Has Technology Eliminated the Need for PDAs?

I came upon a realization the other day that technology may have eliminated the need for the PDA, and no, I'm not talking about public displays of affection.

It's the Season for Personal Air Conditioners

Personal air conditioners are superb inventions. Using a full size air conditioner is great, except that it eats energy, makes your electric bill rise through the roof and you cannot take it with you when you go out in the heat. Fans are also a great option, but when it is so hot outside the pavement is melting, fans just seem to circulating hot air. How can you beat the heat? Personal air conditioners come to the rescue.

The other day at the playground, I watched as what looked like a 5-year-old girl answered a cell phone call from her grandmother. No, it wasn't her mom or dad's cell phone she was using -- it was her own. Which raised the question -- are kindergartners too young to have their own cell phones? The answer may surprise you.

The Flat Screen Television is More Affordable Than Ever

Ever since I stayed in a hotel suite with a flat screen television, I've wanted nothing more than to have one mounted right above my fireplace.
