The High Tech Gadgets became part of our life. How secure you feel without cellular phone, PDA, GPS, etc.? Like my friend said, GPS does not have a brain, but using it, individual looses his own brain. Indeed, in many cases, we rely completely on our assistants, and feel completely helpless, when something is wrong. What do you want to do, when at the middle of the very important phone interview your battery dies? Correct, smash the phone on the floor.

These are the moments when you wish that your cellphone - an otherwise helpful gadget - had nerves and self-awareness so that you could cause it pain. Now is your chance to get even.

Wired.com is offering you to “take revenge on all the old electronic equipment that has bumped you into a higher health-risk bracket from increased blood pressure. Gadgets only get away with these sick head games because they think they can. It’s time to show them otherwise. This aggression will not stand, dude”.

Submit your best gadget-abuse photo and vote for your favorite among the other submissions. The 10 most highly ranked photos will appear in a gallery on the Wired.com homepage. Show them your most gleefully destructive photos of computers, fax machines, cellphones, whatever has haunted your nightmares over the years. Just keep your activities within the realms of safety and good sense.
