TALLAHASSEE, FL -- It's the holiday season and for some, nothing makes for a better gift than technology. Representatives from a Tallahassee Verizon Wireless store stopped by to share some of the hottest tech gadgets this season.

1. Google Assistant and Travel

When traveling during the holidays, we all could use a personal assistant. Google's new Pixel smartphone, complete with Google Assistant, can make holiday travel easier and stress-free for your viewers.

Google Assistant can help with booking travel, providing weather forecasts for more efficient packing, keeping you on time for flights, translating menus in over 100 languages, turning on your lights back home for security, quickly finding photos you took at a specific place or date, and even playing games to keep your family entertained during layovers.

2. Google Home

Google Home is powered by the Google Assistant. Ask it questions. Tell it to do things. It's your own Google, always ready to help.

Google Home plays nice with products and services you already know and love and more new integrations are being added all the time.

3. Google Daydream View

Browse from an ever-growing collection of apps and games in the Daydream app, a home for all of your virtual reality experiences. Simply place your Daydream-ready phone into the headset to get started. The app brings featured content front and center so there's always something new and fresh for you to return to when you put on the headset.
