OBOZAVAM SADASNJE vreme i ne bih htela da zivim ni u jednom drugom. Uzivam posmatrajuci kako se sve ono sto je osamdesetih nastalo u nekoj osnovnoj, integralnoj verziji sada rascvetava u svojoj punoj upotrebi. Nije to pitanje samog sakupljanja ili posedovanja novotarija. Cak i tu rec gedzeti BAS ne ljubim i cim smislim neku novu, ova leti. Kada prikupim neku kolicinu svojih favorita na gomilu shvatim sta im je zajednicka crta.

Ovoga puta, osim sto je, ocigledno, u pitanju izbor belih stvarcica, zajednicko im je to da svi imaju nekakvu dusu. Oni ne samo da olaksavaju svakodnevno funkcionisanje nego i znacajno razvedravaju dan. I na kraju, zbog svojih gabarita i namene zgodno ih je nositi sa sobom, pa ih je tako i lako usvojiti kao kucne ljubimce. Sve je pocelo sa Tamagochijem, ali je to otislo daleko i na razlicite strane. Pocinjemo i zavrsavamo sa tastaturom. Uzivajte!

I LOVE PRESENT time and wouldn't want to live any time else. I enjoy watching all those basic tech things from 80's making it into their full bloom as we speak. It is absolutely not about collecting something or possessing all the novelties. For start, I SO dislike this word - gadget. If I think of another all replace it right away. Anyway, only when some kind of a small wish list of mine gathers spontaneously over a period of time that's when I realize what's the thing that 's linking them.

This time, besides the obvious and ephemeral, the appearance, they're all white, all these thingies have some kind of a soul. Not only they make it easier but they lighten up the day. And finally, because of their features, usability and size, they're easy to carry around and bond to, like they're some kind of pets or something... It all started with Tamagotchi, but it went very far and in various directions, and here we are. So enjoy!
