I have a blackberry and that takes up enough of my precious time in emails, facebook alerts, twitters and sms... so no thanks, i will not convert completely, and i will NEVER give up my glossys... love from your faithful mag hag and self-professed glossy addict... xxSachaStrebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065006856059751064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413869472011551.post-1279349940585564552010-02-05T10:20:53.799+11:002010-02-05T10:20:53.799+11:00I am a bit over this constant dawning and idolisat...I am a bit over this constant dawning and idolisation of anything and everything Mac brings out. I will not be buying one of these or a Kindle or anything else. I do have an iPhone instead of a home computer and that's enough for me. Nothing can replace the smell and feel of a book to my mind and i refuse to read electronically.NatWebsternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413869472011551.post-46108913941553453522010-02-05T00:01:22.946+11:002010-02-05T00:01:22.946+11:00It looks great but dont see myself ever buying itIt looks great but dont see myself ever buying itchildrens jewelleryhttp://www.joforgirls.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413869472011551.post-59783662342481557332010-02-04T20:51:50.911+11:002010-02-04T20:51:50.911+11:00Good post, nice blog.

I did second-guess this before posting - clearly more research would need to be done looking into tech vs paper carbon footprint.Erica Bartle (nee Holburn)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03115131016810116605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413869472011551.post-63130275363560616812010-02-04T14:32:36.145+11:002010-02-04T14:32:36.145+11:00I have an issue with your claim that electronic te...I have an issue with your claim that electronic technology is better for the environment than paper. If you look at the research out there, paper leaves less of a carbon footprint than its electronic counterpart. Plus, paper is a renewable resource.

However with any so-called "advancements" and "progressions" in technology I'm always very cautious. <br /><br /> You've written so eloquently precisely how I feel. We already live in such a disconnected world, we want everything yesterday, it needs to be at our fingertips. Convenience, convenience, convenience. Whether it be food, books, or conversation. We've got more technology than you can poke a stick at, more information, yet we're sicker, fatter and more disconnected with ourselves and our planet than ever before!<br /><br /> As you pointed out the "real" things can't ever be replicated ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the great post!justinehttp://www.empoweredbeginnings.comnoreply@blogger.com
