narration about electrical gazets
Answers
Explanation:
When it comes to gadgets, I tend to be a late adopter, usually due to a combination of (1) being too cheap to spend money on the newest gizmo and (2) being overwhelmed with the number of options when it comes to gizmos and succumbing to analysis paralysis and putting off the decision. I finally bought a used Xbox (original) on eBay shortly before the X360 was released. I bought myself a shiny new iMac … three years ago. That was also about the time I last purchased a cell phone, a Motorola RAZR which was already outdated. One of these days I want to get a DSLR camera, an iPad, maybe upgrade my computer.

I tell you this to explain that my reasons for not having lots of gadgets isn’t always—or even usually—altruistic. Yes, I’m all for conservation and being green, which gets on the nerves of many of my Midwestern neighbors who don’t understand why I would choose to ride my bike when I have a perfectly good minivan. Let’s face it—environmental concerns aren’t really the reason I don’t own an X360 yet.
