Technology Helping People #2 – What you don’t want

When I talk about technology I usually mean software.  If software doesn’t address your needs exactly, it is irrelevant, it’s not affordable or it overloads you then why bother! It has simply wasted everyone’s’ time and money! 

Stuff that’s not usable drives me crazy! You have to spend time working it out? Maybe you use something irregularly and have re-learn it every time you go back? I’m sure you have used something online today that is like that?

What about tech that’s there for the sake of it!  It adds no real value to your life; it’s just there because it can be.  I haven’t used the Excel spread sheet on my I-mate phone yet? Not to mention the fact that I’m given every option under then sun to to move the cursor around the screen… check it out!

Enter the new ‘Brick’

You also want stuff that is cheap and prices keep coming down, heck this blog/website service at Terapad that you are reading now is completely free, I do get Google ads, but at least they are interesting and targeted!

When there is information out there that you don’t need or it is badly organized it creates so much overload.  It also creates apathy, particularly in the older generations, it’s unlikely that some will ever realize the potential of the net.  There’s simply so much interesting (and not so) information around, where do you start?

Setting up a blog certainly created overload for me!  I want to help people make use of this information to promote their ideas, learn, interact and have fun with.  There are so many people out there that either don’t know about stuff because they don’t care, have no time or are scared.
