Post 3 - What's your favourite piece of technology?

Hello, my dear explorers! The post assignment for this week is: What is your favourite piece of technology? The idea is to develop a quite convincing argument about the piece of technology you personally think it makes your life easier or more confortable if you like.
Please, include:
  1. What it is
  2. When you got it
  3. How you use it.
  4. How often you use it
  5. Why you like it
  6. What life would be like without it
Posdata:
  1. Your post should have no less than 140 words
  2. include a picture
  3. leave a comment on three of your classmates' posts and another one on your teacher's post as well
To be perfectly honest, I am not the kind of person who is really into the latest technology advances. I do not really care about the latest smart mobile phones, TV screens, cars, or even washing machines, being advertised everywhere and everytime. But, I do not deny the fact that technology has changed our lives for better efficient ends. Personally, I do believe that computers with internet access have thoroughly revolutionised our trivial lives to make them more relevantly purposeful (irony). With a computer connected to the internet, I can basically manage and have access to everything I am interested in: mostly music and books.
My parents bought one in the late 90's. I remember that my sisters and I used to fight a lot for taking turns on it. Now, everyone has their own laptop.
I do not do any extraordinary things whenever I am on my laptop. Most of the time, I download tons of megabytes of music files, and, when I have to work, I spend long hours preparing classes and checking teaching material on the net. It is amazing how you can get all the information you need by 'one click'. I cannot imagine how, back in the day, students were able to find exactly what they were looking for among thousands and thousands of bookshelves. That must have been a time-consuming task for sure. Nowadays, there is Google, which provides you everything you want in a timely fashion.
For these simple reasons, I think that my favourite piece of technology - so to say - has to be a computer with an internet connection.

    Professor, I think the same as you about computers. I also consider that these without Internet are not useful for anything other than to make and save documents.
    Regards!!

Well, so I think this is the best chance I have to tell you about it. I liked writing poems at school, but I never dared go a step further.
