Technology can never Break Habits.
There I said it. I’ll never admit Technology can’t do anything, at least while I am still saving up to buy the next great toy (MP3 player, a new Pocket PC), however habits are different.
Case in point: last week I had to take my watch in to get it fixed (that’s another story about how my possessions are out to get me). So while they were figuring out what was wrong with my TAG, I went without a watch. Well as I sit at my desk there are about 5 different things that tell time: my cell phone, my cordless phone (yes it has a clock), my computer, Ike (my iPaq) a radio, not to mention an real life actual clock. But no matter what, I keep looking at my wrist to see the time…then muttering.
Case # 2, my old car (now Sheryl’s) has a digital compass in it. I can remember many incidents while navigating…”hmmm, I need to go North on this road…the sign just gives locations (I hate that)…well the sun is there, so I’m going West now.” You idiot, there is a compass right in front of you.
I hope this admission doesn’t effect my chances of getting any new Tech gear…or further upset the Gadget Gods (more on them later).
