1. Computer and Internet both. Without these I would have not found my lovely Wife. We both were working people who signed up and met through Yahoo Personals.

2. iPod. I remember carrying around cassettes, CDs, and yes 8 track tapes to play in my vehicles.

3. GPS... One other excuse to not have to stop and ask for directions. "Honey I don't need to stop and ask for directions... The GPS will get us there.

4. Up To The Minute Weather. As someone who is in aviation, it is very important that I know the weather conditions before allowing students and renters, and myself to go flying. In 1987 the first weather computer came to the airport that was satellite based. Weather was posted hourly. Now with automation I can get weather reports every minute from my destination airport or an airport near by that has the appropriate weather equipment.

5. Powerbooks - Who knew I would have so much fun with a portable computer.

6. Online Shopping
7. Online Entertainment
8. Digital Movies and Shows. I can carry all the episodes of Coupling with me wherever I go.
