  • 0:14 - 0:18
    I love technology, I enjoy reading about new gadgets
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    and I spend a lot of money on technology.
  • 0:21 - 0:25
    I couldn’t live without my mobile phone because I plan my life with it,
  • 0:25 - 0:29
    or without my mp3 player because I love listening to music.
  • 0:29 - 0:33
    How about you? How do you feel about technology?
  • 0:33 - 0:34

    I love technology.
  • 0:34 - 0:37

    For what I do I’m probably quite a technophobe
  • 0:37 - 0:41
    because I’m a designer so I have to use a computer every day
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    and I only learnt how to use a computer when I was nineteen.
  • 0:43 - 0:52

    I love technology, I love computers and I love Twitter and I love mobile phones, I love it, I love technology.
  • 0:52 - 0:57

    I’ve got lots of gadgets, I wouldn’t know what to do without my laptop.
  • 0:57 - 1:01

    I hate technology, I find it frightening and disturbing.
  • 1:01 - 1:03

    I use technology because I have to.
  • 1:03 - 1:05

    I am definitely not a technophobe.
  • 1:05 - 1:10
    I have learned to love technology very much though in my job.
  • 1:10 - 1:13

    I love technology, a lot.
  • 1:13 - 1:18
    You know, everything about it, like new gadgets, you know, computers things like that.
  • 1:18 - 1:20

    I have a mobile phone,
  • 1:20 - 1:24
    I do have an i-pod but I’m probably the only person I know that doesn’t own my own computer.
  • 1:24 - 1:30

    Oh no I have nearly every sort of latest gadget as it comes out.
  • 1:30 - 1:33

    What items of technology do you have with you at the moment?
  • 1:33 - 1:36

    I’ve got my mobile phone in my pocket,
  • 1:36 - 1:39
    and my laptop is just in my filing cabinet in the office over there.
  • 1:39 - 1:44

    I have my mobile phone with me and my mobile phone is connected to Twitter.
  • 1:44 - 1:47

    I have an i-pod, but it’s not charged, so that’s why I’m not using it.
  • 1:47 - 1:49

    On me at the moment I just have my mobile, that’s all.
  • 1:49 - 1:54

    At the moment I have my mobile phone on me and mp3 player.
  • 1:54 - 1:55

    My laptop.
  • 1:55 - 1:58

    Just my mobile, but I have two.
  • 1:58 - 2:08

    An e-book reader, and a laptop, and an i-pod and so, lots and lots of gadgets.
  • 2:08 - 2:12

    Are there any items of technology you couldn’t live without?
  • 2:12 - 2:15

    I couldn’t live without my computer. Why not?
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    Because I’m on it all the time. It broke down once for three weeks,
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    and I felt like my husband had left me, and I’m not even married,
  • 2:20 - 2:24
    I was devastated, so no I couldn’t live without my computer.
  • 2:24 - 2:28

    I couldn’t live without my laptop, I could probably live without my phone,
  • 2:28 - 2:32
    I quite like leaving it turned off for a while, but the laptop is essential.
  • 2:32 - 2:40

    I really couldn’t live without my i-pod, my mobile phone of course and computer,
  • 2:40 - 2:43
    yeh, everyone needs a computer nowadays.
  • 2:43 - 2:46

    My phone, I think beyond that, I don’t need anything else.
  • 2:46 - 2:49

    I think my mobile phone would be the only one and maybe the TV.
  • 2:49 - 2:52

    I don’t think I could live without my mobile phone,
  • 2:52 - 2:54
    and I couldn’t live without the computer,
  • 2:54 - 2:59
    and I couldn’t live without the Internet, because I depend on them.
