JJ Clarke, producer, joins Adrian on this week’s episode of The Big Tech Show. 
The Kodak compact digital camera costs €160 from Conn’s Cameras and is for the Gen Z-er in your life. Standalone compact digital cameras are all the rage among teens and early 20-somethings, with their vintage look, anti-AI vibe and one-shot focus. 
For this cohort, Kodak’s Pixpro FZ55 makes a great gift. It’s easy to use, has a 1x to 5x mini-zoom and fits snugly into almost any normal jeans or jacket pocket. 
For the self-loathing phone addict in your life. The Brick costs €60 from getbrick.app.  Brick’s appeal is simple: stop using your phone so much. The way it works is simple. Just touch it off your iPhone or Android phone and it will deny access (or "brick”) a set of pre-chosen (by you) apps. It will also hide any notifications associated with them. 
You can listen to the full episode here on the Irish Independent website or wherever you get your podcasts.
