What is the one device you couldn't live without?

[The Professor]

If you had to pick one electronic device you own that you would die without, what would it be?

I'd probably say my ipod, feel so bored when im walking places with nothing to listen to!

[Abbie.]

my phone, my phone can hold thousands of songs anyway so i wouldnt miss an ipod or nothing, plus it has the internet and all

[Nixt]

I'd most definitely say my laptop. Providing that I could access the internet :P. It is important to everything - arranging things like going out etc, study, work. Everything. Also, it's a good substitute to things like a phone (text and email from online) and TV (iplayer, warez!!) So yeah, my laptop :).

[Smits]

Phone;

holds songs, keep in touch with friends, use on the go.

next it would be the computer because of facebook

[jackass]

My Computer!

Or maybe my phone. :)

[Markeh]

My laptop. Teamed with a pair of Skullcandys and a Vodafone dongle, best travelling companion ever.

[bigdavecox90]

I'd say my iPhone as it does absolutely everything I need it to do.

[Grippz]

My phone, I can't see how I lived without one, it really does help me control my whole life LOL ;/

[Hecktix]

My laptop probably :D

[bigdavecox90]

My laptop probably :D

Good shout, my iMac is quite important to me aswell. ;)

[Recursion]

Give me my MacBook (headphones included) and T-Mobile G1 to tether and im good.

[The Professor]

Meh so predictable :P Was hoping people would be interesting and say vibrator and stuff but nooo :(

[GoldenMerc]

Has to be my phone !

[Blinger1]

Meh so predictable :P Was hoping people would be interesting and say vibrator and stuff but nooo :(

Why would someone really need one of those? That's what sex is for?

Hmm, maybe my phone or my car, wait, can a car be classified as a device? :(

[Stryderman]

My blacklight.

So when i stay in a hotel i know which beds not to sleep in (H)

[Blinger1]

Your joking, right? Seconds tastes rl good. And if you are so paranoid being a sleeping bag and sleep in that!

[Stephen!]

Vibrating Fleshlight!

[xxMATTGxx]

My phone, I can't see how I lived without one, it really does help me control my whole life LOL ;/

Haha, but you then get annoyed when people bug you.

Anywayyy, I would say my computer. But I remember one time I went to school without my phone and it was the worst day ever, so my mobile. :P

[Barmi]

13" MBP. It's absolutely invaluable because I use it relentlessly every single day.

[Dinosaurawrr]

iphone has my phone and ipod in 1 so i guess tht
but then again i cnt DJ from it so i need my laptop too?

[HotelUser]

My ipad.

my G1 works too..

[AlexOC]

My 'puter.

My gateway to the world.

[Luke]

stuck between my iphone and computer.
Can i keep both ;[?

[MrGazet]

my laptop

not really bothered of my phone

[AlexOC]

stuck between my iphone and computer.
Can i keep both ;[?

NO!

Choose computer, it has everything iphone has.

[iAdam]

Computer, I could live without a phone, just.

Actually no, scratch that, my phone has the internet, phone please.

[Black_Apalachi]

Exactly the same as this. I've been without a phone for the past week and my iPod is broken so I've been stuck with a Nano which is just depressing. I can communicate, listen to music and watch TV on my laptop.

[Agnostic Bear]

My phone.

[MrPinkPanther]

Does anybody else find it funny how people say "laptop", "desktop" or "phone" unless it's an Apple product in which case they want people to know they have one so it's "MacBook", "iMac" or "iPhone".

Anyway, laptop :P

No it's fair bragging rights. I paid 3X for this thing I'm going to call it something special.

Or it could be the successful marketing of a good oligopoly, establishing a unique brand, etc. I don't say to my friends, "look how well this operating system is running," I say, "look how well windows 7 runs".

No because in that case you are describing something more specific, a piece of software explaining to them how good it is so they would need to know the name. In this case it's just a generic device and I always think it comes across as quite arrogant when everyone else says "laptop" and then someone comes along and says "MacBook" because in reality all it is is a laptop.

To be fair some people do it to all their devices, I call my phone my G1, my laptop my MacBook, my old laptop was My Dell, etc.

[GommeInc]

My Advent PC with Windows 7, Quad Core processor, 2GB RAM and a graphics card. Because it's so damn good it's better than calling it a PC :D

Loll tbh I hadn't noticed that before :P Although I am guilty of it cos I say my Blackberry rather than my phone but I have 2 phones so I guess I have an excuse :P

[Jam]

Don't own a phone, don't own a Mac, so my Sony VAIO.

[MrPinkPanther]

Loll tbh I hadn't noticed that before :P Although I am guilty of it cos I say my Blackberry rather than my phone but I have 2 phones so I guess I have an excuse :P

Yeh I think it's anything thats really expensive. Perhaps "Premium products" I should call them. I'm not a Windows fanboy by the way, I am writing this on my Macbook :)

Well it isn't that expensive tbh... was £20 off ebay :P I suppose it happens with any expensive thing in life though, not just gadgets. Same with cars, if you have a ferrari you're not going to say you're going to work in your car, you'd say your ferrari.

[clueless]

my ipod
would get so bored on the bus

[Blinger1]

my ipod
would get so bored on the bus

I like to look at all the funny peopl on the bus and trains!

[clueless]

yeah i people watch way too much on the bus!
but the journey would feel even longer without my ipod

[The Professor]

Ah so it was you staring at me :(

To be fair, Apple would probably argue that a MacBook is a notebook rather than a laptop, and I don't often hear people even use the word notebook in a generic sense.

Likewise, I've always seen BlackBerrys as different to phones (not necessarily better than, because I hate them lol).

You could also argue about people saying iPod instead of MP3 player, but who the hell says that?! :P

Notebook is synnonymous to laptop isn't it? :S

[Recursion]

There is an actual difference, this page outlines them fairly well: http://www.homeofficebuddy.com/officecomputer/diff-notebook-laptop.shtml

But they are interchangable, MacBooks for example are called Notebooks but they don't fulfill the requirements to be one, so actualy they are laptops.

[CrazyColaist]

my iphone

[Gibs960]

Can I choose 2? Laptop and External hard-drive, who needs a phone when u can get it all for about £300, go to mcdonalds and get free internet, Wi-Fi :D

[Chippiewill]

I suppose the life-support machine hooked up to me I couldn't live without? Nah jks.

Mmm, I suppose I couldn't live without... the microwave, gotta have those soups.

I wasn't aware of the actual differences but this actually contradicts what I suggested unless they prize themselves on how light their MacBook is as this is seems to be the only real positive aspect of a notebook. Thanks for that info :)
