First of all, we live on an island where we have only one broadband provider – Fairpoint. Either we had to first decide on and then hunt down a DVD, which were stored haphazardly across four or five different nylon sleeves, or it was Amazon Video or Netflix – both of which posed problems. And MLB.tv, when I’m traveling.īut watching movies together was always a trial. Most of her shows are available online via Hulu and other channels, and the only thing I care about – the Red Sox – is available via the radio.
MIGHTYTEXT REPLACEMENT TV
For a variety of reasons ranging from cost to the fact that I dislike TV in general, Kate and I have never had cable in the house. Of the technologies I started using in 2012, none had a wider impact on our house than Plex. The latter two are Android-centric, but the first is available to anyone.
This is a list instead of things you may or may not have heard of, but might prove useful if they’re new to you. I’ve also tried to focus on lower visibility items: it would be true to say, for example, that the Nexus 7 I acquired to replace my Xoom impacted my life day to day, but there are hundreds of articles about tablet usage.
But for future reference, if nothing else, I wanted to snapshot a few things that were very useful for me in 2012, where useful means they impacted my day to day life. Some are here to stay, others are not long for the world. Every year is a different mix of technologies.
