How has technology changed your job?

Daily Prompt 2024

Technology has become a big part of our world. It isn’t easy to live without it. But it should be a tool and not something you can’t let go. Some people can’t even walk without a phone in their hand. It can be dangerous, and anyone can hit you with a car. The worst thing is seeing young kids looking at their phones while walking. Don’t parents teach them anything? I’m glad I lived when technology wasn’t around the same way it is now. Some things are easier today, so technology is a good thing. It has helped me a lot.

If I had a job, technology would be part of it. I’m in an entrepreneurial course at the moment, and we get the material through email, so there isn’t much need to take notes. I find it hard to write and listen at the same time, which is the reason why I never became a journalist. Being an introvert, technology is a big help. For example, you can text people instead of calling them. But sometimes, you still need to talk on the phone, though. Calling strangers isn’t my thing; it never was. You know who calls you, which you couldn’t do before mobiles. That’s the best part about modern technology.

I want to have a job that you use with technology. I want to do something that says, Buy Now! I don’t know if anyone wants to pay for my work. That’s one of the reasons why I haven’t started my own business. Being unemployed has its own problems when it comes to becoming an entrepreneur. It would be easier if I had a job, but since I don’t, the financial side of it is uncertain. I don’t want to be in the job search circus anymore. There are many reasons why I don’t, but I won’t get into detail. Technology doesn’t help in job search. It might be easier to send applications through the Internet, but employers want more than someone who knows how to use technology. You do it yourself if you want to get something out of life. That’s how I write fan fiction, I didn’t find stories interesting enough, so I wrote one the way I wanted. The same goes for becoming an entrepreneur. You get to do things the way you want.

Without technology or the Internet, all this (blogging, sharing things) wouldn’t be possible. It should be a tool, and the same goes for AI in the future. It is a different matter if someone wants to exploit that for their evil plan. But let’s hope it won’t get that far.

  1. Verb (1): To verify or examine something, as in “She checks her email every hour.”
  2. Noun (1): A written order to a bank to pay a stated sum from the drawer’s account, as in “She wrote a check to pay the rent.”
  3. Noun (2): A pattern of small squares, as in “She wore a skirt with a check pattern.”

With Gemini

The word “checks” can have many different meanings depending on the context. Here are some of the most common:

Financial:

  • Software development: Running tests to identify errors in code.
  • Research: Verifying the accuracy and validity of data.
  • Fashion: Checks can refer to a specific type of plaid pattern.

End note: Maybe writing things from your own head is better. AI is a good tool, but it won’t replace people.

Bloganuary: Asking Help with iPhone Bluetooth problem

What could you do differently?

Bloganuary 2024

What I wish I had done differently was getting that package I ordered to the post office instead of pick up point. My Bluetooth doesn’t work on my iPhone, so I can’t get it out of the locker. I’ve tried a lot of different ways to fix the problem. Updating the software, and reloading the phone. It seems like I’m the only one with the same problem. I even went to the store where I bought my mobile, but they didn’t know what to do either. They gave me a number to call, but what good will that do? I have time until January 12 to get the package or it will go back to the sender. Sigh, I’m lost. I doubt anyone here can help how to get my Bluetooth to work on my mobile. It goes on and off again. The Bluetooth, that is. If something is broken, I’m not gonna buy a new phone just because of that. I reset the network connection, but still Bluetooth won’t work. If I factory reset the mobile, I must start again. All the fuss with the apps and passwords. Seem too much work. It might still not work. Sometimes, technology makes me crazy. Why aren’t these things never clear?! Since the Bluetooth doesn’t work, I can’t download photos to my Mac laptop. Maybe it’s a total lost cost. Does anyone have any ideas about what to do? Or are you as lost as I am about this problem?

What irritates me the most is the package that I can’t get out of the locker because of a Bluetooth problem. I was so looking forward to the product I bought. If I only could get it some other way, but I guess it’s too late. The product is sold out, so I can’t order it again. Not a very fun way to start a year. No Bluetooth, no ordered package. This is not a problem I wanted to start with, but there you go.
