Technology: It's Now an Accessory

            As a geek I am sure you are aware that gadgets have also become a part of your appearance. How often is it that you see someone without, as just an example, their phone? It happens so infrequently that such an experience is almost non-existent.

            For this post I will only focus on cellular devices, for the simple reason that adding anymore items to a list involving modern day gadgets would simply be too long and confusing, and truly wouldn’t even help the point get across.

            Truly there are only two ways to go when it comes to making your devices match your personality and fashion statements.

Numero Uno: Old school!

Old school is yes, completely bothersome to anyone who has upgraded and then gone back to their old phone, as I myself can attest. Going from an android to an old Cingular razor makes the phone feel decidedly tedious. But the good news is that you get so many props for rocking the old school razor that it really doesn’t even matter! Plus, if you don’t even use apps and really just need a device for calls and texting then why pay hundreds of dollars on a smart phone? See? Solving budget issues can be fun! But be aware that not all old school phones are cool. Get something that is actual quality and will hold up, not a clunky piece of junk that looks like you carved it out of a piece of clay.

Numero Dos: Oh my goodness, you’re so fancy!

Having a nice big shiny phone with that fancy screen protector is automatic points towards your awesome meter. The thoughts that most people have are “That person knows what’s up. Props for the totally awesome phone.” Also you get that moment of satisfaction when you know people see you using Siri and you can just feel that pang of jealousy emulating from their every pore. Drink in their jealousy, it is a beautiful thing.

Now one thing that should be remembered for whatever device you rock: make it your own. That’s why cases and sharpies were invented.

Summary: Technology rocks, make it complete your appearance and boost that awesome meter.
