My husband is manages a technology group for a large firm. He is so non-high tech at home, I call him our family Luddite. I had to goad him into getting his first cell phone. On the other hand, the day I got him his first iPod was his turn toward the dark side. He can't live without the thing and has about 7,000 tracks on it; I also bought him one of those USB turntables and he has been gradually turning our vinyl record collection into an digitally remastered mp3 collection.

I am kind of the opposite; I have worked in the tech field for over 8 years and I pride myself in being so non-techy and not going bonkers when a new technology comes out. Yet, while I am waying this, I am sending a text message on my smartphones QWERTY keyboard, which I used as a GPS with a bluetooth GPS unit, which I use to watch movies and listen to MP3s on, I own 2 laptops, a DELL Axim, wear a bluetooth headset (only when I drive, thank you very much) and have over 60 videos on YouTube because I love to film everything with not only my 7 mega-pizel Sony CyberShot, but also with my Sony HandyCam... and I have a Wii and sometimes turn it on just to surf the net via it's built-in 802.11g connection... So when I tell people that I am not techy, they don't beleive me...

Excellent Article... I'm still waiting for the day when we can sync our brains with a computer kinda like The Matrix.
"Whoa,I know Kung-Fu!?"
The we will also have human clones that have nano-technology inside their bodies, thus, the computer will no longer be considered a "Desktop" or "Laptop". More like a "Ribtop" or a "Braintop"
Oh well, here I go rambling on...
