i feel that we are already overwhelmed with new gadgets lately. from cellphones, to psp, to tablets, a decade ago this is not available to us. but lately we often see new gadgets from time to time. i don't know if this bombardment of new technologies would indeed make our lives better. sometimes i feel it is making our lives more complicated as we don't enjoy any more what we have already and always tempted to buy the latest one.
When you buy a new gadget after a few months it is already outdated and new model with better features on the same price is available. but i got tired already in looking for new cellphone. i am contented with my phone. i am not planning to upgrade my phone even though it does not have a wifi which i look for in a phone. i am just contented with the 3g feature and other features it has. but for now, i am just waiting for some of the latest gadgets to be outdated and would be more affordable in the coming months before i plan to buy them.

I am not a techno person. I don't love gadgets that much. For me, as long as I have my cellphone that I can use for messaging and calling that would be fine with me. Because of the too many gadgets , some students can't really concentrate on their work now and it's hard for them to focus more.

I never update myself of any latest models in the market. I am contented with what I have as it took me a while getting used to all the functions in my present handphone. Buying a new one will only confuse my already confused mind when it comes to new technologies. I am a slow learner and for that reason new gadgets don't appeal much to me.

yes i think these new technologies are meant for kids or young people who have the patience to learn how to use them but for us who are not any more on their teens better save money to more important things.

Omg, yes I most certainly DO! Why? Because it takes a while for me to learn something or how to work something and then the next thing I know, a new 'thing' has come out and I have to learn it too. UGH!! I'm not a fast learner and it's so frustrating to me to have to continue to learn something new when I have one already that works just fine but won't work with the new computer. *sigh

but sometimes I do wish that I have lots of money so that I would be able to try them out and I would like to know what it feels like to browse the net using tablet.if I didn't like the experience of using that I would just give it away to other people . But I'm not able to afford to do that.

I get sick of them upgrading them yes so that your model isnt the best one anymore... sometimes it feels like they do it too quickly. But i love to stay up to date with current technology and i love to own then new apple, nintendo and playstation products. There are many more smaller named companies that offer great products at better prices.

Invention of gadgets is always exciting to me, I like when new gadgets are seen in the market. When i purchased my new phone xepria X8 i was very happy with the latest features but no sooner than i realized that a higher processor device with strong memory and good features came into market i was like if i waited for a few months i could have got the best mobile. But we all have to accept this, we live in a technology world and technology keeps on changing over a period of time, The invention of 1970's computer and the present Computer there is lot of difference between them, Also with the invention of tablets and portable game consoles there is huge fall of prices in home PC's and game consoles so somewhere we are been benefited with all this, thus concluding i am always excited about the upcoming gadgets in markets and love to play around with it.

indeed the computers now are way much better than the computers made last year and much much better those made a decade ago. And even cell phones after a few months they would be a better mobile phone . can you tell me more about your X8. what are the good features of your phone. What is your overall impression of that mobile phone .

No. I enjoy seeing them but it doesn't mean that i will have to buy them. I maximize the usage of my mobile phone. i have low-end phone (Nokia 2330) but i had cool applications in it. Dictionary, Bible NIV, GPS tracking, cool games, and updated browsers and free internet... [LOL] should have not mention that... anyway, i had china made mp5 before and i tweak it changing the firmwares and still enjoy it. The technology today just inspires me, to be more creative and innovative...

I have fully accepted this fact. Almost every month or even just weeks apart, new gadgets are being introduce. Upgrading is done in a way that the latest today may not be the latest tomorrow. Well, you are certainly right, it would be wise to wait for while before buying things in the digital market. It is quite clear that just after a few months of waiting, there is already a big price adjustment. So just hang on for while and don't be tempted right away.

I do agree that new gadgets are coming out very quickly these days that are being outdated just as fast. This has worsen when one of the big companies starts shipping its flagship phones. There is no doubt that the big names are trying very hard to push new products to the market aim to squeeze as much as possible out of people's pocket without actually bringing much real values to it. Most "new" gadgets are sold based on heavy marketing rather than adding new functionality. And yet, people will still buy the new ones just to show-off that they are following the trend closely.

I am amazed at new gadgets and i welcome new technologies. It makes life easier, like having the WIFI phone. You don't have to have a laptop just to be able to surf the internet, but merely look for WIFI zones.
Though, there will always be new innovations on technologies, we don't have to always buy them. We just have to be knowledgeable on how they are operated but not necessarily buy them. Doing so , would drain your pockets or bury you to debts on those credit cards.

The reason why I get tired is simply because I'm tired of dreaming p\of having some for my own. hehe I am working now and sometimes I find it unnecessary to buy this things especially when I have a lot of finances to work on to. So sometimes I'll just watch new editions and new gadgets but having no intention on buying one. Not now I guess. But still when the time comes that I will be secured financially, then I think of buying some for my own.
