you can buy or rent at your local video shop.

Videos recorded onto a Blu-ray disc will not play in your existing DVD player. To play them you will need a Blu-ray player.

Blu-ray players look very similar to regular DVD players. They have a tray in which the blu-ray disc sits when being played and all have a remote control.

If you don't want to be chained to your desk, a laptop gives you the freedom to get out and about.
