Resolutions for the New Year
December 31st 2010 11:51
Ant-tech for the brain
1. Call instead of text
2. No more happy birthdays on Facebook
3. Don’t use the phone at the dinner table
4. See the 2D version instead of the 3D
5. Use my gadgets to do things more than I do things on my gadgets
No new Apple TV, no set-top boxes, no 3D television set, and no new home theater system. I have a lousy, cheap setup, and that’s the way it will stay for the next year. I’m still going to watch TV, but if I buy anything new, it won’t be a device that’s made to be stared at or listened to passively. It’s time to remember that gadgets are tools. When gadgets can broaden your horizon and make the rest of your life better, instead of just your living room, then you are doing a better job at living digitally.
