I just recently bought an iPhone and I have to say that it is all that…and then some. I always hate getting something new when it comes to transferring everything over and all the new things you have to get used to. But the transition to the iPhone was unbelievably simple. I was looking at all of my favorite gadgets the other day. There they were sitting there on my desk. My GPS device, a handheld Pocket PC, my cell phone, and an MP3 Player. They looked a little lonely. Just a short while back, these cool gadgets were both practical and fun. Now they have been rendered useless…by my new iPhone. Because it does it all. The iphone is what each of these things were, and even better. As far as transferring all my contacts, songs, emails, etc…it was as easy as plugging the iPhone into the computer with USB. This magic thing called sync did the rest. It was amazing. Now my only concern is what to do with my old favorite gadgets. They all still work, but I don’t need them anymore. Maybe I will clear some space on the shelf and call it the Gadget Hall of Fame.

Okay, everyone is aware of the advancing technology, especially with computers. But has anyone ever wondered why the PC manufacturers can’t create a machine that will last longer than a couple years? For example, I use my PC 3 or 4 hours a day. I take good care of it by protecting it from all the online threats, and I do basic maintenance. But my computers only last about three years before things start breaking down. I even re-install Windows every six months just to get rid of the junk. Still, it won’t last more than three years. Just think if cars only lasted that long. We would be buying new cars every couple years. Maybe that would fix the ailing auto industry.

Have you ever stopped to think about where we’d be without the amazing technological advances?  Isn’t it incredible to think how far we’ve come just in the last 10 to 15 years? It may seem like a lifetime ago, that we didn’t have this thing called the Internet. But even the Internet hasn’t been around that long.  Remember when a cell phone was a car phone and it had a cord attach?  I remember getting my first car phone back in 1990 and thinking I was one cool dude because I had a ”car phone.”  Not long after that, people started walking around with cell phones.  Now we use our cell phones for everything including mobile Internet access.  When I think about how technology has changed my life, I am astounded.  To think what the next 10 to 15 years will bring is simply unimaginable.  However, it sure is fun thinking about the possibilities. Technology has a way of making our lives more convenient and if we are honest, a little more lazy.
