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

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

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

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

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 ?

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. ( 666 today)

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