I never was much of a gadget person and I never will be.
The only time I take the cell with me is when I'm traveling to the States or any long road trip. I don't feel the need to be connected when I'm out running errands or shopping. If I'm not home, I'm not home. Leave a message. That is what voicemail is for.
I can't have an XBox or a Wii or anything similar. I'm a major game addict and if I bought the consoles, I would not see the outside world for weeks. Definitely not a good idea for me.
The only time the laptop is really used is if my computer is going through an exorcism, scheduled maintenance, or if I'm away from home for more than a day and need to connect.
I'm personally not interested in the iPods. They are cool, but I have no use for them. If I'm on a plane or train, I prefer to read. For road trips in a car, there is always my CDs, custom CDs, or the radio. I never wear headphones or ear buds when I'm out bike riding or going for a walk.
When I unplug from the computer for the day, I completely unplug. I don't feel the need to be connected to the online world 24/7.
