As we move closer to 1:1 laptops at work, and we keep having conversations about fascinating new technology, it seems time to do a list of which technologies I use all the time, and which ones I don’t. My plan is to do a post about each item on these lists and how I do or don’t use it (and why, which is probably more intriguing) In the meantime, the list by itself might be amusing.
Tech I use pretty much every day:
- Books
- Laptop (MacBook, in my case)
- iPod Touch
- Web browsing
- Email (both on my computer and on Gmail as well as work’s FirstClass)
- Blogs and online journal conversations
- RSS feeds
- Productivity and calendar applications
- iTunes
- Moodle (course software)
- Notetaking tools (TextEdit, VoodooPad)
- Computer based alarm clock (Awaken)
- Radio (in the car)
- Car
Tech I use at least once a week:
- Cell phone
- Google Voice
- YouTube
- Hulu
- Podcasts
- iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote)
- Instant messaging (Adium, by choice, but also Google’s chat)
- Watching DVDs on the computer (via Netflix)
- Online health charts
- Digital camera
Technology I don’t use or use very rarely:
- Television
- Console gaming
- Landline phones (outside of work)
- Dedicated ebook reader
- Text messaging from the phone
- Microwave
