  • What is the tech you can't live without?

We all know that technology has become deeply integrated into our lives and brought many benefits (and plenty of bad habits as well) along with it. So what is the one piece of tech that absolutely make sure you have with your when you leave the house?

Phone? Table? Laptop? Earbuds? Smart watch?

The title may be a bit misleading because I’d like to think we all can live without technology from time to time, but what is the thing you think is the most useful in your life? For me, I’d say it’s my laptop. I am a writer by work and by passion so I spend quite a lot of time on my laptop.

What’s your go-to device?

    Well, In my case phone. I use my mobile phone for everything. Check social network, write in forums, chat in whatsapp, call family…

    My phone has been my go to, I game on it some to keep distracted and check social media and more. Tho I have thought about trying to go without it all for a while.

    What you said is true, with the way technology is now, can really get one thinking if we could ever go without it again. Would be interesting to see if we could.

      SprintingWorm haha OMG so true! I’m in South Texas and it’s crazy hot and humid during the summer, this summer particularly!! It makes you really not want to leave the house at all!

        DarkPikaJP yeah that is interesting. I sort of did an experiment like that a few months ago where I tried to go back to the oldest smartphone I could find in my drawer to see how long I could survive with it.

          DarkPikaJP I was thinking about the samething. But going out without my phone means I need a lot of cards, keys and cash, which I don’t want to carry around all the time. I’ve lost enough bus cards when I was in High School and Uni 😅

              SprintingWorm OMG that is why I love Apple Wallet and Google Pay (when it works and they figure out which app they’re going to use to do it). I hate having a wallet with me all the time lol and would love to just be able to carry my phone with me and nothing else.

                  Heyo Yeah! I didn’t reneember of my wear os smartwatch with NFC and Google Pay. Its amazing pay without your wallet.

                      Menguelez It’s the best man for real. I can’t wait for the day where I never need a wallet!

                        Heyo yea those can be handy but like you said, it’s “when” they work and figure it out. Not enough stores here use it yet to where I can rely on it.

                            SprintingWorm Smaller city in North Carolina, not even the big box store like Walmart has it. They love being behind on tech advances 😅

                            What about you?

                                DarkPikaJP I was running around between Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland, but now I am stuck in the Mainland. 😅Apparently, as a Foreigner in China, get out is easy enough, but coming back is hard.

                                    DarkPikaJP Oh nice! My wife and I are looking to move out to that part of the country in the next few years.

                                        Heyo It’s alright, they are as friendly as ever. Sometimes foreigners and Chinese citizens have different procedures for the same things, which is annoy.
