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

[LewisM]

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

iPad - not sure what it's used for these days, can't pry it from my GF's hands!
Galaxy S3 - phone, web, email, DSLR control, raw photo backup while traveling without lappy.
Galaxy Tab 10.1 - same as phone... minus the phone bit...
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
