How "with it" are you?

[Battleaxx90]

I know my way around technology, but I don't have a Twitter and I never use my Facebook. Don't get me wrong, if I wanted to, I COULD figure them out and use 'em, but personally, I don't wanna. Why? I'unno. Too lazy, I guess.

Also, this thread's asking us if we're "with it". I can't believe nobody's done this joke yet, but here goes...


...yeah, that was the best quality one I could find. Deal with it.

Due to the engineer in me, everything in my flat is wired. Wireless just means another thing to go wrong, plus there is a small delay between actions.

This. I just bought a new PC with a wireless keyboard and I'm already figuring out how to go around its major flaws at recognizing what i want to type. I have to place it in the very edge of my desk, otherwise it will go completely crazy and delay about 5 seconds every 5th key I press. Except for console' controls, I kinda hate everything wireless, since it seems to never work out the way I intended it to do.

PS: I have a Facebook, email in gmail and hotmail. I guess that's it, and I'm fine with that.

 

[RussetRanger]

No Facebook (or MySpace)
No Twitter
Have a Skype (but I barely use it)
Have a Smartphone (which I regret getting)

Not very "with it".

 

[cyber95]

I am permanently attached to tumblr.
I have facebook and twitter but I don't use them, really, except Facebook sometimes when I need to send somebody a message.

I don't have facebook or twitter, and I'm not planning to get either, no matter how much people bug me to do so. It's much easier to talk to friends with MSN or Skype. I have an iphone, but the actual phone part is seldom used. I guess I'm more with out it.

 

[RandallJohn]

Seems I'm in the minority. I've got a G+, a facebook and a Twitter, and am rather active on all of em'.

The use of Facebook and Twitter don't make you somehow more technologically adept

At what point did I say that this was or wasn't the case? The thing is most people are on one or both, so being with it would include social networking sites.

 

[DanielBrown]

Clueless. I get most of my info from this site to be honest.
Never been intrested in getting either Facebook or Twitter.

 

[Casual Shinji]

No Facebook or Twitter.

... I don't even have a cellphone.

 

[lRookiel]

THESE KIDS NOWADAYS! TREADING ON MY LAWN! ETC, ETC, ETC.

I do have a facebook profile, but I only use it on the occasion, this site is as social as I get really.

However I'm not a techno-tard, I do know how to use technology for the most part.


EDIT: By the way OP, I fucking love your avatar, it does make me giggle X)

 

[Summerstorm]

Eh, no Facebook, no Twitter, nothing; VERY rarely use skype or Teamspeak. I've got no cellphone. I had a standard "cool" homepage... like 8 years back, where i published my own Flash-Cartoons (Which were terribad *g*)

So i am not connected. Googling my own name will find a few short stories and Pen & Paper Role playing games i wrote, and a tiny mentioning of a school i used to go to. Googling my Username will find mostly just forum threads (also a german gay sport movie... i happen to share the name with - mine is older)

Funny thing: My current job is providing technical support for a german ISP. Also i studied computer sciences. I just don't like to have my name and loads of data about me on the Internet.

Minimize exposure.

 

[loc978]

I've summarily rejected most new trends in communications and entertainment technology. I'm still a tech-head, I can puzzle out how to work most anything (though I hate all touch-screens with the burning fire of a thousand suns), and I can still build computers and repair electronics... most recently a late-model washing machine with a fried control board...

But am I "with it"? No. Deleted my Facebook account when I started being stalked by some people I never wanted to see again from high school, never was interested in a Twitter account, despise "smart" phones with their ridiculously short battery life and buggy OSes (not to mention the aforementioned hated input device). Still don't trust wireless networking very far, though I use it for my laptop, speaking of my laptop, it's my smallest portable music player... I can't be distracted by music in my line of work.

Hm... what else? Oh yeah, I prefer to have hard copies of my games. What can I say, I'm kind of a bitter old man at 31. Damn kids with their easily breakable gadgets that have incredibly limited input options...

 

[FatalFox]

I chat with friends, and update progress on different projects on facebook, and I hang with my gaming websites and when the newest episode of a certain cartoon comes up (guess which) on twitter. I'm up to date with most gaming sites I follow, that's basically it for social network over the browser for me.

[edit:]
oh, and I also have an iphone-4 where I have the facebook app and twitter app to follow up on things on the go, it's a simple way to do it instead of checking all my gaming websites constantly, and chatting on the go too, with people overseas.
In other words, my dataroaming internet service have paid off well

[edit2:]
As far as technological adaptive goes I can say I'm at a fair level, I can model and texture in 3ds max and lightly program things into unreal development kit (still studying the subjects).
I am building my first computer next month, and find the tutorial videos surprisingly easy to follow, I can say I'm pretty technologically adept even though I need to fiddle with some things to get them working.

 

[babinro]

I'm completely out of it.

I've yet to use a cell phone in my life. I don't know how to post an avatar on this site, a video, an image, or do that hidden text thing.

I don't follow the news because whenever I try to it's constantly about death and bloodshed.

I've used facebook casually, but no other social network tool like twitter.

I don't give in to new technology with exception of gaming consoles. I still don't own a blue ray movie despite having a PS3 for years now. I've no plans to ever get anything 3D or Blue Ray unless it simply becomes the only option (I prefer DVD's as they are much cheaper).

 

[GamerAddict7796]

I've got a FaceBook, which I never use, a mobile, which I lost for 2 months without notcing and an iPod Nano my dad got for free in a mobile phone contract deal.

My friends think I am the most backwards person alive!

 

[dragonsshunter]

I have a facebook and never use the damn thing and usually go out of my way to avoid using it at all cost. i do have a twitter that i use but other than that its usually just long distance friends i talk to through that.

 

[Optiluiz]

I have a facebook that I use to promote my blog and chat with old friends in Canada. That's it. I dislike twitter, and I'm not really a big fan of facebook either.

 

[TheIronRuler]

It seems these days if you aren't connected to twitter and/or facebook constantly with your Irange you might as well be a caveman figuring out fire hurts.

Are you easily able to connect your fridge to the net to order food as you take it out or are you like me and still can't connect an Ipod to Wifi?

Are you still using wires like an 80 year old or if there is so much as a charging cable in sight you flip out?

.
I got a skype account and speak with my friends regularly. That's pretty much it, and I enjoy every moment of our delightful free conversations.

 

[GundamSentinel]

I have a Facebook, I hate it and hardly use it. If people want to talk to me, they can call me or come over. Fuck modern technology right in its cutting edge.

 

[kasperbbs]

Skype and my phone is enough, i don't need everyone knowing what i do 24/7 and i'm not that interested in what my friends do either, leaves something to talk about when we meet.
