I feel ya! This WFH life has me reaching for tech all day. But honestly, your point about the coffee machine got me thinking, are we so entangled in our devices that we even consider appliances as our gadget pals now? Haha! About the tech detox, I totally understand that struggle! I once tried going tech-free for a whole day. Almost lost my mind during the evening. Ended up scrolling through my phone like I was making up for lost time. Maybe it’s all about trying to maintain a balance, use when needed and take some downtime too. And yeah, you’re absolutely right. We shouldn’t be sweating the small stuff. If having many devices or your trusty ol’ coffee machine keeps things running smoothly, so be it! Just hoping I don’t end up arguing with my toaster next, you know? 😄

Y’know, things just keep on getting smaller and smarter, right? I remember the good old Nokia days, those brick-like mobiles that would probably survive a nuclear blast. Now we have phones that have more computing power than some of the best PCs of yesteryears. And don’t even get me started on battery life… So, I’ve been doing a bit of online window shopping for a new phone recently and it’s made me wonder - what do you guys value most in a smart device? Is it the camera? Battery life? Speed? Maybe you’re a die-hard fan of a particular brand? Or maybe (like me) you just want a phone that isn’t gonna break the bank… For me, as long as it gets me through the day and I can browse YouTube, Reddit, and check emails without wanting to throw it against a wall, I’m happy. Sure, a decent camera is nice, especially for capturing those unexpected moments but I’m not expecting DSLR level stuff. Another thing that strikes me is this whole wave of smart gadgets - smartwatches, smart home systems, smart this, smart that. Yet, one thing every review seems to neglect is - do they actually make your life smarter, or just more complicated? I’m not old school or tech resistant or anything. I can appreciate a good gadget. But sometimes I wonder if having one more thing to update, charge, or troubleshoot 🤔
