| 11 | iPad |
As a member of this proud race of bridge champions, steam engine enthusiasts and parents who don't know when to slap their children, there is much I need to know to stay relevant to my upper-middle-class social circle. The iPad is thicker, heavier and more expensive than the newspaper, but Louis Vuitton doesn't make a $700 leather case for the New York Times crossword I pretend to fill out on the subway.
| 10 | Apple TV |
I could buy a cheap cable and hook up my computer to the television, but this is one lady who never takes the easy way out (and that includes learning how to use a laptop). Since I can’t find WebTV in stores anymore, I use the Apple TV box to watch Mystic Pizza on Netflix and pay 99 cents each for all 11,500 episodes of Days of Our Lives.
