Some of the technologies I “waste” money on will surprise me with their utility.
I thought that smart watches were a huge waste, however they’re wonderful for checking notifications without having my smart cell phone in my hand throughout the day.
I can even use my smartwatch to answer the phone instead of my cell phone, which is a lot more convenient than most would figure. There is also the ability to flip through songs on a streaming app suddenly, or to check my heart beat if I’m in the middle of a workout. If I downloaded every single app that I came across and loved, I would fill the watch’s storage capacity instantly. And lastly, I can make quick changes to my Heating as well as A/C system using my smart watch now that I have a smart thermostat set up to control the Heating as well as A/C. I wasn’t sure if buying a smart temperature control would be worth the added cost, however it’s already paying for itself with the environment-friendly modes that I can run the heating and cooling system on throughout the afternoon, day, and night. I can schedule varying hot and cold temperatures on a 24 hour, 7 day calendar. This is super helpful if you want the A/C to automatically transition from 1 temperature to one another as the sun either rises or sets for the day. And last but not least, I can set the temperature and a few other features on my smart thermostat using the app on my phone or smart watch. That means I can adjust the temperature in my home if I’m away on a getaway. If all of us get a precarious freeze warning for my area, it gives me an occasion to turn the heat up warmer while I’m away from my house.
