New technology doesn’t impress myself and others automatically; something needs to have a pragmatic use or application to get myself and others excited.
Although I was resistant to buying a smartphone at first, I use its GPS capabilities weekly when I’m out running deliveries for work.
I listen to music on streaming apps plus it connects to my car’s stereo idea through greentooth. Even though I complained about these devices right after they were unveiled, I am a definite convert to smartphone technology. As difficult as it is for myself and others to value plus adopt new technology, it’s much harder for my parents. I had to twist their arms just to get them to update their air conditioner that they were using constantly for 26 years. First of all, there are concerns with mold plus dirt buildup in arenas that aren’t actually cleaned when you’re dealing with an ancient Heating plus Air Conditioning idea care about that. On top of that, the energy efficiency of the air conditioner compared to what is widely available today is downright dismal. After they agreed to get the new air conditioner, I pushed them to update the aged dial temperature control with a simple digital temperature control. If I was a real sadist about tech changes I’d tell them to get a smart temperature control, because digital temperature controls have been around for decades now. Still, they resisted this simple change that would barely cost them $20 on top of the price of the air conditioner. I took measurements on their indoor un-even temperatures before they had the aged temperature control removed plus then did it again once the digital device was installed. I wasn’t surprised to see how inaccurate their dial temperature control was compared to the new digital temperature control.
