What Technology Can't You Live Without?

Recommended Posts

There are several technologies I have that I am willing to pay more than I do to keep.

1. TiVo/DVR - How the hell can anyone NOT have this???? This is, by far, my favorite gizmo. I have Charter Digital DVR with On Demand and it kicks ass. I have TiVo on my other TV and I love it because I can program it on-line from anywhere.

2. XM Radio - I would have never thought I would like it. I bought a new Accord with it for free and got hooked.

3. Web Bill Pay - I used to be late on my bills because ...no stamps....put it in the glovebox.....whatever....Now, if I go on USAA twice a month, Im good. My credit was dinged due to dumbass late pays....Now it is well over 700.

4. eBay - Id say eBay has saved me $10,000 vs. Retail. I got burned last week for the 1st time in over 400 transactions. Anyone want a Motorola SLVR that works in China?

I miss having to rewind all those 8-track tapes the players always ate up and pulled out.

:D:D

Can't do without? Since I live in the U.S. - the automobile
My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

That's funny, the only thing I use on your list is web bill pay.

I hate to admit, I wouldn't want to live without my cell phone. But that's mostly because I like my kids to be able to get ahold of me when they need me.

    hmm...think that's about it. I could live without a phone - would just have to get back to sending *gasp* letters. :D

    I don't work or go to school far from where I live so I could walk or ride a bike (although it'd suck big time during the winter). :D

    thong underwear (although not for me personally)



    lol...I'm glad you added that disclaimer. I thought that was a very strange thing for a man to need! :ph34r:

    I've got the Charter HD-DVR tied into a nice Onkyo surround sound system. Between the HD channels and On Demand, my winters are set. Obviously I can live without it though, as I don't watch more than a couple hours a week during the summer.

    I just installed my XM system last night. Had to drive a couple hours this morning, and I'm already hooked! How the hell did I manage without it?! :D

    I don't use one specific system, but I love the bills that I don't have to pay manually. I'm down to 3 per month that I have to mail/deliver somewhere, and going down to 1 within the next month.
