I agree with the speak who loves new technology (the man in the history).
I always love modern technology because I have been working on NT (new information technologies) since 1995.
Nowadays new technologies are important in our lives because all our things are based on these. In our homes all we have are new technology: the last TV with DTT, mobile phone, HDD, -censured- (or others to listen music), DVD, one or more computers with ADSL... if one day we haven't Internet connection our life is like a chaos.
Nowadays we used to use this new technology because: are quickly communications systems, we can find some information only with a click, we can know the last news every minute, we can talk with someone in order to give an important advice (or simply to talk)...
I really think we are living in a very important moment, a technological moment.
