The Picture
When I was just starting out, I worked with so many different computers and phones. I wanted to stay in touch, work, and I wanted to be fast! What you are looking at is my Sony collection that I work with. Doing all the writing, looking for pictures to go with my writing, and using my phones—you can imagine what my day is like. Most times I write, I am always writing something that happened or something in my head. I always use my phones (I use my Samsung phone as well) to make the calls I need or want to make. The picture that you are looking at is real and I do use the computer, iPads, and phones. When I took the photo of the items in sets (Samsung and Sony) I was thinking, "Yeah, I will use it on my Instagram and Pinterest." Then I thought to myself that maybe I would speak about it here and that brings me to writing it to you. Man, looking at them off doesn't seem as intimidating as when they are on and running programs. When I took the photo of this, I remembered how each one felt to use. The buttons on the iPads and phones seem to be the same. The keys on the computer seem to be harder to use (you ever get that?). I do marvel at the sites that I come across on all mostly because they are information sites. I love getting information especially information on how to do something. I find that the phones are better because you can carry them everywhere you go. The computers are good if you are going to sit or stand for a while in one place. Both are really fast as you can type and both get you what you want in the end. In the end, we know that the specs on the computer and phones are what people should be looking for. Sometimes people just want the look and feel of them but me, I want it for work. So sometimes Sony and other times Samsung—both of them are great!

All around the world, private industry and government agencies are racing to expand the availability of high-speed internet access to as many communities as possible. They're doing it because they've recognized that in the digital age, broadband internet access is as valuable to an economy as steam power and electricity were to the economies of the industrial revolution. As we head further into a future that's certain to be filled with Internet of Things (IoT) devices and autonomous vehicles and the like, the need for a robust and reliable internet infrastructure will only become more acute.
