Are you technically savvy for the 21st Century?

Handphones, Digital Cameras, IPods, MP3, you want em' go get em'. Only problem is which one..what brand..slim or flip, how user friendly are they and how much?

Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, LG, Samsung...the big boys just to name a few. When the 1st one ever came out in early 1990s (or is it not), the sole purpose was just to be able to make and receive calls. Fantastic invention in comparison to the much used pager then which was dominated locally by Electcoms Berhad in the from the early 80s. A first step towards modern technology.

Mobile phones and digital cameras continues to be one of the crowd pullers. Buying power is huge. We see them everywhere we go. The choices are immensely wide and awesome and at some point complicated. Gone are the days where a phone only function is just to "call". The 21st Century offers more than what we can bargain for...question is, can we keep up with them? From 3G to megapixel cameras to UGA cameras for video call to MP3 that can store thousands of songs, mobile internet and recently a phone with navigation, the Nokia 6110.

The 1st mobile phone was a very huge Motorola monster and a hit together with the car phone ATUR. Its function ability beside the normal calls also acts as a tool and protection! That chunk of thing is so sturdy that I won't be surprise it will be able to dent up your car or at least knock any of us out cold at a throw! Recently, we had the Siemens Blackberry, the French Government banned it for fear that the US might use the phone for spying and espionage purposes. Oh, I got to tell you this, one of my collegue at work is using a phone that is able to calculate the ladies monthly cycle and by doing that will be able to tell us whether we are pregnant of not!! Is that cool or what?

I have been toying with the idea of changing my handphone soon. Well, my Sony Ericsson and Panasonic has served me well but just to keep up with the trend. Yo the kakak selling nasi lemak near my office is using a Motorola Razor ZR god damn it!!! It is just a want really not need.

What I actually need more is a digital camera. Need to scout around for one with a good price. Nikon Cool Pix, Sony, or a Panasonic Lumix..choices, choices, choices...

I would really prefer a digital SLR..oh sure they are bulky but solid as a rock! Yeah digital SLR would be grand and superb...Canon, Olympus, Nikon or Pentax...decision, desicion, decision..sigh

I shudder to think what these gadgets will be able to do or be like 10 years away from now.

Beam me up Scottie....
