Gadgets
I’m not really what you would call a “techie”, because more often than not I don’t really know how or what makes many devices work, but reports of recent strides in technology and notices on the latest gadget to hit the market fascinate me. I eagerly peruse publications, search for consumer reviews and then cram these pages into an already overstuffed drawer that could be a Pandora’s Box of unfulfilled dreams.
So what am I salivating for now? Well, for a year I’ve been dreaming about the “Kindle” a book reader (is that what it’s called?) that stores books and publications. However there is a drawback, it downloads these using a carrier, which unfortunately is inaccessible in my part of the world. Then there is the handheld game player. Despite the possibility that it leads one to become antisocial, the thought of no cables or wires, of being able to whip it out and play Snood or Mystery Case Files while stuck in traffic or some tedious situation tempts me to consider using my soon to be overdrawn credit card. Now that’s the real Pandora ’s Box, and “therein lies the rub” as Shakespeare so wisely penned! –>
