The world of technology that we know today will be obsolete tomorrow. And this is the underlying truth in the tech world. Developments happen fast, sometimes overnight, and it might even seem like a chore to try and keep up with all of it.
But the tech that we love today is what we’re focusing on here. Chances are you have some of this technology, and chances are that you use it quite frequently. In fact, you’re probably using it right now, even as you read this post.
Whether you’re looking to install Kodi on Fire TV, or if you’re looking to upgrade your apps, upgrading keeps you in the now, and it keeps your tech safe from hacking attempts and bugs.
In this post, we’ll explore a few tech upgrades that you’ll want to look into before the end of 2021.
Bluetooth Speakers
This might be a bit of bad news to start off with, but if you bought a brand new Bluetooth speaker at the beginning of 2021, chances are there are upgraded models already out. And this is especially true if you bought one last year.
Bluetooth tech is only getting better when it comes to the music space. And recent developments in technology have made these devices affordable for people of all socioeconomic backgrounds.
Ideally, waiting until Black Friday might be a game-changer when it comes to scoring a deal on this tech, but you can legitimately purchase a quality Bluetooth speaker for around $150 on average.
What’s more, even some of the knockoffs are being upgraded and sound much better than they have in recent years. But if you want to play it safe, stick with the brands you know and check out the new tech that’s rocking the competition.
Smart Watches
Just like Bluetooth speakers, the smartwatch market has seen massive improvements since the first Apple watch first hit the market.
Today, you can have a smartwatch that not only tells time and allows you to text and communicate all from your wrist, but you can also now check your blood oxygen levels if you need to.
But the gadgeteering that’s come forth from Gen 1 smartwatches has left the early models in the dust, even models from last year.
Now there are several competitors on the market, and they all have usable tech that can enhance your life, especially if you’re into staying fit and healthy, or if you’re networking with colleagues across the globe.
Compact PC’s
So don’t like the full-size PC? Well, there’s an answer for those who prefer to work in compact workspaces and prefer the less cumbersome feel of carrying around a smaller carrying case.
Today, compact PCs have a much more robust operating system and storage capacity, whereas in the past these models lacked the power and necessary memory capacity to perform work and even school-related tasks.
Compact PCs are largely on par with some of the more popular full-sized models, and there are even methods to connect your laptop camera to your smartphone.
PCs might have been given a bad rap in recent years with the problems that came along with Windows 10 upgrades. But developments within the compact space have bounded much higher over the past couple of years than they ever have before.
For example, a couple of years ago you might not have even considered a compact PC for work or school. But today the array of features, memory storage, and processor power make a compact PC a much more attractive option, at a much lower price.
Anyone who has a smartphone knows that upgrading is just a simple fact of life in the modern era. Apps grow new features seemingly every month. And along with bugs and security issues, upgrading our devices has become necessary. So don’t get lost in the river of upgrades. Stay informed on consumer trends so you’ll know what tech to upgrade, and when.
