The Problem of Following Technology Fads

I posted this last year, but thought it would be a good reminder with BLACK FRIDAY just around the corner! I sometimes do not know what to think about Black Friday. For weeks, there have been commercials about when certain deals are starting for weeks. In fact, many stores have started their “Black Friday”…
As you continue to think about what it means to be content, often times part of being content means being content with what we have. This is a post I had done a while back and I thought I would revisit it. A book called Go Organize! listed these questions in order to start to…
When people ask me what I do, I often tell them what I do for my “day job” and what occupies my time at night. Rarely do I say that I have a “business” blogging. Why? I think I am still unsure how to explain what I do. When I tell people that I have…
You may wonder: is there REALLY an item out there that I CAN’T do without? Okay, maybe I could live without it, but I would have a hard time going back to my old ways. I am known to take it immediately out of the washer, not let it dry, and use it again, just…
DIY. Pinterest. Facebook. Blogs. If you are into DIY or crafts at all, you know how your craft projects sometimes go. You sit down to start a project, but it takes you 15 minutes to FIND everything that it takes to do the project. Then you realize you have 3 of something. Then you realize…

Great post. I have an iPad which I love. It replaced my laptop when it died. I work at home & my job provides the work PC. I have a cell phone but don't have a smartphone. I'm tethered to my computer all day so I like being away from it when I'm out & about.
I like this! Being able to step away IS a beautiful thing!
I love having a smartphone and it would be hard to live without once you get used to it but it is a convenience not a necessity. I moved up from a tracfone a year ago but still don't have a regular data plan. I mostly rely on wifi. So much is spent on expensive plans and high end phones.
The biggest negative I see is the distraction they are when with other people. Way too easy to keep checking phones or messing with them instead of spending time together.
That is exactly how I feel – once you get one, it would be hard to go back :). I agree too, that they can be a distraction – but I realize that even with my tracfone, I can easily pick it up and text someone, when with other people. It's a reality check and it's always something to think about! Thanks for sharing!
