Mobile technology positives
One of the things that makes our daily routines easier is technology. Technology can refer to an array of different things. One of those things is mobile technology. One example of mobile technology is the cell phone. The cell phone has become a staple in communication mobility around the world. With so many towers and cellular communications, we are able to reach the most remote areas of the world. Other examples of mobile technology include PDA’s and laptops. The one thing that slows down an internet connection could be the strength of the wireless signal you get. Some smartphones can even act as a modem to connect via USB directly into your laptop for stronger signal. Things that may be classified as daily or nightly routines, like watching television, can be done through mobile technology as well. With many phones, laptops, PDA’s, and some mp3 players, you can watch television programming like news, sports, movies, and so on. Another mobile technology that makes life much easier is GPS units. Global positioning systems, or GPS, have replaced old fashioned folding maps and map booklets of yesterday because of their convenience, reliability, and updated maps. Many features typically accompany a GPS device. If you want to find a restaurant or gas station, you can find them through a search from the closest to your current location outward with a compass so you know which direction they are in. Many of these units even have the address and phone number of the location so you can call to make sure they are still open or ask other questions. The GPS will allow you to set up routes with different personal settings and give you turn by turn directions. Many have standard maps and 3d maps for your preference. The best thing is that the cost has come down quite a bit. You can get a nice one for well under $100 in most markets.

Being able to use your cell phone as an air card for instant internet access to your laptop is really neat. Unfortunately, I am with Sprint and they stopped doing that for some reason. I love my GPS. With my work requiring constant time on the road looking for different addresses, it is a life saver and time saver.
ReplyDeleteI don't use a GPS system, nor do I use an air card. Just an old fashioned internet modem with a wireless router! I have noticed that the price of the GPS systems has come down a lot though.
