SEC-S18W4/My tools to shine

Thank you Shine with Steem for bringing up such a shining topic in the 4th week of challenges which will let me tell you about some of my gadgets and tools that I use on a daily basis.

I agree with you when you say:

"Technology has made many things easier for us because it has provided us with tools that are capable of carrying out tasks in a very short time. All these tools help me to be more productive and efficient."

At this point in time I would like to invite my learned friends @elcebe @princelafresh and @ahlawat to tell us about their favorite gadgets but I would love to mention here that this contest post has been specially done on the invitation by @saintkelvin17

🌟 What technological tools do you use in your daily life? (Computers, cell phones, tablets, drones, smartwatches, etc.)

There is a long list of tools that I am not sure I could complete in this post, but since you have asked, let me list as many as possible.

My list begins with my laptop, and my phone, I had two until last Tuesday, but I have only one now. My two cameras, one a Canon DLSR and the other a Sony Cybershot, and also the camera on my phone. Of course, I use a router for fast connectivity, a smartwatch, which is a Fitbit mostly used for monitoring my workouts, and a recently added treadmill in my sitting room.

Suppose you think about the other electronic tools that make my life easy. In that case, I can list my Robocleaner as one of them, along with my washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, microwave oven, carpet cleaner, mopes, cars, my two-wheeler, and the list goes on, as they all help me save time and use them to shine in my life. I am thankful to these tools for making me shine.

  

🌟 In what situations do you use them?

Having given you the idea of the tools that make my life easy, I will limit my use of tools that help me shine online, so I feel my laptop comes first on the list, followed by my phone, and of course, being a travel blogger, my cameras and external hard drives that keep my data safe, so I use them as and when I need them.

I use my laptop for my offline and online work; however, I have stopped working offline since May 21st, 2024, so now I am using it mostly for my online work besides personal work like banking, shopping, and paying my bills. I use them in all situations, whether for blogging, personal necessities, or entertainment purposes.

  

🌟Why do these tools make your life easier?

I am sure if you can give the command to your robot cleaner to clean the house whether you're in or out of the house, I think it will help me save another hour that I can use for creative work, or when my washing machine and dryer can do the laundry for me, why would I waste my time on these petty jobs.

I can say the same about my kitchen gadgets, like a toaster, air fryer, microwave oven, gas oven, and dishwasher, that do their work when I am sitting at my workstation. I can add my refrigerator to the list, which keeps everything fresh.

  

🌟 On your computer, cell phone, tablet, or any device: What applications do you usually use and how do they help you? (Including chat applications, social networks, office packages, games, etc.)

Now we come to the gadgets we all use for productivity. My laptop is the first and only one that I use for blogging, as I use my phone just for calling and texting. My phone has no role in my blogging apart from staying connected with my family and friends through various apps like Discord, WhatsApp, Amazon, Paytm, etc. (again, there is a long list of such apps installed on my phone).

I have apps like Facebook, Instagram, and whatnot, but I seldom use them apart from the X platform (Twitter) on its desktop version. I used Jeera for official purposes and still have it, but at the moment it's gone in the background since I have nothing official to work on.

As far as web browsers are concerned, I have six, and I use all of them for different purposes, starting with Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Brave, Firefox, and two more. I use different emails for different purposes, but Gmail is my favorite although I started with Yahoo Mail in 1998 when I bought my first desktop computer that had a hard disc of 4.6 GB, and I still have that email.

🌟 Imagine that you cannot use any of your technological or manual tools for a week... How much would it affect your productivity?

If you had asked this question three weeks ago, the answer would be different, but today I can say, "Yes, it will definitely make a difference, but I will survive for one week as I am already in a cyber detox mood and planning to go out for my love of traveling. Had it not been so hot, which is in the range of 35–45 in most parts of the country, I would have gone by now, but I am waiting for the heat wave to reduce a bit before I commence my travel schedule.

But yes, that week would not be easy, as we all have gotten so used to using gadgets that life would be heck without them and almost impossible for a longer duration. It will not only affect my productivity but kill it entirely, as I have tried to write on paper, and now it feels like an uphill task, so I use pens rarely to make grocery lists or sign on dotted lines while filling out forms.
