Modernizing your lifestyle

I like devices to be simple, rather than a "jack of all trades but a master of none". My phone makes phone calls and allows for texting. It is virtually bomb-proof, as most digital electronics are, so I don't see the point of upgrading to a video-phone with mobile internet etc etc. I have devices already that can do those things better than any phone, and I don't have to waste time navigating through a huge nested menu system on my phone to access all the features unlike those of today.

I have an MP3 player and the usual things, plus a fairly hefty workstation, but it's a necessary thing for my work to have a powerful system so that's unavoidable. I don't upgrade to be cool or to keep up with the Jones's because that's pointless; why waste money on something you don't even need?

I also refuse to buy into technology "fads" that I know will be superseded in the near future or that are poorly implemented.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
