Technology, can't live without it.

Technology is wonderful. One can shop, pay the bills, talk to a friend overseas and even order out, without ever leaving your home. Paper work done with a breeze. Knowledge instantly available with the click of a mouse. Food done in seconds. Coffee brewed with a push of a button. Isn't it scary to think that someday these might go. Here in the Philippines, there's still a lot of homes who don't depend on technology for a lot of tasks. I don't have a computer at home, but we do have a computer rental business. No microwave, no fax machine. Not because we can't afford it, we just don't need it. If the electricity goes out, which usually does. We still can survive. We have alcohol lamps or candles for light, fans made from palm leaves, firewood for the stove, and the typewriter for paper works. We also have waterpumps that work manually. If there was one modern device that you can own and never leave without, what would it be? I think I won't be able to live without the TV. Mainly because my kids would drive me crazy for entertainment.=) We experienced a blackout last year for 2 weeks, and I think I've sang BINGO far too many times to get my kids entertained. So the TV must never go. How about you? What device would you choose to stay, the tv, computer(with internet), cellphones, palm pilots...
