Default Technology?

Just name one thing that you use on a daily basis and you thank the technology behind it for making it possible?


for me its the ATM (debit/credit) card life has become easier and simpler and safer with the use of these cards

Electricity ;-)

There is more than you release behind the generation and distribution of electricity. We would be in the dark without it, and there would be no internet :shock:

My favourite gadget though is the TV remote control. I can change channel without having to leave my seat, and my beer

Great Question :!:

The Telephone is my answer, we would be lost without it :-?

I also love the ATM as it means that I dont have to enter the bank. I just dont like the atmosphere in banks, they seem so stuffy and I always feel under observation in there.

Only in the summer??? I cycle all year round (except in strong winds & pouring rain). Then again, I don't have far to go (8km) although I do climb hills all the way home. Plus it doesn't snow in Wollongong. ;-)

The internet, I'd be lost without it. It lets me work play and rest

I think it may just catch on as well :!:
