I recently saw a great exhibit at the Boston MOSI about technology in every day life. They had a booth that was *exactly* 1984 when I was a teen.
Rolodex, Take-out Menu, JC Penny Mail Order Catalog, old fashioned checkbook, bank passbook, low-profile wall phone with the extra long piggly cord so you can reach around corners, Betamax (not VHS!), 12" CRT Color TV, and an original Atari. What would take Four and a Half hours (pay a bill, order a Catalog item, figure out what's probably left at the video rental store on a Saturday, arrange for takeout, see which friends are about and their plans in the next two hours, etc); done - inside of 15 minutes - on a current Smartphone.
I let the technology that is helpful - help me.
Mind you I've got several kids, the oldest in their twenties, the youngest is a tweener, so I'm not a hipster Spring Chicken by any stretch. But I enjoy finding how technology is enabling a more convenient and secure living so I can enjoy other things. As a result, yes, there are many Mobile Applications that have taken the place of my PC. To be fair, I find myself doing mostly Photo Post-Processing on the desktop nowadays. I still pay bills here as well, mostly because I'm old school enough to print a copy of what I've paid. There's still nothing like a piece of paper with the creditor's marquee on top to contest any silliness like late fees, etc.
I love Snapseed on my phone. It helps that I'm 100 percent Google experience (I've been on Nexus since I could afford it, now Pixel) - the more you invest into a system, just like cameras, the more advantages you have - everything is well integrated, easy to move over, and manipulate. It doesn't hurt that Pixel has one of the best cameras in the market right now, so I always have a "good enough" camera on me.
