All right folks, for the download button
00:12
on Technology Geek podcast.
00:15
And as always folks, you can catch all of our old shows
00:17
at thetechnologygeek.org
00:21
and where all find podcasts are available.
00:26
So a lot of news to talk about this week folks.
00:29
I’m really kind of, and I know, like as you start,
00:32
we should start with tech news,
00:33
but I won’t talk about the big news of the week.
00:36
Apparently the 24/7 wrestling channel on SiriusXM
00:43
is going to be, after SummerSlam,
00:46
this weekend is going to be rebranded to the WWE channel.
00:52
And apparently it’s going to be 24/7 wrestling.
00:54
Now it’s not going to all be WWE, I guess.
00:56
They’re still going to talk about other things.
00:58
at least that’s what the rumor is right now.
01:01
But I’m curious, this is gonna be fun to have a 24/7 WWE channel.
01:07
I’m looking forward to this.
01:09
WWE has, I mean, WWE is a big conversation piece
01:14
on the Wrestling Nation channel,
01:17
but it’s going to officially be the WWE Wrestling,
01:20
it’s gonna be WWE Wrestling channel on Serious XM,
01:23
come like right after SummerSlam.
01:27
So a lot of people who myself are looking forward to that.
01:31
Like I said, I hope it doesn’t change.
01:32
They do talk about a lot of other things on there,
01:35
like TNA wrestling, AEW, stuff like that.
01:37
I’m wondering, I don’t hope that doesn’t change.
01:40
Everybody, they’re saying it’s not going to change,
01:43
but we will have to watch here over the next couple of weeks
01:48
to see if that does change.
01:49
I hope it doesn’t because there’s so many other
01:51
good wrestling promotions out there as well.
01:53
It’s nice to give everybody the cover,
01:55
especially when you have 24/7 coverage.
01:58
Sam Roberts who is on WWE’s does the Raw show,
02:02
the Raw pre-show, post-show.
02:04
He’s going to be, his show is going to every day at noon now.
02:08
Busted open is gonna be every morning at nine.
02:10
So some of the shows that are only on one or two days a week
02:13
are going to five days a week now.
02:15
Like I said, we will see.
02:16
It looks really, really cool.
02:18
And kind of excited about that.
02:20
So that’s a little bit of news.
02:22
And of course, like I said,
02:23
weekend is SummerSlam. Also too interesting I want to talk about the
02:31
these are kind of big, for me anyway, big deals. HBO Max is going to be getting
02:37
into the vertical, they want to start doing shorts on their app and what they’re
02:44
going to do is they’re going to do shorts of pieces of their shows like snippets
02:48
of their shows to try to help viewership of other shows that are on their platform.
02:56
Now the reason why I think this is interesting is because Spotify has started
03:02
started doing this to help boost podcast views or you know listening of music
03:09
podcast shows all that and this has been a big thing on, originally started on
03:13
YouTube that’s been really helping a lot of videos out. Now I know you’re saying
03:18
vertical video didn’t start with YouTube.
03:20
I’m not saying it did, but the vertical video
03:24
and the short has really helped a lot of channels
03:29
on YouTube who were struggling a little bit.
03:32
So, one of the things, like a lot of times you’ll see
03:36
you know, a show that’s like an hour and a half
03:37
or two hours, but they’ll have two or three
03:40
little shorts every day from that episode
03:42
to kind of push people over to the long form video.
03:47
So I think this is kind of the plan that HBO is gonna try.
03:51
I know they’re saying Netflix is gonna start this.
03:55
So this is gonna actually be kind of a big thing
03:57
going forward and I think this is how,
04:00
like, you know, I’m sitting there watching, you know,
04:02
the Big Bang Theory and I catch a snippet
04:04
of another show I wanna watch, say Game of Thrones
04:07
and I like it.
04:08
I mean, oh, let me jump over and watch Game of Thrones.
04:10
So I think that’s where we’re headed and what’s going,
04:14
you know, this is gonna be kind of the new thing.
04:16
I think YouTube’s kind of proven that it works.
04:19
So I think now you’re gonna see other video platforms,
04:23
even ones that aren’t, you know,
04:27
user-based content driven like YouTube is,
04:30
you’re gonna see, they’re gonna do shorts
04:33
and stuff like that, vertical video
04:34
to try to help draw users to that,
04:38
to other shows on their platform to help retain,
04:42
you know, they don’t wanna, you know,
04:43
that’s the other thing too,
04:44
because they want people to find other things to watch
04:46
because they don’t want the churn rate.
04:49
That’s something that has been a very big issue
04:52
over on Apple is churn rate.
04:54
We talked about it last week,
04:55
but Apple has a very big problem of people coming,
04:58
watching what they want, leaving.
05:00
Where people on like say HBO and Netflix
05:04
and stuff like that, the churn rate is much lower.
05:07
The same thing with Series XM,
05:09
their churn rate is very low,
05:10
where certain platforms, the churn rate is unbelievable.
05:15
A lot of people believe that’s why ESPN got WWE
05:20
because WWE has shows every single month
05:22
and people will stay signed up just to see those shows.
05:26
That’s what they think is going on.
05:27
Now the numbers we’ll find out down the road,
05:31
but it’s one of those interesting things where
05:35
these short videos like this can really help a podcast,
05:39
can really help somebody with a new YouTube channel
05:42
that’s trying to get viewers on their long form videos,
05:44
stuff like that.
05:45
So I think that’s why they’re doing this
05:48
and it’s kind of proven to work on YouTube
05:50
so that other channels are doing it.
05:51
So I thought that was pretty interesting.
05:54
Also speaking of YouTube,
05:57
YouTube has announced that with YouTube Premium now,
06:00
you’re also gonna get Peacock.
06:03
Now, Peacock has kind of been the background,
06:08
the one you don’t see, it’s not as prevalent as HBO Max or Netflix, but it has, with the
06:14
help of WWE and with the help of some other stuff, they’ve creeped up to become to that,
06:20
I think they have like say, 450 million subscribers now. That’s pretty big for a service that
06:26
just started a couple years ago. It’s definitely, you know, on the, you know, it’s definitely
06:32
in contendership with something like, you know, Disney or Apple or any of those, now
06:37
they don’t have the user base, but what they are saying is that Peacock has less of a churn rate.
06:44
So again, you know, that whole thing of yeah, okay, we got a subscriber, but we haven’t lost
06:50
a subscriber, you know, that kind of thing. So that’s been interesting. They’re saying that,
06:54
you know, they’re doing this now to try to help bump their numbers. Because like I said, that’s
06:59
one of the things that a lot of people have been saying that, you know, Peacock has struggled to
07:05
to grow ever since they lost WWE and lost some other stuff.
07:08
So now they have Sunday baseball
07:10
and they’ve managed to also get some other people in there.
07:15
You’ll get some other shows in there
07:17
and now they’re partnering with some other channels
07:19
and stuff like that to try to, you know,
07:23
other services try to bring up their subscriber numbers.
07:26
It’s been a challenge for Peacock.
07:29
Like I said, they’ve got some more good shows on there now
07:32
that’s helped a lot tremendously.
07:33
And they’ve also, like I said, partnering with YouTube,
07:36
partnering with, I think they partnered with somebody else
07:38
recently, oh, Walmart.
07:40
That was on Walmart recently.
07:42
I was trying to think of it, but I couldn’t.
07:44
But they’re still a part of Walmart now.
07:46
So if you have Walmart, you can also get Peacock.
07:49
So they’re definitely a company that, OK,
07:52
we need to keep growing.
07:53
How can we keep growing since we lost this?
07:56
Well, let’s try this, this, this, and this.
07:58
Also to speaking of Peacock Lost NXT premium live events apparently now
08:05
premium live events for NXT are going to be going on ESPN now so that’s interesting as well.
08:13
ESPN announced, there’s been a lot of news this week on on the streaming services.
08:18
ESPN announced that they are going to be stopping for the first free hour on ESPN now at WWE.
08:25
So WWE for the longest time, their first hour was always free on ESPN.
08:30
And then the rest of the show went to ESPN Unlimited.
08:34
Apparently, they’re saying, guess what?
08:37
Everything’s going to Unlimited.
08:38
So no more free first hour on ESPN anymore.
08:42
That’s kind of done.
08:43
WWE announced that the other day.
08:45
So pretty interesting.
08:47
I kind of figured that was going to–
08:49
and the way this kind of works, folks, is they do–
08:52
what they do is they’ve been doing it for a couple of months.
08:54
So they’re like, okay, we’ve had like three or four premium events.
08:58
The first hour was free on ESPN. How many subscribers did we get that day right after that between that,
09:06
you know, that after that first hour was over? Um, it’s the same. And by the way,
09:09
this isn’t a new business model, by the way. Uh, did we did this for years with their pay per views on,
09:16
when they did pay per view before this, uh, they would do like the first 15 minutes was free
09:21
and then it would cut you off. So again, not a new business model, but they were trying the first
09:27
hour free on ESPN. And what they probably did is, you know, okay, that last the first time we did it,
09:33
we got a ton of subscribers. Second time we did it, ton of subscribers. Third time we did it,
09:37
not as much. So then list passed and felt like, yeah, we didn’t really get that much signups.
09:41
All right, let’s just do away with it and put everything on unlimited. So
09:45
that’s kind of the way those things work. Like I said, not really a new business model.
09:48
WWE has been doing it forever, but you know, they were trying to get on ESPN. So
09:54
Again, I thought pretty big. I thought it was pretty cool big news there for that. So we like I said, I mean we that was
10:02
There’s been a lot of big news this week as far as content and all that goes
10:07
some other things as well is
10:10
Microsoft
10:12
having a big outage
10:14
the Xbox outage and of course I
10:17
Happened over the weekend, of course when they have one of their you know, they’re their flagship games
10:23
First of all that did not look real good for them
10:25
But the second thing as well that did not look good for them and this I thought was was kind of crazy
10:30
And I think it’s very important to talk about
10:33
Microsoft a lot of people were saying even they would put their game discs in and they still weren’t working
10:41
Sort of that
10:44
So people got really upset about that a couple people were like well wait a minute. I don’t understand
10:49
Why are my game disk not working if the service is down?
10:54
So Microsoft made an announcement deal that believe it was yesterday
10:57
Therefore that they are going to be working on a solution now
11:03
For this problem where even if you don’t have any connectivity to the internet and even if Xbox should go down again
11:09
Your CDs will still work your your physical disc media people are really in up in arms over this physical disc media between PlayStation
11:16
Announcing they’re gonna stop it and Microsoft
11:19
You know a lot of people think that Microsoft’s gonna stop it soon as well
11:23
People really up in arms of well. She had to be kidding me
11:25
So even though I buy the physical disc because I because the Xbox Network is down
11:29
I can’t even play my games. So and it was a long outage – I think it was it lasted overnight. So
11:39
about that and you know Microsoft really does need to really focus on this because you know
11:47
they really upset a lot of their customers and you know people were upset. I mean Microsoft
11:53
just had their earnings call and they’re talking about how you know Xbox you know dropped revenue
11:59
again and but they’re still up like you know 18 or 20 percent year over year so I mean Microsoft’s
12:05
earning the money, they need to invest it into the people that are supporting their
12:11
products. And especially Xbox. As Xbox is really taking a hit, they have a lot of layoffs,
12:16
a lot of studios left, and some of that. So Microsoft really needs to really reorganize
12:22
and kind of really focus on this kind of stuff. By the way too, it is important to realize
12:29
too that, you know, Microsoft is competing pretty hard now with Xbox and, I’m sorry,
12:36
with PlayStation.
12:37
And they’re going to lose the market share they have to PlayStation and Nintendo if these
12:42
kind of things continue.
12:44
So very important for them to really double down and say, “Hey, we’ve got to protect
12:49
the, you know, the customers we have.”
12:51
Also too, it’s also kind of neat too that Double Fine is as laid off more than half of
12:59
the– I think they have 42 employees and now they cut them down to 23.
13:04
Those of you that don’t know, Double Fine went ahead and left Microsoft.
13:09
They got some money.
13:11
I think they got funding from– I don’t know where they got it from, but they got funding
13:14
and they took their games, their IPs and everything and spun off.
13:20
apparently they had a cut. They had 42 people that cut down to 23. So a little
13:25
more than half of their their people they cut. Well guess what folks? Like
13:30
that means that somebody was sitting around the office and the accounting
13:35
people like well guess what? We brought in this much this you know on our
13:39
intellectual property and on our games and all this and we’re burning this
13:43
much. So how can we cut back so that we can you know you know not be in the red
13:52
because remember they only have so much runway with the money they got so they
13:56
have to do something so it’s the fortunate that they had a cut to staff
13:59
like they did but without much without Microsoft money behind you you know the
14:05
game they do have two popular games two or three popular games but still it’s
14:10
One of those things where it’s like, well, you know,
14:13
we’re burning this much a month.
14:16
Where could we cut?
14:17
And unfortunately, the only thing that cuts are help.
14:19
It’s pretty crazy to think about too,
14:20
because they went off on their own
14:22
to try to help save employees
14:24
and they ended up having to cut themselves.
14:25
So it just kind of shows you that,
14:28
and there’s another studio too that I believe
14:29
this is gonna happen at too.
14:30
So it just kind of shows you Microsoft
14:33
maybe did have to cut because it seems like
14:36
just these couple independent studios that went on their own
14:39
aren’t making enough to sustain.
14:41
So maybe the Microsoft cuts weren’t as misguided
14:47
as we all thought.
14:49
Just some food for thought there.
14:51
Like I said, it’s just weird that these studios
14:54
that have broken off and taken all the employees with them
14:56
have had to cut employees.
14:57
That’s all I’m saying.
14:58
Like I said, I’m not saying it’s good.
14:59
I hate to see anybody lose their jobs.
15:01
We’re seeing this day and age,
15:02
but I’m wondering maybe if Microsoft was on the right path
15:05
with this, where they kind of had to do something.
15:10
Another couple of big things. First of all, the the metaglasses are being banned at Defcon.
15:17
Apparently Defcon has announced that any way that wears them will be asked to take them off
15:24
or just don’t wear them if you’re coming. It’s gonna be tough if people, people like us,
15:29
a lot of people wear prescription lenses. I hope you have a backup pair if you go into Defcon
15:34
because they’re saying we are not allowing people to bring them with them. We don’t trust. AI is
15:38
Especially among security people,
15:40
a lot of people don’t trust it.
15:41
And especially in a place like Def Con,
15:43
I can imagine a lot of those people
15:45
are not going to want to have AI glasses
15:47
looking at them at all times.
15:48
Especially with the, especially at something like Def Con
15:52
where we know, you know, there are, you know,
15:57
Facebook’s easy to give away data
15:58
and so that needs to use data.
16:01
And I agree with this on a test.
16:03
Especially at something like Def Con
16:04
where they have games like Spot the Fed and stuff like that.
16:07
I definitely don’t disagree with them not allowing the Ray-Ban.
16:12
So very, you know, again, I like them, I tried them,
16:16
but it’s definitely not something I would continue.
16:19
You know, it was just like the Google Glass.
16:21
It was too intrusive and all that.
16:23
Now, Facebook saying that glasses
16:26
are gonna replace people’s cell phones
16:28
in the next five years.
16:31
I don’t see that happening.
16:32
I think that’s Mark Zuckerberg kind of blowing smoke,
16:34
but I do see a lot of more people wearing them now.
16:38
So, you know, it’s one of those things.
16:41
But I think if Apple does it, it’ll be better
16:43
’cause Apple’s more security focused than Facebook is.
16:46
But we will have to see that.
16:48
That’s obviously, we don’t even have confirmation
16:51
of that yet, but that’s what people are saying.
16:52
So we will have to see on that one.
16:56
Also too, one of the things I would like to point out,
16:58
those of you that are fans of the show
17:01
and have seen a lot of my YouTube videos of that,
17:04
You know I’m a big fan of Winamp.
17:07
Winamp apparently announced the other day
17:10
that they’re a long way away,
17:11
but they apparently by next year,
17:14
they’re going to be a standalone music player,
17:18
and apparently they’re going to integrate with Deezer.
17:21
So apparently Winamp not only will play your local MP3
17:24
you know, collection, which many of us have,
17:28
but it will also be able to use Deezer as well.
17:31
Now the reason why I’m bringing this up is,
17:34
One, I think it’s really cool and I will probably pay for this somehow shape or form just to
17:38
support Winamp because I love Winamp.
17:41
But very important to point this out because a lot of us, this used to what Winamp is doing
17:52
is not that far from what Microsoft Groove was doing.
17:57
We talked about this a couple weeks ago.
18:00
actually was really neat because you could have your own MP3s with music
18:06
that you got from Groove and you could combine the two. Now Spotify used to have
18:11
that but they’ve kind of gotten away from it a little bit. You can still do it
18:14
but it’s they really they make it very difficult and I think they do that on
18:20
purpose so that people don’t do it. Also as well you know Apple has iTunes
18:26
match which is something I as well YouTube I’m sorry Google music YouTube
18:33
music now had it as well but they started getting away from it a little
18:37
bit you still can do it I still have mine saved up there but you can you can
18:42
do they have that service well so there are services out there for this but I
18:46
think Winamp really is nice because it’s simple it’s basic you just point it to
18:52
your mp3s and you can play whatever you want so I really think that YouTube the
18:56
the simplicity of it is what makes it is kind of the beauty of it where with you
19:00
know itunes match sometimes the metadata doesn’t match and you know it won’t work
19:04
or even um I guess it’s sometimes in some of these other services like I
19:10
haven’t myself a few times in in in YouTube music where if somebody’s having
19:15
trouble playing my low you know can’t find the metadata and some of that or
19:19
sometimes it skips over it if it can’t read the file because it’s in a weird
19:22
format where like I said Winamp just does it and doesn’t ask questions. I think that’s the power of
19:28
Winamp but I also think them partnering with Deezer and doing that whole thing with Deezer of
19:35
trying to say okay you know here’s our you know here’s our you know here’s your library but if
19:42
you also want to list this other Deezer you can. They’re also going to be partnering as well they’re
19:46
are staying with other companies for radio.
19:50
They haven’t talked about which company
19:51
they’re partnering with yet.
19:53
A lot of people think it’s going to be either,
19:56
probably either one of those third,
19:58
it’s either gonna be iHeartRadio
20:00
or possibly one of those third party,
20:03
like some kind of third party radio repository
20:06
that we haven’t really talked about or isn’t that popular.
20:09
‘Cause it’s weird that they, I mean,
20:10
they picked Deezer over anybody else.
20:13
And Deezer is a big company, but it’s not a huge company.
20:16
So I’m curious to see if they’re going to go with another smaller company.
20:21
We’ll see.
20:23
You know, it could be anybody, but they are saying that they they want.
20:27
They are relaunching.
20:28
They’re saying that they’ve been working on relaunching for a couple of years now
20:32
and that they are looking forward to, you know, being a standalone music
20:37
player for desktop and on the phone, especially they say, especially desktop.
20:41
So I’m watching this closely.
20:43
I’m very curious.
20:44
I am really excited about it and I have been promoting it for a while
20:49
But we will have to see like I said, what what happens?
20:54
By the way folks at one thing I want to think I’d like to point out too about technology my wife and I we went on a trip
21:00
This past week this past weekend took a long weekend and went on a trip
21:05
The reason why I’m bringing this up is I was really really interesting how technology
21:10
You know has changed things years ago
21:12
You know get tour guides and stuff like that
21:15
The recent, we went on vacation recently,
21:18
we went to Salem, Massachusetts,
21:20
and what’s really interesting about this,
21:22
why I’m bringing it up is we went to the visitor center
21:26
because we were doing a trolley tour,
21:28
then after that we were gonna do a walking tour.
21:30
And what’s so neat is as you walk by these places,
21:33
you scan the bar code, the QR codes,
21:36
and it gives you all the information.
21:39
There’s even MP3s that you can get
21:41
that if you scan, it’ll play a video,
21:43
and as you walk the path that they have laid out,
21:46
like the yellow, it’s like a yellow line you follow
21:50
through Salem, and it tells you where to start and stop.
21:53
And as you’re walking, you can have your phone
21:55
playing the audio and stuff like that,
21:57
telling you on your left, you see this,
21:59
and it gives you all the history.
22:00
And then look over here, you see that,
22:01
if you continue walking, go down the street,
22:04
on the left, you’ll see, when you’re in front of the building,
22:07
you’ll see this, and that thing’s guiding you
22:10
while you’re walking.
22:12
It’s really great. They call them self-guided tours.
22:15
This is really popular now.
22:17
Again, my wife and I don’t go on vacation that often,
22:19
but it was really neat to go to a historical place
22:23
and have these self-guided tours.
22:25
Years ago, you’d have to get a tour guide and some of that.
22:27
Now I enjoy the trolley ride where I’m driving around
22:29
and the guy’s telling me everything.
22:31
I don’t think it’s a replacement necessarily
22:33
for the tour guide,
22:36
but if you’re somebody who has an hour or two to kill
22:39
and maybe doesn’t wanna spend the money on a guide,
22:41
you could do this self-guided walking tour yourself
22:45
by just scanning these QR codes.
22:47
So I think it’s really wonderful
22:49
how technology sometimes could really be helping hand,
22:54
especially for people who wanna learn
22:56
and wanna take a tour or even go on a trip
23:00
or even find out about their local history
23:02
and without having to spend a lot of money on a guide
23:06
or on a tour or anything like that.
23:08
because some of those tour guided tours are,
23:12
can be quite pricey.
23:14
I know my friend just went on a tour
23:17
and I think they said it was a couple hundred bucks a day
23:20
for the group he was with just for the tour guide.
23:23
Now the tour guide grant is with you the whole day
23:25
and giving you everything and all that stuff.
23:27
But this is, you know, a very,
23:30
you know, it’s a very important thing.
23:32
If you go, I’m trying to say, we’re in these tours.
23:34
You know, you’re going to a place,
23:35
you wanna learn the history,
23:36
They had to learn something.
23:38
You know, I know some people just go to these places
23:40
for the shopping or for the ride or whatever like that,
23:43
but myself being a history person, it’s nice.
23:46
And the other thing that’s even nice too,
23:48
is they even have, like I said,
23:49
if you know about these places
23:51
and maybe you can’t afford to go,
23:52
you could still get the audio and the pictures and stuff
23:55
and at least learn something even if you can’t afford to go.
23:58
Some people that can’t afford to go on vacation
24:00
is just too expensive in this current environment.
24:02
So I guess it’s really nice
24:05
and it’s really interesting to be able to have
24:08
these self-guided tours.
24:09
And some people do like the self-guided tours.
24:12
You know, tour guides don’t run 24/7.
24:15
Maybe somebody, maybe, you know,
24:16
if you’re on a long trip, you might wanna say,
24:18
okay, every night after dinner,
24:19
we’ll do an hour through the town.
24:21
And you’re able to kinda say, okay, we started here,
24:23
let’s do here, let’s do here,
24:25
and it gives you all the history of it and all that.
24:27
And I think it’s a wonderful thing.
24:29
It gives people the freedom and the availability
24:33
to be able to do things at your own pace
24:36
and your own leisure.
24:37
So, I liked it.
24:40
The other thing too, folks, is that I thought personally,
24:43
I was able to get a map and they tell you
24:46
where things are and they give you a little bit
24:48
of information, but you really appreciate the GPS.
24:53
Growing up in an era before GPS, 41,
24:57
so when I was younger we didn’t have GPS,
24:59
’cause it was maps and all that kind of stuff.
25:01
But I think especially nowadays
25:04
Having the GPS and being able to plan out the trip of saying, okay, this is here. This is here. This is here
25:11
How do we get to these places?
25:12
You know and you could set the route in your phone and walk along the phone walks along with you and tells you how far away
25:18
It is and where you know bathrooms are things like that
25:22
I think that’s a really bit to me. Anyway, that’s a big deal because I grew up in an era where you know, you didn’t have all that so
25:30
Like I said, I’ve really enjoyed it and glad to get away and it’s good to take tech with you sometimes
25:35
I did try to stay off of social media and things like that. I did try to enjoy the vacation
25:40
One of the things I’m a big fan of is actually digital detox
25:44
They call it where you know, we put our devices down for a little bit now grant that I would did use of a GPS
25:50
And some of that but I was trying not to look at my email all time trying not to do this trying not to you know
25:55
Get on X trying not to get on you know, Facebook things like that
25:58
I try and Instagram, trying to avoid the distraction
26:00
and kind of be in the moment,
26:03
especially on a trip like that.
26:04
I really am a firm believer in digital detox.
26:07
I also too, like I said, I don’t wear Apple Watch anymore.
26:10
I wear just regular digital watch to be less connected.
26:13
And what’s interesting about that is
26:16
a couple of my friends who are really into tech
26:20
have started doing the same thing
26:21
where they bought watches and stuff like that
26:24
where they rather just, you know, have a regular watch
26:28
rather than a digital watch,
26:30
just because it helps you feel a little less plugged in
26:33
where you don’t have, you know,
26:34
you don’t always have every bing,
26:35
you’re not looking at your wrist and stuff like that.
26:37
I know the argument is,
26:39
well, you don’t take your phone out of your pocket,
26:41
but I think to a certain degree,
26:42
it does give you that little bit of a space gap,
26:46
I guess you could say, you know,
26:48
so I think that is, so some people that’s important,
26:51
myself it is, I really do enjoy that whole digital detox thing that they talk about and
26:59
I think it’s really important.
27:01
I’m on the computer more than I’m on my phone, especially with what I do for living and stuff
27:06
like that, but I know there are a lot of people specifically that just are on their phone all
27:11
day just doom scrolling and that’s not healthy.
27:13
I’m going to be kind of wrapping it up a little bit.
27:16
I guess that I want to thank you all for listening and we will see you on the next episode of the technology geek.
27:23
Thank you very much.
