One piece of technology that has generally transformed my life is my tablet, specifically the iPad I bought a couple years ago. Although it might seem like another digital device, but it has become an essential tool that I rely on almost every day. I first started using it around two years ago when I realized that carrying heavy books and laptops everywhere was becoming impractical. At that time I was juggling university, work, online courses and some freelance jobs, for I needed something lightweight yet powerful. Fredon recommended me this tablet, and from the moment I set it up I understood why so many people swear by it. Nowadays I use it multiple times a day, often for completely different purposes. In the morning I usually read articles or textbooks, during the day I take notes with is stylus, attend online meetings, and manage my schedule. And in the evening, I typically wind down by watching a series or listening to podcasts. It has essentially replaced several devices like my notebook, my laptop, or light task, and even my TV. The reason this technology has improved my life so dramatically is that it has made my entire routine far more efficient and organized. Instead of switching between countless physical books, notebooks, and gadgets, I have everything nearly started in one place and this is why I believe that this technology is completely beneficial.
