For me, there are few things that beat the arrival of a new
gadget. It is the adult version of the ‘kid at Christmas’ feeling. Boxed, clean
and shiny they arrive glinting at future promise.
I particularly enjoy peeling the clear plastic from the
screen and untwining the charger, half-heartedly flicking through the
instructions and then abandoning them to admire the finger-print and
scratch-free casing of my new toy.
The first power on is arguably the greatest moment of all.
The blink blink flash of a new welcome screen, logo and intro on display and
the heady rush of trying to look at every menu, every application, every
function at once.
But all too soon that new gadget feeling wears off, the
shine dulls, the wear and tear emerges and the guilty mind cannot help but plan
what the next new gadget will be.
