When it comes to knowledge about the latest gadgets, I consider myself advance compared to a regular housewife. I don’t have to have the best of the new electronics but I want to have a decent kind of (some of) each—a decent smartphone, a decent laptop, a decent tablet, etc. And I don’t buy these things just to “have” them. I really use them and I use them in a way that they become something really beneficial for me to have. For example, I use my laptop for work related stuff. My iPad has apps for recipes, children books, emags, ebooks, newspapers, my blog subscriptions, my notes, organizer, etc. I use my phone not just for calling but also for checking my emails when I am on the go, as navigation, as camera, etc. I can’t name all the uses but believe me when I say I did not waste my money on them. I didn’t buy them just to have something to flaunt.
Being a bit of a gadget freak means I am always connected to the Internet. It’s my main library, my resource for all the information I need. I consider myself “wired” to it and I read the so called “news of the wired” to learn and track the latest gadgetry on the market. I don’t have to have the latest but it is always good to learn about new technologies.
