Do you own or wear any of the following ?

I own a cell phone, but I don't use it and I never wore it.

WOW : So far, 8 out of 9 wear glasses. Surely that's not a global trend !??

**Wicksy: I wonder if the fact that everyone here uses a computer has anything to do with it?

daver : it could well do.

wear glasses.. own contact lenses, but they were a hassle so I stopped. I own a Laptop, but I have a carry case with a shoulder strap so I guess it falls into both categories.

Is there some connection between eye correction and gadgets?

The only gadget I carry with me at all times is my Gameboy.

I ought to be wearing glasses and I will soon have a mobile phone. What do these things have to do with one another?

Because I read a research article in an English newspaper which stated that a higher percentage of contact lense/glasses owners own these gadgets than people who have adequate eye sight.

I wear glasses, and carry a cell phone and pager. the cell phone is mine, the pager belongs to the slave drivers that provide my paycheck twice a month.

Maybe a higher percentage of people who own those gadgets need to have eyglasses due to the fine print of instruction manuals. Correlation does not imply the direction of causation.

whoops, I forgot I owned a cell phone. I used to own a laptop, but gave it away. That leaves the glasses and pager as items I actually ever use.

I consider mobile and car phones to be useless except for businesspeople as well as people going on very long car drives. Pagers are more logical, although personally I would hate to have to wear one.

Car phones can also be used as an emergency equipment item - in case the car breaks down. This is very important in many areas of the world. It can mean life or death in some colder areas, even for relatively short drives, for older or impaired people.

North79: A mobile phoneis useful if you have friends.

I own a cellphone but don't carry it; I sometimes carry a laptop but don't own it.

Glasses and a car phone.. I only use my glasses to drive at night.

I have a pager so I can always be reached no matter where I am in this world and when I am not home my friends and family can still get in touch with me

i also wear a dog collar at times

I own a pager but don't wear or use it....
