Insight #11: Adaptation is a path to inclusion -Change of Device Ecosystem. 09/05/2021

Apple devices

Today’s most important human accessory is mobile phone .  And for most of us have additional smart kindle, laptop, watches, AirPods , tabs and so on.

Now a very important aspect is to plan platform and devices connected to personal budget and requirements associated for the next 5 years at least.

The change in devices unless they are from same platform, I tell you is a herculean task.  I faced it.

It took me about a month to adapt primarily(!!) from android/windows to complete apple systems. I bet it is not too bad for an average technology-adept 55 plus woman.

I think whatsApp has become our lifeline for quite some time now.  It did not stop in personal chats and extended in professional network way too much at least for me.  It had become a practice to search a communication or service number whenever needed.  Yes, it used to cross my mind that how long and how far this would be possible.  Now whatsApp has introduced the option to delete chats beyond 7 days to declutter our device though.  

I was sad to the extent, as if I had lost my old letters and memories when I was unable to retrieve old chats in apple device from android.    Jokes apart.. Your fluency and comfort go through a trough and gradually you get the hang of it.  And that too after 2 months of this switch, I still hold on to my old system for many back ups.

I have read many blogs and checked many videos on YouTube to learn and clear my doubts. And that’s when it struck my mind, why not I also share my learning on the virtual platform.  Hope that helps someone else.

So guys do not give up and keep trying to update your knowledge, devices or platform. No matter what !!
