Are you playing catch up, or just need an update?

Every so often, we hear people mention technology is advancing too quickly; or something along those lines. These people are usually over the age of 50, and not the biggest fans of our fancy smartphones. Ironically enough, even they were once young too. When you’re young, you drive faster,  run faster, and probably eat your meals faster. Faster has always been better, and more so now then ever before. Technology is all about proficiency and speed; and we LOVE it!

Updates

We’re always seeing updates; updates are basically a better computing version to do a task/command more efficiently and/or quicker.  Updates are now taking place on every computing device we own and live with. Updates are also a way to make outdated technology and programs extend their lifespan for their users. But eventually we all get sick of the old devices. Its just what we’ve been programmed to do, no pun intended. The reality of the matter is, cleaver targeted marketing has truly altered our opinions; or maybe it really is time for the new iPhone, or Galaxy s5.

The overuse of tech devices and time consumed with devices in our face is on the rise year by year. Weather we’re at work, at home, lounging, or on the go, we tend to have our mighty devices with us. We are constantly fighting our inner urge to reach for our phones, just to hit the screen button and triple-check if we missed a message or call. Well, at least we now know what time it is; better luck in a few minutes I guess. But since you’re here, just check-in with your friend on social media, because I’m sure they are all fascinated by your free-spirited lifestyle and those professional model selfies (FYI “Selfie” is currently showing as a misspelled word, how long do you think that’ll last?); update required Microsoft Word!

I’m sure The Chainsmokers would agree… The Chainsmoker – SELFIE

Moral of the Blogs, don’t become the outdated person in the room. Stay updated with your Tech game.
