The Problem of Following Technology Fads

A capsule wardrobe is not for everyone. It really isn’t. Some enjoy the options. Some enjoy spending time choosing an outfit. Some are not bothered by the number of clothing items and accessories they own. That is JUST fine! Seriously, no judgement here. I am just odd in the sense that I like to live…
I thought I had decluttered enough. You see, I have been in the “decluttering” stage for the past few years, and what I am learning, is that you are really never done. Anytime you bring something into your home, often something else does not leave. That is one reason why clutter happens. Next weekend our…
One of the things that we go through most in our house is paper. Not even construction paper, but that plain ole white computer paper. Thankfully it’s cheap and can be recycled because boy we sure go through a lot of it! The other day, as I was scanning our living room floor, I realized…
A question I get asked often: HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE SMALL SPACES OR IF YOU LIVE IN A SMALL PLACE? I have to say that there are much smaller spaces to live in than what we do. By all means, our 1,000 square foot house is not small – apartments and some houses are much…
Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right.” — Charles Spurgeon Right and ALMOST right. I have heard this quote several times over the past few years and each time, I ponder what I believe to be THE TRUTH. Not that I question WHO is the truth, but the voices of the world are…
Are you a big shopper? Do you enjoy spending hours in a mall, wandering aimlessly, looking at whatever catches your eye? I was never a big shopper. Just ask my mom! Even as I grew older, I was never one to just spend hours in a mall. Although, I have learned that it’s all about…

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!
