'Which gadgets do you own?' poll discussion

Jacks_xxx

So Digital Camera, Printer, and Computer of one sort or another and Games Console are the things most people have so far.

Is 81% (the printer percentage) the true total level of people who own a computer?

Or do 100% have at least one computer since 73% have a lap top 8% have a Mac, 60% have a desktop and 15% have a netbook?

Or do the 73% who have a laptop also own one or two other computers?

My MIL has none of those things, but she does have a microwave and a washing machine. My son is moving out soon and I think he expects to have almost all of them! :eek:

The thing with this is what do you count as a Gadget? Why is a slow cooker a gadget. Are we meant to only be looking at modern items off that list. I technically own games consoles which i play regularly but they are an Atari 2600 (1977) an Atari Jaguar (1993) and an Original x-box. So not exactly a modern gadgets. As as regards food processor I have a 30 year old Kenwood chef with a FP attachment.

So what do you want from this poll. What new devices people have or what?

Didn't see a Sling Box on the list - we can watch Doctors in Florida via our lap top while having breakfast. Are we sad? Yes!

I thought I had loads of gadgets but it turns out not as much as some people!

I have a:

Mac laptop (for work and uni)
iMac
printer/scanner combo
digital camera (have several cameras DSLR, SLR (film) holga and seagul twin lens (film) type and a little digital compact)
iPhone (the first gen one and it's looks rather battered - my brother gave it to me though so it's a freebie )
electric toothbrush
wacom intuos 3 tablet - which is not currently working and the warranty ends today!!! (luckily I have a mini wacom tablet which still works after 10 years of use!)

I do have a onecup kettle type thing... and a hairdryer...

Don't have a TV/video/dvd etc (can watch DVD's on the computers)

does a Dremel count

I work in photography and my Uni course is digital media design hence the computer & photography stuff so I do use these items everyday... except the hairdryer (which I didn't pay for... ex-house tenant left it behind!)

I luuuurve gadgets and I have all the gadgets listed bar for:

3D TV (not convinced at tech)
Gaming chair (Leather sofa suffices and I aint 12)
Energy monitor box (Was sent one, by the leccy company but had zero gadge factor so was binned, I knew how much leccy I was using its called a bill)
Breadmaker (Have fab independant artisan baker nearby)


I also have about 20k of camera and video kit which has paid for itself a 100 times over. I also have multiples of other items, I have about 8 laptops at the mo, 3 are used the rest are stashed in the garage.
However my weakness is for hi fi kit, current setup cost 20k ish but if the funds were available I could happily blow 120K on British Made hi fi gadge heaven.

Its all relative though, a lot of my gadge is related to my work, and any gadge has to justify its existence and earn its keep.

Met a photo/vidiographer on holiday last week, I was drooling at his 300k worth of kit, but he does shoot underwater for national geographic.

Would be interesting to see how many of each, people have. There are 3 x 32" tv's in our house as well as a 40", a 26", a 19", a 15" and 3 x 14". Do I win?

Computers are another thing many people have several of whether it be desktops or laptops.
