Technology in our lives

The actual home-technologic world is very strange. Nobody can predict how the technology will be, or where is going to. It’s true; technology has simplified our life, right? I mean… right? (yes, please think in that complicated software that is necessary to make “easier” your work. And think in the next version, that version which changes all you knew about that software).

My favorite dispositive: My laptop. Why? Because I can carry all my digital stuff everywhere and work on it. It’s just a portable PC (more expensive and gets more temperature because have less ventilation, but it’s OK). And that’s –for now- the objective of tech: portability. I can do the same things that I made on my old PC, but everywhere (even in the pool, as a teacher said). When do you think in high-end devices I can’t talk about smartphones or tablets, its power is far to be “decent” to work in hi-res video or even images.

Well, technology is here to stay, not to stay, to change continuously; and technology will not adapt to us. We must adapt to technology to be top of line in our professional field or even to be competitive. I don’t want to be pessimist, in fact; I love technology because (so-so) I understand it (I need to). But be careful, because the slogan of today is “Upgrade or die”.

Lyrics:

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,
Trash it, change it, mail - upgrade it,
Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it,
Snap it, work it, quick - erase it,
Write it, cut it, paste it, save it,
Load it, check it, quick - rewrite it,
Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it,
Drag and drop it, zip - unzip it,
Lock it, fill it, call it, find it,
View it, code it, jam - unlock it,
Surf it, scroll it, pause it, click it,
Cross it, crack it, switch - update it,
Name it, rate it, tune it, print it,
Scan it, send it, fax - rename it,
Touch it, bring it, Pay it, watch it,
Turn it, leave it, start - format it.
