Living Without Your Hi Tech Gadgets

May 19, 2009 – 5:15 am

Little children often play the ‘what if” game, ‘what if’ there was only one girl left on the planet and you had to marry her in order for civilization to live who would you choose?  Let’s take a look at the gadgets we have and try and play a similar ‘what if’ game.  If you had to choose one gadget or mode of modern technology, which would you choose?  This little exercise (after all we are adults now, so it’s no longer a game) would generate debates from many people each with their own reasoning.

question

I venture that some people might say their HDTV, laptop or cell phone.  The interesting thing about technical gadgets is that functionality and feature rich are things that companies and consumers tend to look for.  HDTV or TVs in general are really one dimensional.  You still need other gadgets to make them reach their full usefulness, such as DVRs, Blu Ray, cable boxes, etc.  As a stand alone product it misses the mark.  Your desktop or laptop computer really adds functionality and features in well, so you can do work, watch TV programs, surf the Internet and many other things.  So in my humble opinion this is the better choice by far of the two.  The third option and in my opinion is a fully functional cell phone.

Cell phones not only allow you to talk, but you can run work applications on them, check email, play games, watch TV, track your position, monitor your children and many, many other things.  But not only is the product feature rich, it’s reliable and small.

So for me, if I was playing the children’s game ‘what if’ I would definitely choose the cell phone.  Somehow it doesn’t seem nearly as difficult to come clean with this as it did for me when I was a kid and had to come clean with the object of my affection.
