PLEASE ACCEPT our condolences. It's not your fault you were born in the middle of a digital renaissance. Impossibly cool and eminently useful devices—like, say, a hybrid MP3 player/digicam/PDA—are everywhere, stretching to the horizon like a glittering, 256-color ocean. Your only recourse? Embrace the tech—and all the great data it serves up.

So hoist that analog anchor and set sail. The digital world has never been so ripe for exploration.
