Warren (Canada): I don't think I have enough1 gadgets2.
I think ... I don't think anyone should have too many, but I'm definitely
wanting to have a few more3 devices4 to help me. Right now5, I only have a regular cellphone6, but I
really wanted to get an iPhone. Actually7,
my iPod, I put through8
the washing machine9 by accident, and it managed to keep working10
for a year, but now the insides11
have rusted out12
and it doesn't work, so I need to get one of those, too.
Hum..do I have too many gadgets? I don’t think
so. The only one I have is the iphone. Other than that I don’t have any. I’m
not really interested in that to be honest.
Tim
(United States): I don't have too many gadgets. I have essential things13,
like I have a cellphone, I have a computer, a camera, and that's basically it.
I don't really get a lot of gadgets and random
items14, because if I don't use something very often, I
don't see the point15 of having it, so I get rid of16 it,
or I'll just not buy it in the first place.
Sunny
(Korea ) : I don't think I have too many gadgets. I only
have the regular ones people have17,
like18 computers,
mp3 players, but I really like to try new stuffs19,
even20 ... if I
had some chance.
Gareth
(England): Yeah, I have quite a few21
gadgets, quite a few old mp3 players that I no longer use22, and every time23 Apple releases24 a new
product, I have to have it, so it's a little bit like an obsession for me.
Lindsay
(United States): No, I don't; my
husband does. He's always buying a new gadget, a new computer, a new projector25, a new
DVD player. But for me, no, I don't like gadgets. I just got26 an iPhone, so that's probably my
only real gadget.
