We are bombarded daily by mail, email, text messages, social media and broadcasts on virtually every subject imaginable. This century has become a maze of media, noise, talking heads, and annoying little gadgets.
We now have immediate access to more information than anyone ever has. Not only can we seek answers, they seek us. There is a device at every turn demanding our attention. It is so overwhelming that there are days when I just want to throw everything out and go live in the woods.
Poor Gutenberg had no idea of the beast he unchained. With the convergence of media and technology we have entered a world none of us ever imagined. Even George Orwell didn’t envision the complexities we have unleashed.
As a member of the technology industry and for helping to create this bastard child, you are welcome, and I apologize. Like it or not, this cyber beast is our reality. It is a great gift if we learn to harness it, or it is the scourge of all time if we fail to use it wisely.
I am intimate with technology. I dip below the surface daily, writing software, implementing network protocols and installing hardware solutions. This is my introduction to The Connected Lifestyle. It is a thread of subjects, at lease my attempt, to help address some of the problems that I helped create.
The topics I cover are based on my personal experiences and interests. Except when written as part of a series, each can be read in any order. They are written so that most people can understand the terminology. I cover a wide array of topics that range from the simple to the highly technical. My overall goal is to offer a few ideas to help people navigate the craziness that is being connected 24 by 7.
