Darn you, new fangled technology

[Agent Proto]

I have yet to actually own an iPhone, or tablet of some kind. I'll just stick to my laptop or something with a physical keyboard.

I was against tablets for a long time, but they have their uses. Just don't expect them to replace a computer or you'll be going in with the wrong idea entirely.

There is a vast array of technology that would be "useful" but is simply far out of my price range, so I'll never use it. Like a personal jet, or a self-driving car.

I'll also never pay the increased price for similar performance of a laptop rather than a desktop PC. Yes, obviously mobility is useful in principle, but in practice I simply don't need it, and if I really needed to I could just use a tablet or very cheap notebook to remotely control my desktop.

Sitting at my desk right now all within about 18 inches of each other are my desktop computer, my laptop computer, and my smartphone.

My e-reader is about another 18 inches to my left.

It is glorious.

I want all of the computers and computer-like devices. All of them.

... implanted directly into your brain or vice versa.

This. I know they're working on it, and......shudder......

[Slothy]

On the one hand, I don't trust the average person to drive their car. On the other hand, I don't trust a computer to drive my car and I want to drive. It's a conundrum.

I use to be vehemently against e-readers because "I love how books feel in my hands and I love seeing them on my bookshelf!" I still buy physical books, but only of authors that I actually really enjoy. I'll buy kindle versions of books I'm not sure about or I will illegally download digital copies of books I already own so when I go out on holiday I don't have to carry them all with me. I've had two e-readers: a Sony and the Kindle. I prefer the Kindle because it fits comfortably in my pocket.

I'm waiting on getting a tablet, but only because they're pretty expensive and I have other things that $300 could be doing for me. I don't see them replacing personal computers right now, but in the future who knows? If/When I do get a tablet it won't be the iPad. Yes, I like how slim and tiny they are and they definitely look nice, but I am not willing to shell out $600 for something that looks nice but is not easy to manipulate. I'll probably get a tablet that runs on Android so I can experiment with and enjoy it.

I adamantly refuse to use smart-phones.
This is primarily due to the fact that I know smartphones would dominate my attention and time, and I don't want that kind of a distraction with me at all times.
This may shift in some time though, especially with college starting for me soon.

Down with eReaders! Up with printing presses!

[Slothy]

Screw printing presses. We make copies by hand with quills and ink.

We can be Luddites together! We can burn the heretics! We can question spinning wheels!

[Slothy]

Hey now, spinning wheels are an excellent way to crush/stretch/pull apart witches.
