Can you believe there’s nothing on the tech buzz stage that interests me this month? People are all excited about the impending iPhone 7. I don’t use my earbud jack that much, but I’d prefer to keep it. Otherwise, I haven’t seen or heard anything that would interest me enough to trade in my iPhone 6Plus. Mr. L’s iPhone 5 either needs a new battery or to be replaced. I’m encouraging him to upgrade to the iPhone SE, which has the guts of an iPhone 6 but the form factor of the iPhone 5, which he prefers. He won’t use all that new stuff, but the phone should be reliable for another four years or more.<\/p>\n
For the gaming community, there’s talk of an incredible video card, but it costs as much as a small car, so I believe most people won’t be pouncing on it the day it’s released to the public.<\/p>\n
At some point, I’ll need to replace my 2011 Lincoln Navigator L. Unfortunately, I don’t see anything I like better at any price, and what I do see, I don’t want to pay what they’re expecting for the vehicle. I’ll be keeping my maintenance current, driving gently, and hanging onto this baby for as many years as I can milk out of it.<\/p>\n
Which seems to sum things up for me. Have I reached the tipping point in my life where nothing new is improved over the old stuff I have? Probably. That includes the various Apple computers out there. Certainly, nothing in the Windows realm interests me — what a nightmare the supposedly stable Windows 10 has been for my husband. He bought a new desktop three months ago, but he hasn’t even powered it on yet. I hope it works when he does.<\/p>\n
Help me out, folks. What’s new and exciting for you on the tech horizon? Anything?<\/p>\n
