Electronics

 Me - Electronics wow! Something really super duper exciting happened to me a few years ago. When I went to Six Flags Great Adventure, they had tons of claw machines. There were some with pillow pets, i-pod touchs, i-pod shuffles, Kindle Fires, and other electronics. I played  the claw machine with the i-pod Touchs in it. I figured I probably wouldn't win, but I hoped I would. I actually won an i-pod Touch! I couldn't believe it and neither could my family. I loved my i-pod Touch. I later got another newer i-pod Touch for my birthday, but I lost it on a bus. I also have a DS. I use to play it all the time, but I don't as much anymore. I still have a lot of games though. I have a computer. I play games and download music, and look things up. I have a Kindle to read books and play games. I love reading  and playing games.I also have a Kindle Fire. I have a phone, but it is not a smart phone. I am getting a smart phone though. I would like have a portable DVD player. My sister has one, and my Mom and Dad have one for the whole family, but I would like to have my own. I love electronics!

Mom - We all know we live in the age of electronics. Of course, I could probably live without my electronics if I had to, but frankly, I don't really want to. I love my mp3. I love being able to pick and choose 100's of songs I like and carry them around with me wherever I go on this tiny little device. When you listen to whole album, lots of times there are at least a song or two which you don't like. This way there is not. I love my DVR. I am not at all interest in what is on, I only want to watch what I want to watch when I want to watch it. I know this has gotten even easier now that you can watch TV shows on desktops, laptops, tablets, phones and various other ways. However, for me, even though I sometimes watch shows on my computer, I still prefer watching them the old fashion way on the TV just not necessarily at their regularly scheduled times. I love my DVD because I love being able to own movies and watch them whenever  I want without having to download them and/or watch them on my computer or something. I love my Kindle because I love being able to carry around a ton of books without actually having to carry around a ton of books. Also, I like being able to get books at the touch of a button without even having to go out of my house. I love my computer, my Kindle Fire, and my smartphone because I love to be able to get information I want on anything no matter where I am (well within reason, of course, when I don't get that dreaded no service or no connection message). I know I could probably live without any of these things, and for most of my life I did. However, now that these things do exist, and I don't have to live without them, why should I? The trick is to not let them take over my life. That is something I am definitely better at sometimes than others.

And that's our view. What electronics could you not live without?

Tune in tomorrow for Tips for Tuesday.
