Would you rather be able to do everything with one thing? Say, listen to music, take pictures, play, work and whatever with one device? Or would you rather have a specific device for listening to music, a specific device for taking pictures, a specific device for work and another one to play and such?

I personally prefer to keep things separate these days. On a practical level it means that I don’t depend entirely on a single object and that, if gets lost, damaged or runs out of battery, would let me with nothing at all. On a subjective level, I feel that having specialized objects for each need gives more weight to the routines I create with them, contrary to when I kept everything in one place and it felt superfluous and banal.

So far I have an old phone that I use as an MP3 player, an old tablet as an EBook, my old Ps2 to play games and so on.

    I sorta do the one thing for everything and that is my laptop but on the other hand I picked up a steamdeck and im really liking having a separate device just for gaming and I have a fire tv stick and that is handy to not have to run a hdmi from my laptop. So like I would want a one and done but realistically I have to use a few things.
