Like most people my age, I have a severe dependency on technical gadgets. Here are the things I use:
First up is my laptop, which Rachaely named Pierre, because up until a few days ago it was just called Owner, and apparently that was unacceptable! It is an Acer Aspire 5580-6974, and although I only got it in August of last year, it is completely worn down, a sign that I should probably get a life. The “A” key is almost completely swiped, since I have to touch it every time I write my name, email address, URL and… well, the plethora of a’s that appear in the English language. I can’t say it wasn’t a good investment. I use it for blogging, chatting with my friends whom are all scattered around the country, organizing photos, reading news, editing videos, recording vocals and instruments and mixing, and so much more. And it still runs very smoothly! I also have a nifty external hard drive and tablet that can probably be shoved in this same computer-centric category!
I am absolutely inseparable from my iPod. It’s a black 80GB Classic. It doesn’t carry even 1/3rd of my music collection as of yet, because I seem to be lazy on the uploading front, but it still has a good 1100 songs to provide me with entertainment while I’m on the bus, on breaks at work, doing dishes and other chores, and while I’m lying in bed thinking big thoughts before sleeping. I’m even listening to it right now! The song is “Mexico,” by Kain. It’s a Quebecois (French) song, that reminds me of someone special. <345
My cell phone ranks slightly lower than my other tech gadgets, mainly because I dislike speaking on the phone! But, I do enjoy texting, and updating Twitter from wherever I am! It is a LG Chocolate 8500 phone and it gets the job done.
Finally, my camera, which is a Nikon Coolpix S550. It’s 10 Megapixels and absolutely fantastic. It takes great photos, it’s little, it’s cute, and with its black colour it matches the majority of my other gadgets! Also, Ashton Kutcher does commercials for it, and I love him.
What are your favourite/ prized gadgets? What’s on your wishlist?
Next paycheque I’m getting a Zune. Mostly because I have a deep hate for ipods, but until Zune, I hadn’t been able to find anything worth buying.
If I was going to list all the things that I wanted, it would probably take half a page. What can I say? I want everything! I wish for…
a larger iPod, since my 4GB Nano just doesn’t cut it anymore.
a new camera… I’m using one from 2002 which only has 4 MP.
an LG Voyager (I don’t want to wait)
My most prized gadget would be my MacBook Winston (my friend named it for me after the main character in 1984). Next would be my iPod, which I carry with me everywhere. I suppose I prize my nice Phillips headphones with a noise-cancellation feature. Yeah… I can’t even hear my mom yelling for me to come down to dinner anymore! It’s amazing.
Woah you have a lot of stuff!
Right now I want a better computer, a tablet, a Nikon D40, and iPhone, and an iPod.
woohoo iPod classic~
but they’re slow at times -_-”
I have lots of pretty gadgets! I’m gadget mad. I have three laptops (one tablet, one ultra-mobile and a desktop replacement) a Sony Ericsson music player phone, a 42″ tv, a 22″ computer with Vista I share with Mike, a 17″ computer with XP, an A5 Wacom tablet, a Wii and a 12MP Nikon I share with Mike
On my wishlist is a large tablet or alternatively a better tablet PC, a Mac, IPhone or Viewty, PS3 and maybe an XBOX 360. Not too fussed about having an IPod funnily enough, unless it’s a touch one :P
I like the name Pierre, it sounds very nice.
I don’t have many gadgets, but my PC computer (its name is Josefina) is probably the most important of them all. I couldn’t imagine life without my small digital camera (its name is Ophelia) or my Playstation (which is called Tilly) either.
I hope for a laptop, an iPod, and a video camera this year. I think I might get a laptop for my birthday in August though, so I’ve been trying to think of good names for it.
That ‘A’ key takes sure takes a beating! And my favorite gadget would probably be my laptop or iPod.
