A
s a freelance copywriter, social media activist who also selling homecooking meals online, Glenn Marsalim is always within reach.
'As long as I'm awake, I'm always online. I have to be available for my clients, friends and family,' he said.
He said he always watched out for the latest features in communication technology, but preferred buying secondhand product.
'I don't have special budget to get new smartphone. It's a waste to spend a lot for the latest updates which come after another in a short time.'
His high mobility forced him to keep everything simple by bringing only three gadgets along whenever he left home.
Garmin watch
I wear the GPS running watch because it
has become a basic necessity for a runner. Now I can run anytime I feel
like to because the watch will record the distance, time, my pace -- all
measures I need to know to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Power bank
It have become more important to bring fully charged power bank around. You'd never know when you're going to need it.
Smartphone
My phone is my working tool. I enjoyed latest features that could make things easier. I'm always at lost if I left it behind.
My most expensive smartphone was priced at Rp 4 million (US$320). I used to have an iPad but I gave it to my mother because I didn't used it as much as I wanted.
I have the shortcuts to the mobile applications I use the most on my phone screen.
I use Path, Instagram and whatsapp for socializing and Klik BCA for bank transactions.
I'm a runner so I installed nike+ on the phone to keep my record.
