Just because the rest of the world like these things, doesn't mean I have to. From your list, I have to say I'm not fond of most things... except perhaps computers and remote controls. Jet air travel sucks enormously for environmental reasons and also because I've spent too much time in O'Hare airport. Cells phones are an annoyance.
