Technology you don't have to think about

Bryan Braun:

Much of our technology has small hidden costs. A new app on your phone...a recommended cleaning every six months, recurring manual software updates, monthly emails in your inbox...parts that need replaced, a small monthly fee, a new username and password, batteries to recharge, parts to recycle, etc, etc.

This is so true.

Here’s what businesses used to ask from me in exchange for their goods:

• Money

Now this is what they ask for:

• Download our app
• Setup (yet another) username/password
• Get on our mailing list (emails & texts)
• Join our loyalty program

After all that, I get my thing.

I’m tired of technology that trades one set of problems for another. I want that technology you don’t have to think about.
