We live in a 'disposable' world

most things we have these days are either disposable or cheap.
nappies
contact lenses
bottles no longer glass returnable but plastic throw away.
mobile phones even, buy a cheap PAYGO get rid when bored.
PC's not really meant to last that long as upgraded all singing and dancing ones come on the market constantly..what do you do with the old one?? well throw it away Personally I'd rather wipe mine to factory settings and give it to a worthy cause but seeing as my lappy is now nearly 7 yrs old even worthy causes wouldn't want it.

Clothes... fashion makes it a throwable world. Unless you buy good and classic.

Internet identities ..bored with that one lets have a new one ..
e-mail addies I read somewhere " I use a disposable e-mail address" ...well I never gave that a thought when I first hit the internet ...Use different addies for different sites ???
Cor don't that take up soooo much precious time checking them and remembering which belongs to what and don't go into passwords ....

BUT
the one thing that used to be "not needed" that you can't live with-out today is a credit card. Anything 'bought' on-line needs one and too get one you need ID.
I will admit you can be on-line on free sites with using one. (not if you are answering to this. ) Hold fire you say yes you can as you can now pay by cheque ...yes but to do that you have to have ID for the bank so you may aswell have a credit card (they do issue you them no matter what really)

Cor can't ya tell it's hot here and I am bored. lol
