    Gadgets, like any addiction, start out making us happy, but we start building up a tolerance so we're constantly looking for the newest most potent gadget, just so we can experience that first high again. Pretty soon we've emptied our bank accounts, racked up massive debt, and contemplated selling vital organs.


    We know the addiction is destroying us but we can't stop, and that makes us sad.

    Do gadgets make me happy? Let's just say unboxing a new gadget gives me the same thrill as opening presents on Christmas when I was little.

    It depends. If they work right, they make my life easier. That makes me happy.


    If they don't, that makes my life harder. That irks and frustrates me.


    Case in point: my iPhone. Because of a bad account setting, I had to kludge a solution to check my work email while out of office. It increased my stress levels as I was never really sure of what messages were coming in or going out.


    Now, things are set correctly. I can be in close contact with my staff and clients. That makes me more efficient and lowers my stress levels.


    If something lowers my stress, it makes me happy.

    Back in the dawn before time, when I got my start as a commenter here, the explicit mission of this blog was to highlight how one was so in love with shiny new gadgets that it was unnatural.


    So yes. They make me quite happy.

    gadgets are the grown-up's toys. how can that not make you happy? but don't get me wrong. eating, fucking, and shitting make me pretty darn happy, too. well, i have to eat, shit, and then fuck. can't fuck when i got a turtle head poking out. have you ever tried eating and fucking? i had a buddy that always wanted to try eating a sandwich and fucking at the same time and i must admit the concept intrigues me. i'd try it tonight, but i don't have any food in the house. damn spending my money on gadgets.

    If it makes you feel any better, there aren't enough people looking for either Jesus Diaz or Jason Chen to do a comparison.
