The year is over when the unwillingness to look back over the past year and to consider what it has brought and what it will have to do next year. At the end of each year, I usually think about technologies that have been important to me and have greatly improved my work or life this year.
Google Cloud Services:
Since the very beginning of Google Mail Gmail, I have been an active user and even a fan of this service. I believe that Gmail has completely changed the email business and created the opportunity to use (seemingly) free, simple and spam-free service. I remember the times when spam was a tedious everyday and Gmail quickly learned to deal with this disease. I also use Gmail currently a part of my private email account, and I am completely satisfied with it. I'm very active in using Google Calendar from other Google services, which is my main time-organizing tool to sync my devices and other services. If an event is not on my Google Calendar, I will definitely forget about it and will not visit. In principle, I could also use an ordinary paper calendar, but I would be afraid to lose it and therefore my daily life would be overwhelmed. I also can't imagine my everyday life without Google Docs tools. I started using them even when Microsoft Office was only available as a computer program and the power of habit prevents switching to Microsoft's offer, which is not worse at the moment. The biggest plus for Google Docs is the convenient sharing of documents and spreadsheets, which greatly improves my daily work, and I use it almost daily.
Web shopping:
I'm terribly disgusted to shop! Well, I just go to the shops a couple of times a year to buy some things that I can't get to buy without viewing. For example, good shoes. In the store, I put on and released from the old ones. Jess, I can't show up in the store for half a year now! Books I buying in physical form from Bookdepository.com
Mobilly parking payment:
I bought my first car (OK, lied, my mother bought it) ten years ago and it was blue Renault Megane. A terrible car to say no more, and I remember that at that time I was still a joung driver and driving in big city was more stressful than fun. Especially I didn't like the parking in the city center because the places in the comfortable parking lots were forever missing and I was bothered by divorce about how long the car should be placed in order not to overpay with my coins. It's so damn comfortable - you come in and the barrier opens automatically. If I ever need to go by train or bus somewhere, I will definitely look for a trip with Mobilly whenever possible. All you need is smartphone with mobilly app.
In next part I tell you about some more technology ho make may day easier.
