When Does Technolust Become An Addiction?
An anonymous reader writes "According to a CNet article, an incredible one in three people aged 16 to 24 in the UK would not give up their mobile phone for a million pounds. 'The phone-centric survey, called Mobile Life, was carried out across the UK and questioned 1,256 people aged 16 to 64 on a variety of topics ... So young people really like having a mobile phone and we all love buying gadgets. But before you dismiss this research as stating the bleeding obvious, think about this -- if someone had told you even ten years ago that people would be taking out second mortgages to buy flat screen TVs, would you have believed it?' Is this just the result of deliberately skewed marketing dressed up as research, or is this another indication of western culture's obsession with communication and technology? How much is too much tech?"
Some banks offer very easy terms (even zero charge) to "top up" a current mortgage. Depending on your bank, this is typically far cheaper than a regular loan.
Engineering is the art of compromise.
Does the term "figure of speech" mean anything to you? Obviously not.
If you reply to a first post, the moderators are more likely to see it as they are lazy and don't bother scrolling down more than a page or two. The moderators are either too stupid to notice that the reply has NOTHING to do with the parent, or they don't care, which is just as bad. Such is the way of Slashdot.
