Happy New Year! If you are reading this post, we at Deemable Tech will assume you made it home safely last night.
Ready to make 2013 New Year’s Resolutions? Instead of swearing of chocolate and bread for the year, why not make some improvements in your use of technology?
Here are a few resolutions to get you started:
- I will protect and upkeep my electronics.
Did you make out like a bandit and get lots of cool stuff for Christmas? Now is the time to buy a screen protector and a case, my friend.
- I will do my research before buying a new gadget.
It’s the best/shiniest/biggest/smallest version ever! Do you need it at the midnight release or can it wait six months for the price to drop? Stay tuned to our site and we’ll keep you in the loop.
- I will put down my cellphone / tablet / e-reader when interacting with friends and family.
Work on building personal relationships instead of beating their high score on Words with Friends.
- I will set up automated banking so I can save up for the next gadget and pay my bills on time.
In the age of online banking and virtual billing statements, it is easier than ever to set up a firm financial foundation. Services such as SmartyPig can provide a seamless way to automatically take $10 or $15 and sock it away until you save enough for a bigger television or the next laptop.
- I will organize my email inbox.
Do you have hundreds of emails in your inbox? Start the year off by eliminating some of the digital clutter you’ve accrued. You can delete the newsletter from March 2012, we promise.
- I will change my passwords monthly.
Want to make it easy for a stranger to access your email, banking information, and social media accounts? Use a different password for each one and change it every month or two. It will make it more difficult for you to remember your passwords but it will also provide a deterrent to unauthorized users hacking your accounts.
What are your New Year’s Resolutions? Let us know in the comments.
I’d like to speak to you about this, but I’m too busy playing DrawSomething….
Kate, I guess we will need to schedule a meeting on Skype to address your comment.
These are actually great ideas in on the topic of blogging.
You have touched some good points here. Any way keep up
wrinting.
