New IPhone's announced today

New iPhones today

            Today,  Apple is going to announce there new iPhone's along with the new version of IOS and other items.  Don't buy the new phones this year.  There's going to be very little innovation in today's announcement.  Save your money and wait until next year.  If you truly need a new phone get the iPhone 8 or iPhone X and save some money.   Technologically, were at the beginning of a new mobile era.  Once 5g begins rolling out the beginning of next year you will want to get a phone that is capable of accessing that very fast mobile network.  Devices that have been released this year won't be able to take advantage of the new speeds.  You will need to wait until at least next year before you can get a device that takes advantage of the new faster mobile service. 

No Need to upgrade
            These devices won't have too much that will warrant the expensive price tag.  Yes, they will be shiny and new, but last years models will be much cheaper and have the same basic features.  Sure, they won't have the faster chip and some of the new camera features, but you will be able to afford a larger size coffee at your favorite coffee spot!!

Android
             What about Android?  Samsung released its Galaxy s9 earlier this year along with the Note 9 late in August.  The Note 9 is a pretty nice phone.  Again, I would try and hold out until next year.   5g is going to be a game changer for many people, and getting a phone equipped with that will be worth the wait.

Really now your writing?
Finally, you can expect more from this page in the coming days.  We will discuss Chromebooks and AI replacing jobs.  Let me know what else you would like me to write about.

Technology and Jobs

More people are becoming increasingly concerned about jobs.  As technology advances at the sonic speeds more entry-level jobs are going to be replaced.  This is a fact.  We can't slow it down if we want to see cheaper goods and services.  Companies also need to stay competitive.  Look at the recent deal between Microsoft and Walmart as both behemoths battle Amazon Another factor with this is growing wages.  As more states implement higher minimum wage laws companies are seeing more ROI on Kiosks and self-checkout registers.  Amazon has introduced a convenience store model that doesn't have cash registers at all.  You just download an app and you can go through the store and items get added or removed based on what you pick up. and put down.  More and more jobs are going to be automated.  Tesla is working on self driving tractor trailer trucks.   Amazing technology, but humans need to adapt.  Even in IT we...

New Focus!!

Posts were very few over the last two years. While quite a bit has happened it was hard to focus on much other than my full time job. I really have started to focus on security and helping you secure your home networks is what we are going to focus on in the coming months. There is a lot to talk about and tools you can use to ensure your data is safe. Items such as using a password manager and enabling Multi-Factor Authentication for your logins can ensure that your data is safe. Nothing is perfect, but taking steps can minimize your risk of having your information stolen. Not only will discuss these topics, but we will show you how to do some of them. Let me know some home network security topics you're interested in and we will add them to the list.
