What piece of technology did you say "Why do I need that?" that you now can't live without? I remember saying "Why do I need a cellphone, I can just use a payphone or my home phone". and "What do I need the internet for? I don't read all that much as it is" |

I got a new truck and it had remote start and heated seats. I thought the remote start was a waste of time and heated seats were for pussies.
During the cold weather the remote start is great. And when you remote start it the heated seats come on. I really like these features that I had no use for. Some one will probably now call me a pussy so OK I am.

WTF? Are you at an airport or what?
)| Smartphone... I was always the "my cell phone makes phone calls and that's it" kinda guy. I had a crackberry for my work email and hated it. Now that I have a crackberry in my personal life, text messages and real time email is something I cannot live with out. I've run into more and more situations where sending a text is more apropreiate then placing a call. Or an incoming text/email with needed info can be had at a glance rather than interupting to take a call. |

I would give up all this new fangled technology to live in an era when our govenment loved our Constitution and a man was was free to hunt and fish without ten thousand ridiculous rules and if somebody fucked you over you could kick their ass with out you becoming the bad guy and you could tell the truth and make truthful statements without being punished or ostracized for being politically incorrect and you could walk down the street and get a fucking job because they hadn't all been sent to China and India and if you wanted to build a tool shed in your back yard you didn't need 13 permits,7 inspections and anybodys fucking permission and you could buy any gun you wanted if you had the money for it and carry where you godammn well pleased and if you were a dickhead to someone they could kick your ass without becoming the bad guy themselves and our country actually had borders and if you took out a mortgage you couldn't afford to pay it was your fucking problem not mine and women made sandwiches and men mowed the lawn and in most cases you could actually tell a man from woman just by looking at them. I'd give up my cell phone and microwave for that. I know how to heat food and write a letter. |

Every point was valid, but... -1 because it hurt my eyes and brain to read that, and -1 needs more swearing
