I have admitted I am a neophiliac which is the first step on the road to recovery. Of course I don’t want to recover, I love being addicted to technology, gadgets in particular. The Age has an article that details the Ten signs you’re tech obsessed, which sounds much nicer than calling you a neophiliac. The article is a real hoot with the detailed descriptions of the ten signs:
- You forget basic bodily functions
- You collect ridiculous accessories
- You check your email on Sunday… at 3 am
- You know your mates by their online handles rather than their real names
- Your favorite song goes "beep"
- Instead of laughing, you say "LOL"
- You answer your mobile phone when you’re on a date
- You change their outfits depending on their mood
- You own a BlackBerry
- You speak in a secret language
The article finishes with a list of real-life examples of those who have taken their tech addiction too far (you know who you are). Highly recommended.
