Speaking of technology, boy, the little gizmos that are so popular (i.e. the ipod, cell phones that serve as camera/video recorder/mp3 player/etc) are so cool!

The iphone sounds super cool and well designed. The ipod shuffle now comes in different colors. Overall it seems that Apple has created some of the most user-friendly technologies (so phooey on those people who are afraid of new technologies, rather than the prices of them).

Cell phone companies make some of the new (at least new in the U.S.) phones so affordable and seemingly efficient(while none quite so capable as the iphone-wow!) when you don't have to tote around your digital camera, mp3 player and cell phone. And its nice to be available to keep in touch with people while running errands and traveling.

I can't decide which is more accurate: the companies marketing these technologies are either really good at what they do (in convincing the general population that they need these blobjects) or I really do need these products.
