Un-techie me

My brother and my roommates often tell me that I'm terrible when it comes to gadgets.

I almost never answer my cellphone when someone's trying to call me, sometimes because I leave it in my room upstairs when I go downstairs, sometimes the other way around, sometimes because I forget to take it out of silent mode, sometimes i leave it in my bag, or when it's a strange number, I simply don't answer it. I have an aversion to calls from unknown numbers.

My itouch has contained the same videos, applications and games since it has been with me and no, it does not have any music. Furthermore, I don't have an itunes account. I also charge it at most twice a week, when I find the charger. Yeah, I know, I suck. Haha.

When my brother and I had digicams of the same brand (sony, I believe), he used to get mad because I would exchange his fully charged battery and leave my empty one in his camera. He sold his camera after about a year. When my friends and I had an out of town trip, I brought the camera, complete with battery and charger, but neglected to charge the battery at night. When our family went on vacation to Singapore, I packed the camera, charged the battery, then forgot the battery and charger when we left the house. See? Hopeless. Thankfully, on both trips, at least one of my companions had a camera.

I also have a netbook, which is probably the only thing that is consistently charged and used, but probably only because I need it for work.

It's true, for someone who is blessed enough to own several gadgets, I know that I don't take advantage of their full capabilities. Hah, I probably don't even use 25% of their capacity. I'm sorry, but I really am that lazy. Maybe because I feel that these gadgets are just contraptions that add to the complications of my daily life and I can fully function without them. Don't get me wrong, I do have a healthy respect for the truly techie people (brother included) who make the effort of updating their knowledge and sharing their knowledge with the rest of us. I just haven't caught up with the twenty-first century.

Maybe I'll start with charging the gadgets regularly, whaddya think?
