Do you have Technology Burnout ?
Technology is supposedly a way of making our lives easier, If this was the case I would not have all this cable clutter in my room at this very moment. Today I am in love with a technology but I have to keep to myself and will not share it with you. Do you know why I will not share this technology with you?, Well it’s like this what I am using will require you to change how you think and people never like that their supposedly open minds are permanently shut down when it comes to doing their own thinking. Because if I shared this software with you should something go wrong you would be cursing me into the ground just like the people who told me the following things would make my life more easy.
Currently I Just Hate These Technologies Maybe That Will Change
Tablet Computers
Since buying my Archos 7 ht I only use it maybe every second day to either check emails or send videos to my roku lt via the plex app for the roku player. But I charge it nearly every night simply because sync is enabled or I left wifi turned on or something else. To avoid battery drainage now when I charge it I immediately switch to root access by typing “su” and then typing “halt” to kill the device. This is because a service called “cell standby” is responsible for some 78% of Battery use even though the device contains no sim card. I looked at multiple ways of disabling the service by changing file permissions and renaming files until I decided just to live with the problem as it was not that big of a deal, I was After trying 4 or more root file managers and wasting countless hours installing and navigating the app interface I think I have tried everything and it’s just a Gingerbread related issue, Yes I Did say Gingerbread which is not the default android version on the Archos7ht but Eclair so I wasted time installing that too, As now I can no longer access the internal hard drive on the device via my desktop it’s one of those things you have to accept when you decide to upgrade a firmware not approved by the creators of the device, But Gingerbread is better in my case anyway if may not be for you as I do not use the device to play media which is another problem with Gingerbread on the Archos7ht the firmware original version had these little buttons to adjust the volume quickly instead of going into the sound settings. Like when would you ever need to turn down you volume quickly.
Bluetooth
Ha this one is a real joke not only does it drain all you battery power it also hogs lots of your system memory. I got caught with this one too bought a creative D100 which sounds good and works well with some of the phones I had but I have it now under my desk connected via analogue because it’s the best way should anything go wrong I just pull out the cable. I thought that since I had a Bluetooth adaptor on my desktop I could put the speaker in another room and play songs from my computer and listen to them there maybe it’s possible but I no longer care to configure my computer to do so, I would just rather transfer the files to a micro sd card and listen to them via bluetooth over my phone till the battery goes dead after 3 songs.
Wireless
Sick of all that clutter on your desk go get yourself some wireless devices, Forget your USB mouse, Keyboard ,Printer, Headphones and Network Go Wireless be Free From Clutter Forever. Some of this may be true but after just buying the Adapter and Mouse I find myself looking for batteries. Booting up Mouseless I know a few desktop shortcuts but most systems do not like when the mouse is not working and constantly being disconnected from the internet while uploading. As for the rest I was nearly caught except the printer I do not have or want a printer if I have to print something I will put it in Google Docs and Go to the library and let them keep the printer working, Because I don’t need a printer of any kind I have enough papers laying about here to me they are just a waste of electric and are never working when you need them unless they are being used often stay away from printers as the oatmeal comic says printers are from hell. And wireless one’s can’t be any different.
Smartphones
I spend enough time on the internet as it is and don’t need a smartphone not that I would not take one for free but a phone with an mp3 player is enough for my needs. I do not want another thing needing to be updated and I find if I have to go anywhere for a little longer period of time I will take my Tablet and it’s Charger.
But Love These Gadgets
Cameras
I have two cameras one is a Fuji Z70 which I use to make my youtube videos and carry about in my pocket nearly everywhere I go most of the time I prioritise it over my phone my motto is “You may get a missed call or text that you can reply to later but you will never get to see that beautiful sunset again” unless it was someone who can’t understand you were just appreciating nature and the world, If it was they are probably not worth knowing. My other camera is also a Fuji but a bit more Advanced I can take it with me but find it a little bulky to be carrying about on my daily strolls even though this horrible town in a beautiful place.
My Roku Player Screw TV
Although it works over wireless, I love my roku so much I sometimes take it with me when I go on holidays even though I never have any holidays but if I did my roku would come with me, It’s like taking your satellite dish, Music and DVD library not to Mention your photo collection if you know how to use it the way it was designed to be used. My roku means I look at my own TV station in short and “if it’s not on Roku it’s not worth watching” . Some Apps I recommend for the Roku are Plex, Flickr, Couchy, Nowhere Archive and Facebook you can also get free porn on the roku if you want it not that I would be looking at anything like that well at least not that often anyway :).
The Next Great Technology
Each day new stuff comes out especially on the crazy smartphone market but I am not that interested in a phone that will pause the video when you look away. Actually I do not think there is anything on the Technology market at the moment that I want. I could get a Flat TV as I only have a tube one but the Roku connects also via anologue and I spend most of my time on my computer anyway. I have small guitar amp not small enough according to my neighbours sometimes and know how to connect it to my computer to play music on it extra loud even when I am not at home should I need to someday. How about you do you care about any new technology or are you just sick of all the hype and more interested in the real world. As for the new technology I love I can’t tell you the name of it because you would have to change your Operating System for a Start and it’s free so it can’t be that good so you would not be interested. Plus you would be slightly offended if I suggested you using it in the first place. But it may not be the Technology you need and everyone’s needs are different people blog that you need things or you will be left behind and try to use this fear as a marketing tool don’t always believe what you read online I know your smarter than that, But if you are reading things that are telling you that you are smart watch out for that too.
