I'd have to say maybe 50/50 for me.
I'm an audio engineer and the amount of audio equipment I have is scary, I have more guitars and amps and recording do hickys that if i used one every day I wouldnt have to use the same one twice in about 6 months lol. This astro affliction that I have at the moment is becoming the same.
I have a ridiculous love of gadgetry, and if you can combine it with another passion like music or astronomy, I'm in.
Gadgets+awe and wonder= love
Bring on the robogirls
