Tech Gadget Boundaries

As technology progresses, the boundaries of the technologies are becoming more blurry than ever.

My computer used to be the only device that is able to get on to the internet at all. Now we have smart phones that can get on the internet almost as fast as at home and devices that can also provide internet connections everywhere we go. My cellular phone used to only do two tasks: making calls and playing Pong. Nowadays, the smart phones can take pictures, shoot videos, watch movies, stream music and even play sophisticated 3D games!

Apple iPad

Though technology progressions make the boundaries more blurry, new boundaries are being marked as well.

Before we probably would have never thought of tablet being a feasible market: the computing power was not enough, the power and storage was not enough. But lo and behold, in today's market, new tablets are being introduced every time you sneezed.

However, as manufacturer rushes to fight market shares, the tablet wars is looking a lot liked the desktop PC wars that is fought years back by Dell and HP. But in the end, its the consumer that received the most benefits....right?

Death of Normal Cell Phones

You may already dropped your landline at home and your normal cell phone could be next on chopping block.

I miss the days when cell phones are just phones. They were easy and simple! The old Nokias never seems to crash and ALWAYS loved you with full 4 bars.

My current SmartPhone (HTC Nexus 1) requires more TLC than my dog!
Updating, re-booting, erasing and freeing memory are just some daily task required.
Not to mention the "FIT" it thorws when temperamental!
It will not ring you when someone calls or screen freezes when it decides to go on un-announced vacation! (reminds me of someone...!)

I do miss my old cell phone.....!

Apple Sues Again, This Time With Samsung In Its Crosshairs.

Apple versus Samsung

Apple sues again...looking from the past development of LG v. Apple, Apple v. HTC, HTC v. Apple etc. I have already lost count how many ways they are suing each other.

We could probably understand the reasoning behind the first lawsuit when the market was being introduced the first touchscreen styled phone. But with the number of touchscreen styled mobile phones presently in the market, it just looks bad.

In the end, it probably comes down to which ever company got the best lawyers or the beefiest budget for litigation. But if even any of them won on any of the lawsuits, that means present descendants of Ford could probably sue everybody for the infringement of a metal box that moves on 4 wheels which we all came to known as a CAR.

True Cost of Smart Phones

What most consumer doesn't realize is Smart Phones are actaully expensive gadgets. The average device cost over $500 per handset to purchase without a contract.

Well you may argue "Wait! TV promos to be $99 with 2 years service subscription and I never saw them costing over $150 per handset!"

All major carriers subsidizes bulk of the cost for a smartphone to a level you could afford. Another words, they are literally giving you the device for FREE.... Now you understand why they are charging you an ARM & a LEG for these data service. Not mentioning the hefty contract breaking penalities they enforce when you want to leave.

You may want to think again about the "Cheap" smart phones on your hand...!

Master or VISA ??

Smart Phones are created to drain your bank account~! Since they have multi-functional capabilities, each extra service will cost you a pretty penny. Basic service $40, 4G Data service $50, texting package $2.99, single App $1, over minute surcharge $25 and the look on your face when the thick bill arrives each month...? Priceless...!!

Smart Phones Drains You Dry..!!

My smart phone bill is up towards $100 this month, and it just makes me wonder if all these extra services are worth coughing up $1200 per year plus $150 to buy a smartphone. Sure my life is easier (I think?) and faster (depends where I am), but how do people live before all this? They seems to live ok in the past, life was simple without all the emails & tweets. I mean, I am sooo willing to shell out 100 bucks per month to let my FB buddies know exactly what I'm up to. I'm on the crapper this very moment reading "war & peace"..! I can't imagine what family could and willing to afford muitple smart phone service every year. That bill adds up to some major expenses. Suze "really" needs to look at Youtube while waiting for the bus & Timmy "really" needs to tweet to his buddies 3 rows behind... Suze get a BOOK! and Timmy "Talk" to him during break...! Cost down is the new motto for America....! And if you guys happen to break a smart phone by accident, sell it to "Brokensellphone.com" It might just help with your Tweet bill next month~!!

Recycling your cell phone.

Most people do not recycle their mobile phones and they end up in the trash. What they do not know is that most damaged mobile phones can be repaired and be given a new lease on life. While the fast pace of technology creates faster adoption of newer products, the old mobile phones get forgotten. They stayed forgotten and not used until sometime spring cleaning down the road and gets thrown out as trash.

Many components of a mobile phone can still be reused, if not, processed to be used in other industries. So recycle your cell phone through the proper channels and save those precious resources.
