Techno World

I have an interesting relationship with technology. Mostly, I just want to use the devices I like and am used to - notebooks, mobiles, PDAs - this applies to hardware really. I don't really go for new stuff that often, for example, I had my last pc for about 5 years, until I decided to build myself a new one. However, once I've decided to try something new and got used to it, then I wonder how I managed without it.

This Christmas I got a new mobile phone. I've been thinking about getting one for months and finally decided on the one I want. It took me a good while to decide on the Sony Ericsson W595, but now I have it, I love it. Can't get enough of using it. I've been texting people left, right and centre (it's got pretty decent predictive texting for a mobile, though I know most people hate it), I've bluetoothed with all my friends already to share photos, I've set up bluetooth with my notebook, so I can put my Amazon mp3 files on it, I've bought a speaker and new headphones to go with it and I'm currently looking at using Facebook on it. I've set up new shortcut keys, customised my profile, ringtones and screensaver and have already had to put more credit on it. And I've only had it 3 days! I never did any of this sort of stuff with my old phone; it was really just a phone.

I guess there's really a lesson to learn in this. As long as you do your research well, there's no reason not to try new technology, instead of just using the same old kit you're used to. Technology moves on all the time, I'm going to move with it!
