How many wires are you carrying?

Following yesterday's craze, I started to seriously think about taking pictures daily. No matter what I use - cell phone, or a digital camera, I am facing a problem: If I want to upload pictures on the go, how many damn wires am I gonna carry?



So let's see. Currently I already have the following wires/cables in my backpack:

- A laptop power cord
- A power cord extension cord (because the above item is just not long enough)
- A mouse (you get tired of the trackpoint at some point)
- An Ethernet cable (wireless in BA sucks)
- Cell phone headset
- ipod earphones

- Camera/(optional)phone USB cord....

So this is it. In addition to the 10 pound textbooks I have (and the coins in my wallet), I need to carry these lovelies around. We are so bound to the electronics and their accessories that they are invisibly, subtly and powerfully tying us up, not talking about the added burdens to our young shoulders.



Untie me!!

Oh! I can certainly do that with my cell phone - it's 2mp - not too bad eh.
Was thinking it's impossible for my 5 Mega pixel camera though :p
