Are you someone who buys the new gadgets when they first come out? Do you always buy the new Ipods and Iphones? Are you someone who buys a new gadget even when it is just updated only a little from the last model? Most people by the time they can afford the old model a new model is already coming out. Have you ever bought something that was all the rage but by the time you did a new model just came out and you feel like you wasted your money? Are you a gadget/technology junkie?
I know people who do this and they spend soo much money buying gadgets they already have but buy the news ones just because something came out that is updated.

No, I usually wait for years before buying a new gadget. I love them, and wish I could buy everything when it comes out, but even if I could, I can't see buying a new one before the other wears out.

Im sure most people would love to buy everything when it first comes out. but I am like you, I usually do not get the popular stuff until quite a long time later. I just barely got an Ipod a few years ago and I'm glad I waited. But I got a great one with awesome features and tons of storage which I needed.

I am not a tech junkie but gadgets and all, these really interest me a lot. I love to see reviews on the internet, keep a track of things going, the updates and all. When i have saved enough money, i can go have something i wanted. :)
I don't buy something newer just coz it's upgraded, i don't like to waste money. Anyways, there is no end for the newer gadgets. Same with computers, they get old soon. BTW i don't like ipods and iphones. 
I like to get something better, they are neat but too hyped, at least i would say.

I can tell you this, I worked for Dell for many years and the theory on software programs was always wait six to eight months after their release. You'd think they would get the bugs out prior but they don't and usually fix the problems in good time. So as far as software goes never buy on first release

A person that is compelled to buy and use the latest gadgets and gizmos, wether they needs them or not can go for a gadget junkie.
I'll called them techno junkie as in one online dictionary defines.
I don't go for latest items, but some are really crazy with gadgets that they now found it difficult coping with their finances. Too bad...
