sophiaserpentiaWell, let's see what the results of yesterday's poll point to.
The devices that appear to be the most essential to those who have them are:
Broadband internet
Portable digital music player
CD player
About 50-60% of people who have these consider them essential.
The next tier included:
TiVo
DVD player
PDA
cable/satellite TV
About 20-25% of people who have these consider them essential.
Cordless phones/cell phones, digital cameras, and CD burners were only considered essential by about 10% of those who have them. WRT phones, that is an interesting result. Are people not so happy with being accessible everywhere they go?
26% of the people who responded said they could do without any of these devices. I suppose perhaps many of you are, like me, actually old enough to remember life before these wonders came along.

Schoolwork in the Internet Age

Trying to figure out how to cite a transcript in the library of Congress accessed in image-form via their website can take a while.
