New Year’s Resolutions for My Electronic Gadgets:
1. Stop butt-dialing my doctor’s emergency line. I don’t think she likes it. (Turn off the screen on my phone.)
2. Use more voice commands. Why type everything? And those of us over 60 aren’t used to using two thumbs to enter everything on the phone.
3. Get my computer and phone to remember passwords. Last Pass is a good app for that, but I can’t remember ITS password.
4. Stop subscribing to TV streaming services just to see one show. Do you realize how hard it is to cancel them? Often you forget you have subscribed.
5. Record everything on cable and regular TV networks, even football games, and fast-forward them later to skip the commercials.
6. Don’t argue politics on Facebook. You won’t change anyone’s mind, and you will just make enemies and get frustrated. And don’t re-post scams like “I hereby don’t give Facebook permission to use my personal data.” They aren’t real.
7. Go straight to ChatGPT or another AI site to ask any and all questions. Forget Google search. Don’t understand something you have read elsewhere? Ask AI to explain it.
8. Stop hitting “Reply All” to group emails when you want to reach one person. It annoys everyone else.
9. The print on paper is too small? Just take a photo and look at it on your phone or tablet. Make online albums of recipes.
10. Have a sudden thought? Enter it in “notes.” Use voice commands if you can figure them out.
