I've realized recently that my fascination with all things
technology is becoming more profound as I get older. However, my appetite for
gadgets and gizmos is going unaddressed because of the sorry state of my
current contraptions. I have a laptop that I have had for 7 years that gets the
job done, but is being held together with duct tape and inaccessible innards
due to a botched repair from a scammer repair shop. My phone is an iPhone 6 and
there's far too much money standing between me and paying it off. Don't get me
wrong. I enjoy my phone. I feel like Android has done a lot to catch up to
Apple and the phones that are coming out in that segment of the marketplace are
much better.
I get that it sounds like I'm
doing more complaining than anything. It all has to do with the aspirations I
have for the future. I want to be involved with the technology world. I can't
do that if my devices are dusty and antiquated compared to what's currently out
there. In the first stages of this blog, my content will be speculative as I
lack the resources to purchase what's needed to convey first hand experiences.
I don't want that to be the case for long though. I believe that the best
content comes from people who have actually gotten their hands on the thing
they're talking about. Anything else is a waste of time.
I plan to go to every corner of
the technology world to talk about things you've heard of and a lot that you
might not know about. I will even try to see what's coming on the horizon and
let you know about it before anyone else. Nothing is off limits. Technology is
important. People need to hear about it. They're not going to benefit from
rehashed content talking about what the juggernauts. We all know what the
juggernauts are doing. That’s why they’re juggernauts. I will talk about the
titans of the industry because it would be irresponsible of me as tech
correspondent to do so.
The way I cover technology will seem unusual to some. I will
discuss specifications, but I won’t get as deep into them as some of my
competitors. I feel like the main thing that most consumers are interested in
is how well a device works. That’s the point I want to get across. It’s great
that a phone has this screen or that processing chip. What can all those things
do for the consumer when they are put together? The audience is not going to care
unless they can grab onto something they can use. Otherwise they will just buy
what everyone else is buying or a bargain bin unit with no shred of value.
I will never disparage any other content creators. While they’re
my competitors, there’s enough room out here for all of us. I’m a big fan of
each and every one of them and look forward to the possibility of collaborating
somewhere down the line.
