Redundancies

I have started to donwload some songs to my phone which turned out to be a blast. It had its own speaker and can be heard wtihin the confines of my room if needed plus it has an fm radio, as well. Just then I wondered why I had to go out of my way to download the songs that were actually in my Ipod already or my Ipaq. Then I realized that it seems like we are moving in to redundancies in our lives.

Imaigne the gadgets that occupy our bags with multiple and even overlapping uses. My phone aside from the music function has a tv and camera. Why do we need a separate digi cam if the phone actually has even a video function? Wierd but it seems that we are having certain redundancies in life.

We have all these things. We still want more. I know cause I can feel it. Despite the fact that I already have a laptop to use for work and recreation needs, I am still itching to get a more portable Asus EE which was is said to be not only lightweight but safer to carry around. Why I want that is something beyond me. How will I find time to use it? I do not know too at times.

In my mind, the great debate goes on...Sometimes our things have overlapping functions, and yet we insist that we need each one...we have each and every one...we carry them wherever we go...I would not be a hypocrite because I must admit that as absurd as it sounds, I think I always end up finding the time to use each and every gadget in each an every possible way....haah there goes my realization...
