The Gadget Debate

The Windows vs. MAC vs. Android debate and who's gadget is better will it ever be settled

The Apple Company i find is for the gadget person driven more by the philosophy of keeping up with the Jones's ... You have the IPOD the IPOD touch the IPHONE and now the IPAD.  Just little gadgets to proove what really.  Do they enhance our lives.  Maybe but in what way really.  The IPAD is just a glorified IPHONE with a larger screen it has no expansion capabilites heck you can't even plug in a USB device to it.
You can't even hook it to your TV.  A mere toy in todays robust world of IT with no ture purpose I find just something for the people that every gadget out there.
I have no idea what the hype is about an overgrown IPOD or IPHONE.

The one thing I have always asked myself in life is when looking at something will it help me in life will i get enjoyment out of it, is it something I will put in a shelf and forget when evaluating something.

If I am going to buy it the value must be tangible and make sense my guidlines below
1. Will it enhance my life
2. Will i use it regularly
3. Will I get bored with it if yes .. don't bother buying it.
4. Does the value make sense

Those are just a few.

I am strong believer in items that are of use The PC world doesn't focus on the gadget side of life but on the true purpose of what people use a PC for Business, E-mail, Surfing the Internet Video streaming and Gaming of course.

The Apple world is driven bt propritary technology devices that serve no value in life just another gadget that is not really needed.   The IMAC and the IBOOK i don't consider them in this debate.

I guess we can also bring the cell phone in to this debate as well since I am taking about the Iphone do we really need a device to link the world to us what ever happend to a simple device for e-mail and making phone calls and of course a calendar.  I have no desire nor can I understand why people need to post to Facebook or Twitter from a phone.  What type of shallow existense has the world come to when we need to live our lives plus the lives of celebrites and friends.  If i want to know what a friend is up to I will call them I don't care when they get there coffee what line they are in at the grocery store.  If I am at the grocery store and see them I will say hi.

Ok I veered of a little but I think you get my point.
Do we really need all this what are we doing to our children?
think about it was your life growing up that bad without being in constant contact with the world around you.
I don't think so.

Just think about it feel free to comment
