In this generation, there are so many different types of technology out.My favorite would have to be my laptop.I know it's not an Ipod or an Iphone, but I like it much better than anything else I have.It does all the same stuff that an Ipod does; it plays music, you can browse the web, you can use skype or oovoo.There are different ways you can communicate with your friends besides your phone or Ipod.I find that a laptop just puts all of those things in one.
