Hi folks, its Moses, here again, to dish out my signature opinions about technology and it’s many roles in our lives, specifically focusing on how we can minimize our clutter and confusion without sacrificing uptime/redundancy and convenience. To keep things relatable, I’m focusing on the multiple mobile devices and accessories in each of our possession, in addition to often redundant hardware. I could discuss dedicated servers and nodes and routers that help connect all the individual devices we’re relying on for so many things day to day as well, BUT let’s keep it to one part of the picture for the moment. Similarly, when Home Automation comes into the conversation, we will begin to conceptualize every utility in our home as a connectable configurable and highly efficient part of our ecosystem of hardware and software. It’s a revolutionary way to look at networks and automation; the concept of Sync has been elevated to the next level (at least that’s the idea). So I’ll try to keep this simple and point out that most reading this likely have at least one cell phone, a laptop, desktop, tablet, external hard drive, TV, game console and/or external battery pack along with cables, adapters, chargers, headphones, speakers, microphone, controllers and many other input devices like keyboards and mice. That is such a small list but already seems overwhelming! Add onto that the list of antiquated technology that is all around us.
Now I will admit, I have not heard every single experience of this phenomena, but over the years I have seen that people have far too much technology they don’t need (for instance, old CD and DVD players, radios, CRT monitors, PC desktops from 10 years ago, tons of cables that have incompatible connections, etc.) and far too little of the technology that could really help them evolve their daily routines and focus on what’s important with support for today’s demanding expectations/standards. The products we choose to support offer the level of artistic design that makes many mundane or repetitive tasks lose some of their monotony and discomfort while opening doors to creative expression and exploration in ways we never thought possible or at least accessible for end users.
One of Apple’s missions, and one of ours too, is to help you reach your personal and professional goals, whether you’re playing, creating, exploring or recording with tools that are as intuitive as possible and designed with user-friendly features, assisting you in expressing yourself and immersing yourself in art and information through an internet of things (as we love to call it). Part of that mission involves users getting curious, joining the conversation and redefining the way they are looking to use their technology to develop the perfect ecosystem for their unique needs. Small Dog is here to open the door for you, we’re by your side the whole way, but you are the explorer and the world of possibility can be as vast as your imagination. Come by sometime and see how things have changed; it’s absolutely wild that we’ve got inductive charging for computers you wear on your wrist, people are now seriously considering using an iPad Pro instead of a MacBook, and the new iMac Pro that could be the only computer you’d ever need for almost any project. We have solar powered battery packs for hiking around trails with your phone at full charge, there are speakers that float on water, headphones that wirelessly auto pair like magic, we even have flower pots that water your plants for you on a perfectly optimized schedule and report soil health! And, add to this list, locks that can be controlled remotely, linked to security cameras, all wireless and app-based. Its quite the world we’re living in.
