Computers.

I don't really care that much for computers.  I consider them to be nothing more than tools.  I'm not one of those early adapters that must always have the newest model, nor am I the one that's always trying to tweak it just a little bit.

As I said, it's a tool; it's good for some jobs and completely useless for others.  Some games, writing, some research, some shopping, and spreadsheets are great on computers; notice how I didn't mention reading or creating?  When I read I want to hold it in my hands and turn the pages and smell the paper.  How about creating, have you ever tried to create something on a computer?  I despise Play-Doh (as every parent should) but it might be a better medium for creation in the 3D realm.

Am I some crazy Luddite that wants to get rid of computers?  Of course not.  I just get annoyed when I have problems with my computer.  Today the problem was this computer doesn't have Word.  Do you know how hard it is to write somethings without the correct template?  I could do it on a spreadsheet (I can make them dance) but it would be better in the long run to do it as a Word document.  And I don't have Word on this computer.

Yes, I know that I can download it but that always brings up more concerns.  Money, safety, and can my computer handle the extra stuff floating around in the memory?  I said that I'm not an early adapter, I don't know if Word was taken off to save space by the previous owner.

Of course, since I'm not tied to Word I can look around and do some research about the competition.  That is something I like about computers, you can research the competition and force companies to strive to be efficient and innovative.
