I am terrible at covering technology. I don’t write reviews. I won’t tell you about the latest gadget and why it’s worth your money. I struggle to prove why anyone should more than one thing that serves the same purpose.<\/p>\n
I won’t give you app recommendations nor phone preferences. Technology is a tool to use. It’s not a religion to go to war over. It’s not worth the words spent and tears shed over the cruelties of which brand our plastic and metal shells come from in China.<\/p>\n
I won’t tell you Mac or PC. I won’t mention Linux or its variants. I won’t waste your time and mine debating something pointless.<\/p>\n
There are a great many people who will tell you all about technology and how you’re using it wrong. They’ll tell you how to use it better, how to make it work for you, how to hack your life and what you need to buy.<\/p>\n
I say use what you have. Use the tools you can afford. Use the tools that make you happy. If you don’t need a smart phone, don’t buy one. If you don’t need a Mac, a Chromebook or slim Windows laptops will serve you well.<\/p>\n
Technology has become a lifestyle and a fashion symbol. But it’s all branding on the same plastic box. It’s a ruse to get more money from you every year.<\/p>\n
To buy the latest and the newest. To have the best all the time.<\/p>\n
If that’s what you want and what makes you happy, I’m very happy for you. But it’s not the way I feel. It’s a way to feel.<\/p>\n
So many times I see people writing as if their way is The One True Way.<\/strong> Whether it be the writing application they use or the operating system their computer runs or telephone they carry.<\/p>\n Here is my great truth.<\/p>\n There is no One True Way.<\/strong><\/p>\n There is no single answer. There is no right and wrong. There is only what works for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am terrible at covering technology. I don’t write reviews.
