I live in a reasonably sized one bedroom apartment. By New York City standards it's pretty spacious. But...my bedroom is literally 10 steps from my living room. My dining table is virtually part of the living room. And I can see the whole apartment from the pass through in my kitchen.
So why do I have two plasma TVs, Tivo (I was an early enough adopter to have Lifetime Service), a Time Warner DVR, one DVD/VCR combo, one DVD player, two PCs, one Apple Mac Pro, four iPods (of varying shapes and sizes), and a drawer full of mobile phones that are still in perfect good working order (although I use my Blackberry Pearl these days)?
Last night a friend asked for help using her new Blackberry. I started going through it and she was looking at me like I was speaking Latin. At that point I realized that technology had become part of my DNA.
I've accepted it. I am a geek. I embrace it and I integrate it into my life on a daily basis. Not exactly a fit with the shoe museum in my closet, but hey...
I'm currently driving the best car I ever owned. A 2007 Toyota Prius. I get in the car, plug in one of my iPods, and connect my phone to the built-in Bluetooth. I set my destination on the GPS and off I go. In a car that wraps around my lifestyle and fits like a glove. While getting 45 miles to the gallon.
And apparently I've become entirely comfortable with sharing every detail of my life. Online I try to keep up with this blog. But you have the option to check out Facebook , LinkedIn, Twitter, Fotolog or YouTube. I'm there too.
