Day-to-Day Technology


In this episode:


Being geeks like we are, our lives pretty much revolve around
technology. Or maybe technology revolves around our lives. This
week, we discuss what we’re using day to day and how it makes our
lives both easier and more difficult at times. Some of it, you’d
probably guess (iPhones, Macbooks, gaming consoles), but there
are some neat ones, we think you’ll enjoy hearing about and
looking into.

Because we do use technology so much, the idea of disconnect
or disengaging from technology has a lot of appeal to some people
(Beej), while others tend to just shift their usage to maintain a
normal, adult lifestyle (Void). It all depends on your
personalities, and we discuss strategies that work for us so that
you can see some healthy, real-world ways you may be able to
adopt into your own routines.

And then there’s the awesome technology that you think you’re
gonna use a ton, but instead, it just sits on a shelf, all alone
and abandoned. We talk about purchases that should have been
awesome, but totally fell short of expectations. Kind of like the
Vive for Void (though it’s still awesome tech), and the New 3DS
for Beej (which was switched for a PS Vita).

Plus, there’s always speculation about what tech is on it’s
way. We talk about the stuff we’re particularly excited for. Like
the honest-to-goodness iPhone upgrade for the 10th anniversary,
the newly announced Nintendo Switch (formerly the NX),
self-driving cars, augmented reality, nanotechnology, and space
colonization. Give us a shout and tell us what you’re looking
for!
