    Assuming you mean things like PCs, laptops, Smart phones, tablets, and all the various iPhones/pads/etc...

    ...with no smart phone or any of the other things, just a PC - believe it or not my favourite things are my wireless keyboard and wireless mouse!

    Not only are there two less cables but I only have one table and it is a very small one. So my psc and my monitor have to sit on it as well as keyboard and mouse. But as I also need the table to eat, being wireless I can shift both out of the way and have enough table space to enable me to eat.

    Simple things please simple minds! :)

    Most definitely my car, a 1 litre Suzuki Swift called Noddy. Although he only does 75mph flat out he's a sturdy little workhorse who never lets me down. He's carried us all from Hungary to Cornwall and back a couple of times without complaint, through all kinds of weather and even though he's now 12 years old I wouldn't swop him for all the tea in China!:038:

    Maybe I am weird but I never connect my wheels with technology. To me they serve a purpose giving me freedom of movement.

    You can keep your Magimix but if your cordless drill ever needs a new home...

    I recently had to get a large screw hook into my wooden door frame. First I had to hammer a nail in to even make a dent. It did that. Just made a dent. So then it was time for a larger nail. Which went in a wee bit further. Then fished out a very old auger like this

    [​IMG]
    and tried to actually get the threads to bite.

    Eventually, with the help of a pair of pliers, I managed to get the screw hook in place.

    I then had to do the same on the door and another two on the opposite side of the door frame.

    I would have done anything for a cordless drill! :043:

    There was a time when the wheel, the petrol engine and the car were wonders of modern technology not something we now take for granted. When I'm in my car I forget any problems and worries because I find driving a really relaxing and enjoyable activity BUT this is what I'd really like ....

    You should have been here last year then Barbara when those things drove me crazy! I am sure they would not have missed the odd one or three! :lol:

    I do not have a car - my wheels either run on batteries or are self-propelled. But then again the batteries have to be recharged using electricity, and there was a time when electricity did not exist either...

    I don't really have a lot of technical gadgets :) my phone is an ancient model but I do love my laptop which means I can shop/bank/chat without leaving home.
