Well, I'm a tech junkie, but I held out against social networking during my college years. It was only after I started working, and having colleagues bug me for my Facebook name for wanting to add me as a friend did I finally give in and signed up for Facebook.

But as far as phone goes, no. I was actually one of the early geeks who embraced mobile internet. Already had a PDA paired up with a cellphone via Bluetooth and was already surfing the web wirelessly at a whopping speed of 56kbps back in 2000.

Hmm I fight it in strange small battles. I refuse to use facebook, twitter or almost any social network via RL friends. I think it just asks for trouble in the professional world, and it encourages less and less face to face interaction. Hmmmm, I also refuse to buy into a Nook or any other handheld no longer need of books device....how could anyone ever want to replace a book?
