Since economic times are getting more difficult, what electronics or technology would you eliminate to save money? For example, cutting back on cellphone use, cable service, satellite radio, video games, internet usage, etc. Give a brief reason why you picked that item.

I'm a new driver and my parents won't let me go anywhere without a cell phone for safety reasons. We have cut back on cable tv and we are also considering completely eliminating our home phone since my mom, dad, sister and I all have cell phones. Another thing we're doing is just trying to be conscience of simple things like turning off the lights, turning down the thermostat, using less hot water and car pooling. Haven't seen a huge difference yet but it's kind of taking the financial edge off. We can't eliminate our internet because I'm taking online classes and also do most of my work over the internet. We also haven't blown any money on video game systems and new games. We also got rid of one of our music programs since we were paying for two separate ones for our downloads.
