QOTD: What Gadgets Can't You Live Without?

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

Tell us what is essential to your living.

Our computers do so much for us. They entertain us by playing games, movies, music and other multimedia. They let us keep in touch with friends and annoy others with social networks. Many of us even earn our living thanks to computers. We know that you can't live without your computer(s). We can't either, but now we've come to depend on many other devices to get us through the day.

What we want to know from you is what other electronic devices and gadgets you can't live without, besides the computer.

We're expecting most of you to answer with your mobile phones, as convergence has made the simple calling device into so much more (including your alarm clock), but we're hoping that you can surprise us with the unexpected. Mind you, it doesn't have to be high-tech stuff. For example, I can no longer do without my specialty coffee maker that brews a single cappuccino from a little pod, nor can I fly on an airplane without my noise canceling headphones.

For our QOTD, tell us what sort of gadgets that you simply can't live without.

Phone. Walkman. Though what i like is having individual gadgets that are great at one thing instead of average at everything.

Mobile phone. MP3 player. I guess that my laptop might count as a gadget too.

My Panasonic lumix TZ7 digital camera. I get a disproportionate amount of pleasure using that little beauty.

My Sony Bravia 55" DRP TV (1080P). Makes my mates 32" look like a portable, and forced me back into PC gaming when it showed up all the little faults on the consoles.

I can't live without my dick, it's the best gadget I have! It has two functions to pee and fuck.

1) The electric roof on my Honda Del Sol
2) My DS - it trains my brain, entertains me and is my alarm clock
3) My guitars/pedals/amps (do these count?)
4) My exercise bike. I would go crazy if I didn't use it for 9 hours a week
5) The desire inside my brain which thirsts on new experiences and technology to avoid the boredom which so many people dwell on and get depressed. Cheer up emo.

My Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 Laptop. I have been all around the world with this thing, climbed Mt.Everest with it, bike trip thru Alaska with it. I would go crazy without it! Flashlights, knives, watches. It's a very expensive addition I picked up somewhere. LOL
At least when I wake up the next day I still have them!!!
