At EdTech, we wanted to know which technologies have been the most useful for students to get the most out of their education. So, we asked three of them, all interns at CDW during the 2022-23 school year: What piece or set of technology will help you the most, or what piece of technology can you not live without?
One piece of tehnology I can’t live without…

Since embarking on my college endeavors, a piece of technology I cannot live without is my Apple iPad. Currently, I use an 11-inch iPad Pro with Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, which has 256GB of storage. It comes with an A12X Bionic chip that makes it extremely fast and compatible with high-processing tasks.
If you prepared a list of appliances you couldn't live without, how long would it be? Before you answer that question, imagine a typical day in your life. Did an alarm clock wake you this morning? Did you take a shower or brush your teeth? Did you grab a drink from the fridge? Has the heat or air conditioning kicked on yet to keep you comfortably warm or cool? Were the socks you put on fresh from the laundry room?
Let's explore 10 appliances that enhance our lives and take a glimpse at the how, when and why of their existence. Some of these choices may surprise you, but life for all of us would be very different without them.
The next time you make your midnight foray to the fridge for a piece of pie or a leftover burrito, consider what life would be like without that big cold box. You wouldn't have ice for your drink, and you wouldn't be to keep food fresh. Many of the staples you enjoy like eggs, milk, cheese, meat and butter would have to be purchased in small quantities or not at all. Expand this to the broader landscape, and much of the variety you see in your local market would be impossible to ship, store and sell before it spoiled. You might even have to resort to growing some food yourself to insure that you had a regular supply.
Now that you don't have to spend two hours a day scrubbing dirty clothes, straining your back and ruining your manicure, you can chat with your friends and family on the telephone, the next appliance we can't live without.
Technology changes so fast these days, it's hard to keep up! I went from Sony Walkman to a portable CD player to a mini-disc player to my first MP3 player (pre-iPod), to the first iPod Mini, and now I use a pink iPod Nano. And this was just in the past 15 years! I wonder what technology will replace my Nano... but I know for certain I can't live without the one I have now. Here is my list of the seven technologies we can't live without (at least for right now!)...
How did we live without any of these things, or without the microwave (for popcorn) or the flat-iron? Wow! Which of these technologies is the most important to you, and why? Which other technology do you love? Please let me know!
I would write a love letter to my cell phone. I absolutely love my cell phone. It is probably my most favorite invention in the entire world. I can not live without my cell phone and I do not intend to. I am the most dependant person when it comes to my phone, I use it constantly and I love the person who invented it. It has made so many things possible and we can get in touch with everyone that has cell phones, across the entire world. My cell phone can play games, browse the web, and download music, as well as play it.
My favorite piece of technology would have to be my cellular device, I love this thing like nothing else; it can do so many other things than calling people and texting someone. Most cell phones today can play music, has a bunch of games, can do amazing stuff with the camera and such. I could definitely live with just my cell phone, even though it does not have internet, it is still one of the main things that I use every day. I would definitely write a letter to my cell phone telling it that I love it very much, and even though I may drop it from time to time, I still treat it like it is part of my family, because it pretty much is part of my family, just like anything else that I love.
My favorite piece of technology is my cell phone. Phones are a way to keep in touch with friends that I see everyday, and friends that live far away. However, I would not write a letter to an inanimate object. I use my phone daily, and I freak out if I lose it, but I could live without it. I would think that anyone who writes love letters to inanimate objects is just plain crazy.
The lesson here is simple and profound: Productivity booms often lag behind technology. As Chad Syverson has documented, the same thing happened with electricity. Around the turn of the 20th century, electricity changed lives without really changing the economy much. Then, starting in 1915, there was a decade-long acceleration in productivity as economic actors began grafting electricity onto their operations. That boom, however, quickly tapered off.
Powering-down for a period of time provides an opportunity to reset and refocus appreciation and gratitude for the lives we have been given. It allows us to remember how to be happy without all the screens.
This is an excellent article! I really liked the statistics you had. It puts everything into perspective of how we really do dedicate a large piece of our lives to technology. I have 3 reasons myself as to why disconnecting improves my life greatly. You can check them out here -ways-unplugging-from-technology-can-benefit-your-life
Listeners select not only where they start and stop listening to a piece of music but also in what order they hear its sections. As recordings have progressed from tapes and records to compact discs, random access by listeners has become easier. Even in the early days of recording, however, the ordering of events in recorded music was more arbitrary than in live performance. At first multiple-record 78-rpm recordings were issued in two versions, one for record changers and the other for manual players. A manual-play set of three records would have sides 1 and 2 on the first disc, sides 3 and 4 on the second record, and sides 5 and 6 on the third. An automatic-play version of the same music would have sides 1 and 6 on one disc, sides 2 and 5 on the next, and sides 3 and 4 on the third. Sometimes people would be unable to obtain the correct set and might end up listening to standard repertoire with sections forever in a scrambled order.
A short while ago, a composer wrote a very difficult chamber piece. After rehearsing for several weeks, an excellent group in Boston was unable to get it much faster than half the indicated tempo. The composer was not perturbed. He had the group record it at half tempo, brought it into a digital editing studio, and emerged with a recording up to tempo. The sophisticated software he used was able to double the speed without affecting pitch, timbre, attack and decay times, or even vibrato rate. The composer then sent the tape and score, without any explanation of how the recording had been made, to an excellent ensemble in New York. This group worked for a long time on the piece, but got quite discouraged at their inability to match the Bostonians' performance. When they learned how the tape had been made, they were not too pleased with the composer.
Bugatti actually has been very successful and profitable in the last few years. The previous CEO [Stephan Winkelmann] did a really good job and left me a good company to continue building upon. So, profitability wasn't really the problem for Volkswagen. The problem was, what comes next? Because if you look at Bugatti, it's all based on the W-16 engine, which is almost two decades old. It is an amazing powerplant that created the hypercar business. The easiest thing for us would be to take the Nevera and slam a Bugatti logo on it and call it a day. But I was against it. I'm an electric car guy, but a Bugatti should still have a combustion engine for some time. But it will be developed in a way that is financially viable. We have developed everything in the Nevera from scratch. You will not find one piece in that car that you can find on another car, and we have done that on a shoestring budget compared to what, for example, Volkswagen has invested in the Chiron. We will do the same for future Bugattis, creating really exceptional products that are not comparable with anything else on the market, but without spending billions on them. That's really the key. Also, Bugatti is completely sold out until 2025. This is an incredibly good position to be in.
A new survey asked people what technology they couldn't live without, and high-speed broadband came in first. The Internet itself came in second. In other words, we like the Internet, but we like it coming in FAST even more.
You will see these types of lids sold with many European and British preserving jars. Some people say that in the parts of the world they live in, they can only buy one-piece lids and have no other option. 2ff7e9595c
