Thanksgiving may be a holiday based on tradition, but it’s time to embrace the 21st century with a bit of technology. From meal making to entertaining, technology is here to help create your ultimateThanksgiving. There is no shortage of useful gadgets and apps, so here’s a list of our top picks: CHOW Thanksgiving Cooking Coach Cooking your Thanksgiving meal can get a little stressful. CHOW gives you recipes for some of the most popular Thanksgiving dishes and includes a step-by-step timeline to guide you through the entire meal making process. It's available for iPhone in the Appstore and free to download. The Electric Carving Knife While not necessarily the most high-tech item on the list, the electric carving knife is awesome. After preparing a meal for the entire family, the last thing you need is to struggle while carving the turkey. Why don't you give your arms a little break and set your mind at ease. Skype With the economy still recovering, we can't all be together for the holidays, but chances are you or somebody near you owns a computer or a smartphone. With Skype, you can video chat people all over the world on any device that has access to the Internet. It's easy to download and completely free. Digital Picture Frames This is a great way to show your dinner guests what you have been up to all year without holding them hostage for a two-hour photo presentation. Upload your favorite photos from the kids' soccer games or the family vacation and display them for people to see at their leisure. A Little Something for the Kids Let's face it, as much as you would love for the kids to embrace family togetherness, they may be bored after 15 minutes of grandma’s anecdotes about the good ol’ days. Excite them with a gaming console, like the Xbox Kinect or Wii U, that’ll keep them actively entertained. Holiday Shopping Deal Finders Last but not least, we know Black Friday is a big part of the Thanksgiving weekend tradition and shoppers are starting earlier than ever this year. Save yourself a little time and effort by downloading a deal finding app like TheFind. The app allows you to scan items in stores, price match and compare, as well as save items you may want to buy later. For preplanning, you may also use TheFind.com to shop all stores across the web before you hit the mall.
