9 Ways Technology has an Impact on Your Day

We all get used to our daily routines and take them for granted. You are just the same as others if you expect to have everything you need to complete your routines, including the technology that is so important, even if you do not realize it.

Think about what you do each day and just how much technology helps you to do it. There are so many activities where technology plays a pivotal role, including these nine most common examples.

Entertainment at your fingertips

From live streaming video to downloading music, technology plays a vital role in the entertainment you enjoy each day. Gaming is a form of entertainment that has become an important part of the daily routine for many people across the world. This could be a casino fan looking for an uudet kasinot 2020 in Finland (new online casino 2020 in the Finnish language). Alternatively, it could be an Xbox Game Pass holder in the US waiting for the launch of the Project Cloud game streaming service, in September 2020.

Instant answers to difficult questions

If you are like most people, you probably use Google on a regular basis, to answer the important questions in life like what the weather will be like.

Equally, Alexa has become a piece of tech that people love to question or instruct. There is even a hands-free Alexa app that is destined to make life simpler, although you do need to keep it open all the time to use it hands-free.

Exercise motivation

Depending on whether you love the adrenaline rush of exercise, or see it as a chore, you may need some motivation.

Fitness trackers provide this motivation, by telling how well you have done each day or informing you that you need to do more to keep on track with your daily goals. There is a fitness tracker to suit all needs and budgets, from more basic trackers like

Moov Now to more advanced models like Fitbit Charge 4.

Tickets and timetables

Travel is something that most of us do from time to time. For some people, it’s a daily activity, for work or leisure. If this applies to you, there is a good chance that you have used an app to check train times or book tickets to be delivered or to collect.

Finding the way

There was a time when finding directions involved buying a map or asking other people. Now, you can simply enable your location on your smartphone and type your destination into Google. You can even download other useful location finding tools such as a digital compass and maps.

Budgeting and finance

The works budgeting and finance may not be the first ones that you want to hear each day, but they are important. You can choose to go old school and use a pen and paper when you are budgeting.

However, it makes more sense to use the tech that you have available. There are some great money management apps around including Mint for overall money management, PocketGuard for basic budgeting and Personal Capital for tracking wealth and spending.

Feeling secure

We have all seen movies where someone is alone at night in the dark and thinks that they hear a strange noise. Nowadays, you can simply use smart home technology like voice-activated lights to allow you to see what is happening and feel more secure when you go to bed each night.

For some extra security, systems like Frontpoint and SimpliSafe help to keep intruders away. This makes it less likely that a break-in will become an addition to your routine.

Taking care of family

Babies are a big responsibility, day and night. This is why baby monitors are one piece of technology that no parent can be without. They are not a new invention; the first baby monitor was developed in 1937.

However, they have come a long way since then. Models like the Infant Optics DXR-8 provide longer range coverage, two-way talk and video monitoring with night vision.

Eating in or eating out

You are probably used to using apps like

DoorDash and Uber Eats when you want to order food to eat in. It’s a long way from when you had to use a phone or go out, to get takeout.

The eating out experience has also evolved thanks to technology with restaurants using digital POS (point of sale) systems and even digital menus on tablets.

Having read this article, you can start to see just how much impact technology has on your daily routine. Life would be very different without it.
