We are living in a world where technology is present in virtually every field of activity, regardless of it's nature or its purpose! Technology has evolved to a very advanced state and offers us solutions for everything we can possibly think of, so my question is - how dependent of gadgets are you? Do you read a lot about them and buy the newest things out there or you like living a gadget free life and do things more, let's say old fashioned?
I was reading this article -> Jawbone - 'Up' (monitoring bracelet) and realized it doesn't really help you with anything which other more tech free things won't do. I mean, if you care about how you live, you will sleep, eat and exercise without the aid of a bracelet, if you don't, you'll ignore it anyway even though it buzzes people to make a few steps around their office maybe I'm a bit harsh but who knows? |

I wouldn't say I'm dependent on them, but I certainly like gadgets.
The problem is sometimes we have so many that we might need an extra suitcase for them and their power adaptors when we travel , just carrying a phone, camera, handheld and maybe a netbook or ebook is already too much! -------------------- Guitars:

I like gadgets that can do more than one thing. Purpose built gadgets are not really my thing. My iphone for example is a ipod, cell phone, email client, metronome, backing track creator, software synth, camera, audio recorder, etc. It's a wad of gadgets stuffed in to one little box so its' pretty handy The onboard keybaord is a bit lame so i bought a flp out extension. It makes the phone HUGE but such is life Awesome! Which app do you use for creating backing tracks on it? -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I can't really say I'm addicted to gadgets, because I don't use any. All I use is old Nokia phone that serves only for SMS and phone calls. I got that one for free, and it works no problem, battery lasts for long time which is most important thing.
Other "gadget" that I carry with me all the time is my trusty Acer netbook, which is really an awesome device for work. I have couple of USB flash disks with me too, couple of SD cards, SD card adapter, mobile internet modem USB flash, and that's it. If gadgets makes someone life easier, that can be a good thing, but that didn't work for me. Actually, I did have a cool Nokia phone some time ago, N82 smartphone. The reason this phone was so good that it had proper buttons (was NOT touchscreen, which I don't like because it's too slow), it had great planner/reminder that I used all the time, wireless, great camera and GPS with free maps and guiding system. This was very handy device for lots of different functions. Unfortunately it run Symbian s60 OS, which is outdated today, but it's still a very good (and fast) smartphone. I played some cool games on it as well. Well, it's not like I miss it too much. After a working day at desktop PC, the least I need is to use my smartphone too! -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Here's a good example where gadgets can be useful. We went to Austria and visited Vienna these couple of days, and I had my netbook and a friend had GPS phone with him. GPS helped us in two ways: to calculate how much gas we will spent which was very important, and to see where we are on the highway and how to get to our hostel. Yes, stopping and asking along the way was possible too, but this is easier, and we got there faster. Aaand, my trusty netbook helped me to find out where the parking is, and where music stores and other important sites around the town are.

It seems we are having some differences in opinions here, but I believe things eventually boil down to the same thing, no matter in what form we discuss it Technology is still becoming part of our lives, more and more. Where it will all go, we will find out
