@nprofile…4agx I miss my BlackBerry 10 phones so much. I owned almost all of them at one point or another, but I kept coming back to the Q10. Typing on glass will always frustrate me.

I have cancelled all but one of my streaming video subscriptions in an effort to save money. I wanted to watch a certain movie but didn’t have a physical or digital copy, and didn’t want to purchase it. Suddenly, I remembered that libraries exist. Today I walked to the library and checked out a few movies on Blu-ray and DVD. For free. I feel strangely powerful. Support - and use - your local library.

If you bought a "normally" $500 item on sale for $300 that you had no intention of buying or didn't even know existed until you saw it advertised on sale, you didn't save $200, you spent (lost) $300.
Don't let ads manipulate you into parting with your money for stuff you don't really need.

I'm a #Xennial - born between 1977 and 1983. A micro-generation between #GenerationX and #Millenials.
I have had the benefit of an #analog childhood and #digital adulthood. I remember what the world was like before the #Internet, #smartphones, and #ChatGPT. It wasn't all good, but it wasn't all bad, either. I miss some things about analog life, but I also appreciate the conveniences of digital life.
I'm constantly trying to find the right balance between the two.
I like #technology and #gadgets. I marvel at the tremendous good being done with #tech and the promise of a brighter future. But people are also using tech for nefarious and evil purposes.
It's important to understand technology, be aware of and manage its risks, and use it responsibly to benefit humankind and protect this beautiful planet on which we all live.
I'm just sharing information and observations from my own journey as we navigate this era together.
