Have you ever wondered if gadgets are more about “fun” rather than “fun-tionality?” This occurred to me today as I was showing off my new iPod nano to someone and they mentioned that it seems like most of the gadgets I own are more fun than functionality.

That really struck me. Am I simply a gadget addict hooked on the need to consistently be plugged in? Eh, perhaps so. But as addictions go, this one is a lot of fun! I mean, is it all that harmful to spend our free time and money on the latest gadget if it proves to be entertaining? I think not.

So, what’s your story? Do you think that we have crossed the line as a society when considering fun and functionality? Do we just buy stuff simply to “be cool?” I am interested in your thoughts; shoot me off an email at the link above.
