I don't own a TV and after a month with an iPhone, I passed it off to a co-worker and bought a $15 phone off Craiglist. When I'm not on the computer I want to be fully enjoying the people I'm with, the mountain I'm hiking or the book I'm absorbed in -- not fighting distraction from a computer in my pocket or a TV playing in the background. My passion for technology wouldn't be worth much if it didn't benefit from the inspiration and energy I get from the rest of life. But, each to his own. I don't judge people just because their tastes are different, or because they have more willpower than I (and can thus keep all the latest gadgets around without getting distracted).
