Remembering that all these cool devices actually enrich our lives

I sit here writing this on a MacBook Pro, a laptop computer. But how long will it be before I'll be able to truly, genuinely do the same on a smartphone or a tablet? As we cover these devices day in, day out, it's easy to get swept up in the latest nerdy thing, the hottest new piece of hardware, apps or the next event we'll be taken to that will start the cycle all over again. It's easy to ignore just how much these devices actually enrich our lives.

I found myself in a discussion with my not-so-tech-savvy mother recently, describing in simple terms how the LG G3 in my hand has as much, maybe more "power" than the couple-years-old Windows laptop she uses at home. How it's no longer just a phone, but a communication tool, but a genuine personal computing device – she likes to ask how work is going and the conversation started to run away with itself.
