Brief Thoughts on Technology

It is so much more difficult to work and research on the PC I use at work than on one of my own machines, and the reason is entirely due to customization.  Last week I began researching a pretty intensive project and it struck me how much time it took to organize my research without the assistance of Onenote and my particular set of Firefox extensions.  Amusingly enough, the one thing I miss the most is ‘Copy as plain text.’

I’ve come to appreciate having my own desktop and laptop.  Through the wonder of synchronization the setups are quite similar, though the widescreen laptop is cozy for watching movies and when I actually need to be busy I gravitate towards my desktop.  It is ironic considering I really didn’t care for laptops before purchasing this one, which I wanted primarily for school, but which only goes with me to classes two days a week.  It is interesting watching technological habits change.
