Thing.

Usually. Would be a very unusual one that would be bigger.

Used is possibly not the right term (hint)

Can be done ANYWHERE more or less.

"used" would be an unusual word for what you do with this thing. Don't want to give it away to early. It can be used more or less anywhere, but it is more likely to be said to be "done". It is tangibly done.

4. No.

This thing can be "done" anywhere, more or less.

Not put on the body

Not a gadget
