Top 5 - Once you have it, you can never go back

My top 5 - things that once you have it, it's hard to live without it...

5. Car stereo controls on the steering wheel: Nothing beats changing stations with a flick of your finger without taking your hand off the wheel. Ahh, convenience. 

4. Digital Cameras: Back in my freshman year of high school I took introduction to photography. We used regular cameras, learned how to add some cool effects in the dark room and develop film. It was a good experience but the dark room was too chemically for my liking and if you messed up on developing the picture, you wasted a whole sheet of photo paper. Give me a digital camera, a computer with photo editing software and a printer any day.

3. Caller ID: It increases the likelihood that I'll answer the phone when you call by 90%.

2. Cell phone alarm clocks: It's saved me on those mornings when there was a power outtage or when I forgot to change the time for daylight savings. It's also really handy when travelling when you never know what kind of alarm clock you'll get or when the hotel wake-up call is 5 minutes late. 

1. GPS & Google Maps Street View: These two go hand in hand. The GPS can get me wherever I need to go and street view maps will show me what I should expect to see when I get there. It reduces stress and frustration when you don't know where you are and saves you gas when you don't have to drive in circles to figure out where you are.
