I currently use Ubuntu Linux on a standalone laptop - it has no Internet connection. I occasionally carry flash memory drives between this machine and the Macs that I use for network surfing and graphics but I trust my family jewels only to Linux.

Advancements in technology have become so commonplace that sometimes we forget to stop and think about how incredible it is that a girl on her laptop in Texas can see photos and cell phone video in real time that a young college student has posted of a rally he's at in Iran.

Growing up I wish that I'd had the supplies and laptops and all the new technology that's out right now.

Second we're spending a huge amount of money on technology so that everyone can check out laptops and portable phones. We're spending more money to write our existing information into databases or onto CD-ROM.

I use many different gadgets connected with computers I use PCs laptops and a Palm Pilot. I also use the Internet to visit websites especially within Polish-language Internet. I usually go to political discussion groups and sites - of course as I use my real name people never believe that they are chatting with me!

Sometimes when my wife and I were going out to dinner I would take my laptop with me and work in the car so as to take advantage of the half hour going and coming.

In terms of the technology I use the most it's probably a tie between my Blackberry and my MacBook Pro laptop. That's how I communicate with the rest of the world and how I handle all the business I have to handle.
