What technology do you own and what you use it for?

[04Stefan07]

Again another random question :)

I have:
- iPod Touch 4th Gen (music for the car!)
- MacBook Air 11.6" (Used to be for Uni, but now just for photography and astronomy)
- iPhone 4S (obvious lol)
- Nexus 7 (surfing the internet and games)
- Windows 7 Desktop (gaming PC)
- DSLR Canon 350D

Yes I have a lot of tech but all for specific use :)

Ok this will put a tag on me forever, see if you can guess :)

Can Opener - for opening tin cans and feasting on the contents e.g. baked beans, spaghetti etc.

:rofl::rofl:

[grantch]

I assume it is the good ol fashioned manual type, not those hi tech electric ones :)

[04Stefan07]

:lol::lol:

Electricity – pervasive use throughout the house, a real enablement technology!
Water-flushed toilet – I don't know what I'd do without it!

;)

[04Stefan07]

Wow that's a lot of Apple products!

[lacad01]

A solar powered analog wrist watch ;)

[UniPol]

Naturally!

[GeoffW1]

:rofl::rofl::rofl: take it seriously now

[GeoffW1]

:eyepop: well, the same thing, just somewhere else ;)

[UniPol]

Here's another great bit of "Apple" technology. Guaranteed to be user friendly and gets the job done with minimal fuss.

[UniPol]

This is "General Chat", why not have a bit of fun. I wonder what the definition of "Technology" really is ? Probably depends on which decade you grew up in me thinks ?

[grantch]

Maybe we should have worse piece of technology you own... Alarm clock? :)

[MortonH]

No-one's going to admit to owning a Zune, are they???

[leon]

[asimov]

This is true - I don't own a tin opener yet, so I still use a knife..Gets tricky sometimes, let me tell ya..

Uumm, a laptop.
Several nice telescopes.
Nice cameras to plonk in the nice telescopes.
The dearest form of mobile broadband.
On the dearest plan (pay as ya go) for my mobile.

[MortonH]

It was Microsoft's "iPod killer". :doh:

PM your details to me and I will post you a genuine ADF F.R.E.D. It will feel like an upgrade and when you are not using it to open cans you can make like MacGyver and save the World from evil posts. (:wink2: 666 today)

I still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea and use one every day. ;)

Technology... I try to be as non-techno-yuppie as is humanly possible.

I do NOT own a wrist watch. Not for the last 10 years. Not even the hint of a tan line there anymore.

Phones - BEGRUDGINGLY use a Sony Ericsson modern touch screen thing. Until September last year, I still used my Nokia phone - it was nigh on 8 years old. Charge the battery, it will last a week, with use! It now sits in the glovebox of the car as an emergency phone, seeing I KNOW it will work (there was an entire year with it being off once - turned it on, battery still full!!!)

RELUCTANTLY stepped up to a laptop, after running desktop all my life. Don't regret that! Desktop is still here, and I turn it on every week to keep it alive, but ... :) Power bill dropped enormously too with it off!

Several DSLR's, all Canon. Nikon and I don't see eye to lens very well for some reason. Just a preference I guess.

Never found a raging desire for gadgetry and technology. Whatever. WHen I feel I need it, I will buy it. Bought another 2 TB external HD yesterday for example - we also looked at 3D TV's, considered a second, and said no - we don't watch TV AT ALL apart from kid's TV shows for Miss 4, so why worry?

Walked into an Apple shop yesterday. Felt like I was in a Telstra shop... walked out again :)

Vaio lappy - web, email, Backyard EOS, Lightroom, Stellarium, everything else...
Canon 5DmkII - this is used for taking photos of things ;-)
SW ED80 + EQ5 goto - my precious...
Plus the usual stuff for the house: Samsung TV, Blueray player, xbox 360, bluetooth stereo.

.oh and a clutch pencil .... you press the button and lead pokes out. (actually I think its graphite not lead)

[TrevorW]

It's small

It takes a battery

It vibrates or plays music

It can make some people have all the fun

while others get frustrated

you can play with it alone or in a group

it fits nicely in your hand


it comes in many shapes, sizes and colours

girls like them often more than boys
