I love modern technology. In fact, I think I can't imagine anyone less interested in tech, gadgets, computing, softwares, AI even (I have a few ongoing artificial intelligence projects) than myself. I tend to get really attached to my good devices though - laptop, phone, tablet. In the past several years, I have always undergone quite a process when a computer died, for example. Or when it was just overdue to upgrade a device.

I am reflecting on all this today because I just got a new phone today. I love it, have already set up the essential functions on it, and am experimenting with the new ones. I don't know why though, the image of my old phone (that I left in the store all wiped out) haunts me. It has nothing to do with functions - my new device already has the same functions (they were transferred virtually) and more. Only some strange feelings for a machine that I had just abandoned...
