What EQUIPMENT is most useful to you? (NOT the computer, NOT the cellphone)

This question shook me off my seat when i heard this addressed to me in one of the interviews I had lately. I was left with no other option at the time I was asked that.I would've answered:: my computer or my cellphone,but it was discouraged.

Hmmmm back to basics then,eh? Scribbling down being one of my fave past time,when not in front of the computer, I gave a quick reply: my BALLPEN and my PENCIL! Why? was the follow-up.. Oh, well, even with the uprise of technology these days, we still NEED a ballpen and a pencil--almost anytime and anywhere we go..Simply TO WRITE DOWN WHAT WE NEED TO remember or sign on something we need to agree on or to simply express ourselves! brrrr. a VERY simple question! For me at that time,the level of difficulty in answering was a real bummer. I banged my head on the wall after that interview. My mind was too complicated to answer that very simple question!

But as I look back now on how i answered with my ballpen and my pencil as the most useful equipment to me which aint the pc or the cp...I guess I did well.No ballpen or no pencil on hand is like going to war without loading your rifle.*wink***smile**

If that question was thrown your way,what would be your most unique answer??
