How Long Could You Live Without Your Gadgets?

DruCipher writes "CNet.co.uk is running a very funny article about Andrew Lim, the resident mobile phone reviewer, trying to live without all his favorite gadgets. The article sees Andrew try to survive without a mobile phone, a computer, an MP3 player and a TV. At the end of his technology detox he feels more relaxed without all his gadgets but cracks after a few days, 'Like all proper detoxes, though, my zen-like calm didn't last for long. Once I'd finished my gadget starvation, I was straight back to the tech binging. A remote control gun you say? Yes please!'"

Who are you speaking for? I'm sorry to spoil your self absorbed personal geek fest, but I should remind you that *nerds* don't necessarily deck themselves out in high tech gadgets. That is something the *geeks* do to hide the fact that they aren't as intelligent as the nerds.

No offense, and maybe you are an exception to this rule, but in my experience, the guys who geek out on gadgets are usually the least skilled at their actual jobs. Put down the fucking phone/GPS/iPod and code or something else useful, damn it. I dont' care if you can send a video from your phone to your "girlfriend" in the Phillipines of yourself wanking.

Gadget geeks are so annoying and useless.
