How many and what pieces of electronics or technology do you carry around on a daily basis?

personally i never leave home without my palm, my cell phone, and my digital watch. If i'm heading to school i also take my firewire hard drive.

Note: flashlights and other simple electric devices don't count

The most I ever have is my cell phone and the remote key thing that locks/unlocks my car...

I'm a technological retard. I don't carry anything electrical. I have a three-year-old mobile phone that I rarely remember to carry around, I don't have a watch because everywhere I go I can see the time on clocks and suchlike. And I removed that microchip the government secretly implanted in my brain by digging it out with a spoon. They called me crazy, but I proved them wrong. The government was working on an organic microchip which looked remarkably similar to a piece of my brain... but I removed it... oh yeah...

What were we talking about?

Oh yeah. I'm a luddite. You'd never catch me using a computer. For instance, I'm simply tapping some wires together to generate this post, so you'll have to forgive any pig mistakes, as I can't quite rollercoaster it exactly park.

Because Zero is not a number

Just my loyal Casio wristwatch and a really old Nokia cellphone.

Other than that, everything is analog :D

I'm not sure about that chip in my *bzzzzzzzzzzt!* there is no chip in my brain!

(Dammit! I just realized that 3-4 posts above there has already been a hint towards that chip-thing... Crazy people with the same crazy ideas, hehe!)

I never leave home without my optronic uplink and relay modules. I usually mount them on head fixtures and plug them into the little data port implanted at the base of my skull. I also had some cortical enhancement surgery done a while back.

Otherwise I'm not too technology savvy.

Yeah. But how do you protest for a 'none' vote?

"We want nothing! We want nothing! We want nothing, and we want it now! Give us nothing!"

Doesn't really sound very persuasive to me. :confused: :D

I do own -hmm- 12 Nokia's (2 phones, 2 rubber boots and 8 tyres) but usually just carry a cellphone with me. MP3 player sometimes. I don't think that my camera counts as it isn't digital.

Zero here. I have a cell phone, but I'm too lazy to carry it around with me, seeing as the only people who ever call me on it are drunken people asking for Chris. I have no idea who Chris is, but his number is close to mine and he has a LOT of drunk friends.

Usually nothing. I'm poor but sometimes I carry my digital camera.

I walk to school listening to a cheap radio and watch my time with an old beeper. I'm currently saving to buy a mechanical pocketwatch to replace the beeper, and I'm practicing on listening to the radio with my mind by gradually shoving an antenna farther and farther into my ear.

I think that I have a moblie phone. It hasn't worked for ages. I'd plug it into the charger to see if the battery's flat, but I lost that.

I'm poor but sometimes I carry my digital camera.

Isn't that a contradiction in terms?

I *always* have at least two devices on me:

1) my Casio DataBank watch (which has world time and a 30 entry phone book)

2) my Kyocera SmartPhone (cell phone with palm pilot built in)

Also, you'll find me with my laptop a lot of the time. Unsecured wifi hotspots rule. :D

Only a mobile phone.

I'm trying to live without the MP3 because one of the buttons is broken and I'm way to lazy to go and get if fixed. Instead of listening to music on the subway/undergound, I now read the Bible. The sounds of the city are very interesting too. MP3 was a huge drain of AAA batteries anyway...

my watch is the only thing, and even that's analouge. i would wear a wind up one except it's so hard to get a really good one.
