7 Tech Trends to Be Thankful for Today

7 Tech Trends to Be Thankful for Today Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Dell Ac Adapter
Most of the year, what do we do? We sit around and grouse about our technology. “My calls drop!” “The WiFi is so slow!” “Apple changed the design of its laptop power connectors again!”
But today is Thanksgiving! Today is the day to sit back, pat our tummies, and ponder all the good things tech has brought us. And if you really think about it, there’s actually quite a lot to be grateful for.
At one point, 69 percent of all smartphone thefts reported in San Francisco with such as Dell Vostro 2510 AC Adapter, Dell Studio 1745 AC Adapter, Dell Studio 1536 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude E6500 AC Adapter, Dell Precision M90 AC Adapter, Dell XPS M1710 AC Adapter, Dell 9T215 AC Adapter, Dell N5825 AC Adapter, Dell K9060 AC Adapter, Dell 9T458 AC Adapter, Dell Vostro 3500 AC Adapter, Dell RX929 AC Adapter, and 40 percent in New York City, involved stolen iPhones.
Then, in 2013, Apple introduced a feature it called activation lock. What a brilliant, incredibly simple idea: Thieves can’t erase, jailbreak, or restore an iPhone without knowing your Apple password. And if they can’t erase an iPhone, they can’t resell it. And if they can’t resell it, why would they bother stealing it in the first place?
You might never even realize that this feature is protecting you—but it’s been disastrous for the thieves. Within months of activation lock’s introduction, iPhone robberies dropped 40 percent in San Francisco, 30 percent in New York City, and 50 percent in London. (During the same period, the rate of stolen Samsung Galaxy phones [without kill switches] increased.)
California, impressed, passed a new law making this “kill switch” feature mandatory in all phones—and today, similar features are in, or coming soon, to phones from Google, Samsung, and Microsoft.
The bottom line is that if your phone hasn’t been stolen, it may well be because of a feature you didn’t even know was working for you.
I wonder if any environmental scientist has ever tallied up the millions of tons of carbon dioxide that Google Maps has kept out of the atmosphere—by eliminating mindless driving around, lost?
I wonder if anyone appreciates that only eight years ago, getting real-time traffic data shown by the road colors in Google Maps, cost $80 a year on GPS units?
I wonder if anyone realizes how great the Google Maps app is, even if you never go anywhere—because it incorporates a global Yellow Pages of information about every business everywhere? Store hours, phone numbers, even photos.
The most amazing part: All of this is free!
A year ago, our lives were made miserable by clickbait headlines: obnoxious teaser headlines, like, “You Won’t Believe What This Coed Did To Her Boyfriend” or “This Man Was Issued A Ticket. His Response Was Brilliant!” They’re always overhyped, and often deceptive—all in the name of driving up a Web site’s traffic.
