The question which is exercising my mind this morning is 'how much portable technology is too much?' I only started to think about this after a chance remark from Jamie set my brain working. I was sitting in my chair, minding my own business, when he walked in. "Look at you," he said, "With all your technology around you."
I had my 10-inch tablet in my hand, completing a jigsaw puzzle. On the table beside me was my 7-inch tablet which I use for the internet, my ebook reader, my mobile phone and the music player I take on my morning walk.
Is that an unreasonable amount of technology? To my mind, I would be unhappy to cope with less. Maybe the phone could double as a music player or I could browse the internet on my games tablet. But it wouldn't be as .. something! I like the set-up I have put in place and I think I deserve a little indulgence after how hard I've worked over 50 years.
Anyway, Jamie can't criticise; he's notorious for cherishing his collection of sound equipment and he can't resist adding to his stash.
Let him who is without sin, ....
