Recently it just seemed like the smartest thing to do was buy a new phone as my old Samsung Galaxy S7 was experiencing too many problems ever since a store did a bad battery replacement on it. Everything from buttons not working to applications being a lot slower than normal. So it was time to upgrade. I\u2019m not one to spend thousands every year normally just to get the latest and greatest phone. I view them like a computer where it should last you awhile before any real need to upgrade.<\/p>\n

To me the best value for my needs seemed to have been the Galaxy S20 SE and so I went with it. After using it today the thought that came to my mind is how sometimes not updating your tech frequently can also mean you miss out on a lot of what is happening in modern day times in regards to communication and the social norm. For example, I already knew all the stuff from being a tech enthusiast, but I never had the need for a fingerprint scanner. Or charging wise I always just plugged it into an outlet without much fuss. But here you have the option of wireless charging and sharing power with other devices that way.<\/p>\n

So you can see how if you just stick with what simply works for your needs 100% of the time without taking some initiative to experience what\u2019s new you could easily overlook thee things when it comes to you establishing say a business for the future. Very similar to how before people laughed at the idea of needing a website for a restaurant as it made no sense since they get business from foot traffic as an example. Nowadays online reviews and a presence online is how many research where to go.<\/p>\n

This phone definitely takes nicer pictures and videos than my old phone. But what I am most interested in as the days go on is how I can increase my productivity with modern tech and adapt it into the things I run. Here\u2019s some pictures for fun:<\/p>\n
