Tips on How to Keep up with Technology.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I am on a flight towards my vacation with my wife to San Francisco and figured I start writing up my latest installment. This time I am going to do something a bit different though. Instead of taking items of technology and comparing them like I usually do, I wanted to give you my in site on how technology is constantly changing and if we as users and consumers are every ready for the newest thing out there? Are we ready for "the next big thing"?  It doesn't matter if your a tech guru person like I like to think I am or just your average Joe who needs something that works.

As an IT technician, I need to be always on my toes with the latest technology and because of my line of work, it makes it that much harder to do so. I not only have to take care of my users needs but I also need make sure I don't have a dumb founded look when one of my users asks me a question about what's new. Naturally I cant purchase all the latest "toys" that are out there (even if I could, I think my wife would divorce me if I did LOL). The best I can do though is educate myself and that's why I love the internet so much.

My friends have asked me what is it I do to keep up to date? The truth of the matter, it really isn't that difficult so as long as you have access to the internet. Lets face it, everyone has access to some means of the internet, whether its at work, at home, public hot spot or library, even on their phones. As long as you have access to the internet, you can view the blogs, read the news, hit up forums online, even watch youtube videos of people testing out this new technology. That's what I do and if you are as lucky as I am, the company you work at are into the latest in technology and want you testing it. It is also no secret you can go to any Best Buy, PC Richards, and other electronic shop like that to play around with these toys. I like getting hands on experience on the new stuff if I can.

That is truly the best advice I can give anyone. Go to a store, ask questions, if the equipment is there, ask to hold it, test and try it out there. Trust me they will let you, after all, they will potentially want your business so they will let you play around with the gadgets there. I didn't get to learn about the latest tablets just by reading or hearing about it, I've physically held and played with them.

I hope this was insightful and you have enjoyed today's blog. Until next time! :)

My Absence

Good morning everyone and welcome back to my blog.
I wish to apologize to my readers in my absence. There has been a lot of events that has taken place in the past few months which has prevented me from being able to update as much. One of the biggest events is I started a brand new job 4 months ago. It has been keeping me very occupied and on my toes since its pretty much the dream job I had been wanting in a long time.

Be on the look out for more entries now that I have a tablet so I will be able to write more on the road.
Thank you all!
