Technology Buffs and Dinosaurs

I've always been a fan of technology. I love it. It is always evolving, it's fresh, and it makes our lives easier - especially online technology.

google chromeBut one drawback is that technology evolution moves so fast and there are new applications seemingly everyday. It begs the question of, who cares if these new technologies are coming online. You're probably comfortable in your web chops that it all becomes on giant distraction.

Indeed, what do you need to trade Forex? You were probably told early on that it's just an Internet connection and a computer. So do you NEED all this other "stuff" to trade? The simple answer is not really.

If you're like me, though, and your existence relies heavily on online activity, to be able to save time, do things easier, and have things available in convenient ways is great.

Today, Google (and everyone here knows that I am an enormous Google fan) released the beta form of its new browser - Google Chrome. And nowadays there are so many who get lost in the negative of everyone that they need to find a way to criticize the new Google initiative. I think it's great, and it will get better - you can be sure of that.

It' feels like such a lightweight application and the search function is blazing, although it's regular surf speed is comparable to Firefox, which I use, and slower than Safari, which I rarely use.

So what do you think about technology? Are just simply overwhelmed? Or do you keep up? Or do you even care?
