shipps Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 In the past month and a half I have purchased a flat screen HD TV,PS3(a bunch of blu ray movies),a Blackberry phone,an Ipod,and finally got Netflix.I had been living with all the old versions of all these things and was perfectly happy with it,but now that I have these things it has changed my life pretty dramatically.I cant watch a TV show that isnt in HD,no more listening to the gyms awful musical choices while I work out,no more trips to Blockbuster to stare at a thousand boxes on a shelf that has no movies behind them,and my phone doesnt die out from low battery after having a conversation that is more than 2 minutes anymore.With all that said I still do not have my own computer.I use the one at work or a friend or family computer,its pitiful.

StrangeSox Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 No HDTV, still have analogue cable. I have a hand-me-down Dell MP3 player from my mom that I never use. I had a free Razor phone, but my friend just gave me his Cingular/ AT&T 8525. I don't pay for the data packages to actually use any of the features, though. I have a decent desktop computer (most parts are two years old or so), but no laptop. I do have Netflix, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I hear you can actually go to the grocery store and buy bread that is already sliced for you, so I'm fixin' to give some of that a try pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if you go to Whole Foods,their bread is soooo organic that they dont even slice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I am probably 6 or 7 years behind, but I don't really care. "Progress" costs cash, which I see no reason to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I can't really say I'm "behind the times" anywhere. I basically have everything. Well, it's all relative anyway. I have 2 desktop PCs at the house but a broken laptop, I have a Xbox 360 and a Wii but not a PS3, and I have a 720p HDTV instead of a 1080p. I don't have satellite radio, but that comes with DirecTV anyway so whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I think i am the last person on the planet without a cell phone. And you know what? I really dont mind. My job requires me to be on the phone all the time anyways, I dont need to be on it any more. I have voicemail at home, i will get back to you, i promise.

I don't own a cell phone either. If I need a phone, I'll borrow one from someone at home and take it with me. If my job needed me to have one, I'd get one, but, I don't at this time.

WilliamTell Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 1992 Chevy S-10 but it only has 123,000 miles on it. Otherwise I am always beind in technology, I didn't get a cell phone until I was 20, 2 years ago. I don't have an ipod or an HDTV. I'm pretty pumped about basic DVD's still.

lostfan Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I actually don't use a computer for an internet connection, I actually just sit down with a sharpened Ethernet cable and stick it into my vein. When I'm done, I take it out and swab it with alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Still sporting the standard definition, rounded screen TV...though the picture is really good, its only a couple years old. This all changes when I move into the new apartment this August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Have a cell phone, but it's on my family's account back home, they get a big bundle with minutes they never use, and I only use it to make free long distance phone calls, I never carry it with me. Also using a 25 year old TV set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooftop Shots Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Still don't have a CD player in my car. Can only play cassettes. I remember seeing some cavemen chasing buffalo carved on the back side of the deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car doesn't have an engine. Instead, me and my neighbor Barney have to get it moving by running with our big bare caveman feet. Oh, yeah, and my stereo is a horn connected to a bird whose beak plays records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
