a: laser ~
b: a hose poring out water concentrated

What:

"Many opinions float as to Laser being better than IPL. Laser is a different technology in the sense that distributes, or to be politically correct, concentrates the beam in one place versus IPL spreads it out to a wider surface. Think of it this way, laser is like a hose poring out water concentrated in one place but IPL is like the spayer we use to water our plants, it covers a wide area."

a: cellphone ~
b: a ball and chain

What:

"I was the first person I knew to have a cellphone in my car in 1983. At that point it was intriguing. Now I just see it as a ball and chain. I don't want to be that available to the world. I don't want to share every single thing I do. I look around the airport, and every single person is oblivious to the world around them. They don't live in the moment. I've made a conscious choice to not spend all my time ... looking down at a device. I refuse to do it. So there you have it. I'm a Luddite. But I'm a high-tech Luddite."
