Gadget girl?

Even though my 'career' was technically in the gadget type sector (accounting and system administration) and I know my away around computer hardware and software to a certain degree, I really am not a gadget girl. Especially in the last year or two. The stuff that's come out is astounding. We've gone from laptop computers and cell phones to Ipad, Ereaders, Ipods and Iphones. Have I missed anything? I have to hand it to Apple, though, they went from nearly history to a bigtime frontrunner in the gadget game. However, I resisted and resisted and just last week I went out and bought an Ipod touch. We did already have a regular old Ipod for listening to music, but I couldn't resist a sale - and they were having one on the Touches. You know what? I love it! Now I see the draw to that darn Iphone. Everything on one little phone. That's what I like! No longer do I need to take my camera, my laptop and my MP3 player with me - it's all in one place. I can see it being addictive as well, and I'm trying to steer clear of that. Problem is, my kids love it too - especially my 9 1/2 month old! What is astonishing is that when they're older - say in their teens, they will have experienced things that were never ever even a thought in my mind when I was their age. Already my son knows that you can take your phone everywhere with you. We didn't even have cordless phones when I was his age!! Not to mention computers. We had good ol' typewriters. He won't even know what that is. Yes, it's amazing and just a little bit scary. The scary part is that it's advancing so quickly. What will they think of next? Well it won't be long before they will think of something bigger, smaller, better, faster. Should I keep up, or should I stay out of the game and be my old 'green girl' self? Maybe I'll go the middle road - there's no way I'm going to give up my new Ipod touch ;) Who knows, in a year, MAYBE I'll upgrade to an iphone, or whatever new gadget they have. I even toyed with the idea of getting an ereader. Imagine that - no more real books. Funny thing is, someone said that when they were reading their book, they 'turned' to the last page having no idea that they were at the end of the book. Ereaders don't have 'thicknesses' - they do have page ## of ##, but she wasn't paying attention and the ending caught her by surprise. Never would have happened with a real book. I'll stick with the real books for now. Also, how long till my three weeks are up and I've created a habit?? I'm aching to get to my next one!!
