4. Subtle Luxury  One gadget I could appreciate when I was younger was the ice cream maker.

5. A Wealth of Knowledge  The most “technologically literate” person is my daddy.  He is “Mr. Fix It”  From fixing cars and different types of machinery to normal installations, he gets the job done!

6. Social Consequences  In the career world, the more technology one knows, the farther he can go.  How one functions in day to day life (stressful or not) depends on how at ease he/she is with technology.

7. Literate?  The above word is ever-evolving when it comes to technology.  Since newer, better things are being created everyday, one must learn daily in order to maintain his/her status.

8. Experience  The only way to become comfortable with technology is to do it daily.  Familiarize yourself with new accomplishments so it does not become overwhelming.

9. In the Midst  I am definitely in the middle between being an early adopter or a late one.  I like to look at things as they are. If it can assist me, I will not hesitate to try it.

10. Technological “Wish List”  CD Burner  Subwoofer  Video Cell Phone  Flat Screen Television
