For a techno junkie, I have very few cool gadgets. My computer is my god and I would quickly go insane without it. You wouldn't know it by looking at my dinosaur monitor & keyboard, but this beast was built just for me and has been re-built several times when it has given me grief (thanks to a techno god friend). I don't own a cell phone, and I am perhaps the last person on earth without one. I'll buy one someday, but couldn't care less at this point in time. Call Display is another matter entirely. It allows me to see who I am ignoring when the phone rings... If I talk to you on the phone, chances are, I called you, or I was specifically expecting your call. I do spend a fair bit of time on the phone, but this is limited to long distance calls to a very short list of people that I enjoy yakking at on the fly. Chances are, your not on that list, so, leave a message and I'll get back to you if I feel like it. I do check my messages...about twice a month. If you require a speedier response, e-mail me or leave a comment on the 'ole blog...to which I am capable of break neck speed responses!
This is my brain. If you are not written into the pages of this leather bound god, then I will not remember you or whatever it is you required me to do or where it is you desired me to be. When I run out of pages, I will go high tech. Maybe I'll get a cell phone combo and kill two birds with one stone. Who knows.
I spend as little time as possible in the kitchen, but I do have a few must have gadgets (less the microwave and coffee maker). I despise normal can openers, and their electric cousins; this here little gadget holds onto the can's lid until you release it into the trash can. It is sheer brilliance and the person who invented it deserves a medal or their own tropical island or something. 
Kitchen sheers. I did not know that such a handy gadget existed until I lived on my own. My parents still have no concept that such a marvel exist!
I am of the personal opinion that it should be illegal to own a cat without also owning one of these: It's called a "Love Glove" and it is pure magic when it comes to de-hairing hairy ones, so as to not have a house covered with hair. I rest my case. Does this qualify as a gadget?
And last, but not least...oh no, not least...I saved the best for last...my Canon Elph. The only camera I have ever owned that I have not worn out in eleven months flat! Fits in my pocket. Takes video. Has taken over 20,000 pictures and shows no hint of wearing out! So, when it comes to taking pictures on the run, as apposed to planned events that require a professional grade god (yep, still referring to cameras here), this is, by far, a parent's bestest friend!
