The Marvels of Practical Technology: Internet Access, Robots, and Smart Homes

Technological advances are for the good of all mankind. We must believe. I believe! Being that I am not a geek and joined the tech world long after Al Gore invented the Internet, I have been doing nothing but “catch up” to “keep up”. Basically what happened was I got tired of sending out resumes, sometimes getting interviewed but never getting the job, and the well of temp jobs that I was drinking from to tide me over, dried up! So I joined the online work community in earnest in the year 2007. Had I predicted my future as a work-at-home professional, I would have learned about HTML codes a lot sooner. It's an arduous journey climbing up that “new tech trends ladder” day after day after day. But you know what? It's technological progress!! And you know what they say about technological progress. “*Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.”* ~ Aldous Huxley (My humor is corny but you could get used to it.) I believe technology is a tool for the greater good. Often times I come across a lot of practical advice about technology and what I learn I share. Below are some information links I found to be very illuminating.

Some days my Internet is slow. Are there ways for me to speed it up without having to pay a geek? **Working From Home? 8 Ways to Boost Your Internet Speed | Time** https://time.com/5813011/faster-internet/ I promise. If I get a robot vacuum for Christmas, my efficiency will increase. **Robots Might Make Human Workers More Efficient, Not Replace Them – Bloomberg** https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-06-18/robots-might-make-human-workers-more-efficient-not-replace-them To be honest, I have never been completely sold on the idea of smart homes. But if it really will improve one's quality of living, why resist? After all, there was once a time when people thought electricity in homes was dangerous. Yeah. Because gas light and candles were not dangerous at all! **What Can Go Wrong with a Smart Home and What You Can Do About It - IoT Tech Trends** https://www.iottechtrends.com/what-can-go-wrong-with-smart-home/ **Why 'Smart' Homes Are Creeping Out Consumers | Inc.com** https://www.inc.com/graham-winfrey/the-case-against-the-smart-home.html If this shared content proved useful, then I hope it helped you as much as it helped me. ♦ This is my original content which was published in 2020 via a newsletter which I decided to discontinue. https://cmoneyspinner1tf.substack.com/p/the-marvels-of-practical-technology
