As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I've spent some time lately counting my digital blessings. Here's what I've appreciated so far.
Zoom
My video conferencing experience has been excellent but I suspect our Platform Of The Moment is a one-pandemic wonder. The problem with Zoom is that it doesn't have one, it's a solid B+ in all regards, but in such a competitive market I think the big winner will need to do more than just improve on Google Hangouts.
Editor's note - Blogger is a Google platform
Editor's note? What is this? I didn't ask for an editor, but maybe it comes free when you buy a URL.
Speaking of Google, now that I've taken myself off The Dark Web I've decided to see how long it takes before 'true on average' appears at its proper place atop the Google search results. Spoiler alert, it doesn't, which makes me question if Google is also a one-pandemic wonder.
I guess we remain in a state of 'iktsuarpok', at least as it relates to seeing TOA on those search results. In the meantime, if you want to learn about stock volatility, how to calculate a 'true average', or read about the sabermetric implications of the 2019 Toronto Blue Jays, just type 'true on average' into Google, you won't need to scroll far.
My flip phone
Folks, just a few weeks ago I could be overheard spreading rumors about my smart phone future but the bleakness of the past month has put such nonsense on hold. You mean something exists where I can talk and text, yet have no possibility of falling into a Youtube rabbit hole? Sign me up... well, keep me signed up, I guess.
That said, having the constant internet hookup isn't all bad, it's been cool to watch all these soccer 'highlights'... and I can separate fact from fiction in The Last Samurai now... maybe I'm sliding toward my smart phone destiny... let me get back to you on this one.
