Re: the attachment and not being able to live without...i WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with that. I've been cellphone less for the last 3 days and it's been a wreck. I was so attached to my blackberry it isn't even funny, and i did not realize how attached i was until i lost it:( oh well I would be lying if i said i didn't agree with you Graham, but with technologies like these it's expected that it will be tempting and useful and just like everything else in this world it has it's pro's and cons.

What happens when we get one of these gadgets and that lose it once we've become overly reliant on it? We will go psycho! The more consumerism there is the more we take things for granted and that is undeniable.<br><br>I'll admit it it would be very handy but we would be trusting something that has advertisers once again will invest a lot of money in and make the world worse than it already is... It's just like how we take the new "smart phones" for granted. They have everything on them, and once again most of the features are built in usually primarily for commercial purposes such as advertising and using the actual phone as a vehicle to sell other products. Its amazing how far we've come from copper pots and stone buildings but enough is enough we've already past the need for survival. No one man in a western society could starve to death when you think about it right?
