Could You Live Without These?

I recently read an article in the Young Adult Library Services Asociation Magazine(Winter 2007) about the "Top Ten Gadgets" teens can't live without. Here is the list:
1. Computer
2. Cell phone
3. iPod/MP3 player
4. Digital camera
5. Game systems (Nintendo, PS2, Xbox etc.)
6. Flash drive
7. Television
8. TiVo
9. DVD player
10. Microwave
Do you agree? Would you change the order of this list? Would you remove one? Add a new one? What is the one piece of technology that you could not live without? Could you go one week without using any of the items on the list? One day? Think about it!

March is Here!

Brrrrrrrrr! It is so cold today! March has certainly come in like a lion, will it go out like a lamb? Stay tuned! March is such a long month. There are no holidays and many are anxious for spring. Daylight Saving time begins early this year so don't forget to move your clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night 3/10-Sunday morning3/11! National Pig Day is on March 1 and Dr. Seuss' birthday is March 2. I tend to believe that everyone has read at least one Dr. Seuss book in his or her lifetime! Have you? Do you have a favorite? My favorite is "Green Eggs and Ham." Girl Scout Day is March 12, first day of spring is March 21, Saint Patrick's Day is March 17 and Bunsen Burner Day is March 31! Did you know that March is National Women's History Month, National Craft Month, Music in Our Schools Month and National Nutrition Month? Maybe the month won't last so long afterall!
