How often do you replace technical devices, gadgets and appliances?

[Torsten]

Hi, how often do you purchase a new technical devices and gadgets such as computers, laptops, mobile phones, TV sets, DVD and MP3 players, etc.? Are you a person who always wants the latest in technology and therefore replaces their devices on a regular basis or do you tend to use your machines until they wear out or fall apart?

I use the gadgets while they are usable, unless the new version with revolutionary changes comes out

Hi Torsten

I use devices and gadgets until they die or are no longer compatible with anything else.

From all the items enumerated(listed) above, I often change mobile phones to the latest ones (mobile technologies develop rapidly nowadays). That is my weakness. I can change other devices only in case they go wrong.

I have a tendency of placing them with the new ones even when they are repairable. I just replaced my ipod with a gigabeat and my friends were like apparently they think ipod is classier.

I guess I get tired easily and just making excuses for a new one. If I were not a student and had all the money in the world, I think I would certainly buy buy buy!

p.s. my attitude differs towards certain things, for example, I still use the same purse for 8 years now but I have like 5 eyeglasses but gadgets are cool stuffs, so...
