An ecologist and a computer

I am not really interested in technology: I don’t need acquiring the last technological innovation. Indeed, I content myself with what I already have. My way of living is quite simple and, as far as possible, ecologic.
Nevertheless, in this case, I must choose “my favorite piece of technology”: hard task in so far as I use few technological objects.
But I would say that my notebook is the piece of technology I could not live without. I got it a year ago, just before leaving France. I use it for many activities, and spend much time on it, everyday. Its main function is communication: I use internet to communicate with my family and friends of France, but also of Chile, to organize activities for instance. This is a really convenient object. Besides, I use my notebook to study: I use it to make researches on internet, to write essays. Finally, my notebook is for me as a permanent and free newspaper. Indeed, everyday, I have a look at the French, Chilean and British newspapers online, to be aware of what is happening out of Santiago.
For all these indispensable functions, I am happy of being in possession of this notebook. Consequently, I cannot deny that my life without it would be … I do not know how to qualify it, but there would be a sort of emptiness.

If I had it, I would have better chose another piece of technology, but I could not have answered to all the questions. It is a piece of technology – of ecodesign to be precise – aimed at doing compost. I hope I have it next year!
