3 Technologies That Can Make Your Life Easier on the Go

June 21, 2019 by Jeremy Lindy

If you’re a busy and mobile person – for example, the kind of person who loves to travel, and who’s always hitting open road looking for the latest and greatest vistas to explore – it can be difficult to keep the various parts of your life in order, and to get the most out of your travels, without distraction and frustration setting in.

There are all sorts of things that people do to make their lives easier on the go. Sometimes, they will adopt particular minimalist travel strategies, to ensure that they just have a few items to worry about in the first place. At other times, people opt to do highly-focused travel outings, where there is only one “aim” at a time. For example – travelling to a location for a conference, or travelling to a location to see a particular shine.

Here are a few technologies that can help to make your life easier on the go.

Bluetooth headphones, hearing aids, or speakers

Bluetooth technology has come very far since its inception, and there are now a wide array of Bluetooth devices out there that can be effortlessly paired with your smart phone, your tablet, or your laptop, no matter where you are, and regardless of whether or not you have an Internet connection.

There are even Bluetooth-compatible hearing aids these days, to enable their users to answer the phone more easily, or to listen to content from a computer without having to worry about a complex procedure.

Bluetooth devices often work across a variety of different tools and technologies. For that reason, a pair of Bluetooth headphones might really simplify your trip, while still enabling you to catch up on your audiobooks and albums of choice.

A tablet or smart phone loaded with the latest scheduling and task management apps

Tablets and smartphones can do a lot more than just stream video and audio, or allow you to stay up-to-date with your social media profiles.

During any travel outing, the ability to be organised and to stay on top of your schedule is going to matter a lot. Instead of having a dozen different pieces of paper with you, and all sorts of “mental notes,” however, why not take a tablet or smart phone loaded with the leading scheduling and task management apps?

A tool such as Todoist can help you to stay on top of things easily and effectively, and may ensure that you never miss a flight or forget to pack any important belongings again.

An e-reader device

Books are great – and during long travels, many of us will take a lot of comfort in our reading material of choice, as a way of passing time, de-stressing, and exploring new and fascinating worlds of imagination at the same time as we are exploring them in real life.

The problem is – books take up a lot of space, and are often fiddly to use on the go. Especially if you were hoping to travel light.

An e-reader device can be a lifesaver here, by allowing you to store the equivalent of an entire library on a small and compact electronic device, designed to be held in one hand, and read on the go.

On top of this, e-readers typically have batteries that will last a week or more on a single charge. You might prefer the look, smell, and feel of a real book as a rule. But e-readers have some very specific benefits when you’re travelling.
