With a promise to deliver a higher quality product than Apple’s current MacBooks, Microsoft’s annual hardware event saw a total of seven new products in development:
- Surface Laptop 3: It uses Intel’s latest 10th generation processor, said to be 3x more powerful than a MacBook Air. It also charges up to 80% in less than an hour and its made out of aluminum with a larger trackpad than its predecessor. It comes in 13.5-inch and 15-inch sizes.
- Surface Pro X: It features a 13-inch tablet with a detachable keyboard. This elegant device is very light and runs on the Qualcomm chip which has 7W of power.
- Surface Pro 7: While similar in appearance to last year’s moder, this tablet/laptop hybrid has a new USB-C port and improved microphones. It can also charge up to 90A% in one hour and runs on Intel’s 10th generation chip as well.
- Surface Earbuds: A direct competition to Apple’s AirPods, these headphones offer 24 hours of battery life and can be controlled by gestures to play, pause, skip or change the volume.
For next year, we shall keep our eyes open for the upcoming foldable Surface Duo phone with two screens which runs on Android. It will feature two 5.6 inch displays and has a 360-degree hinge. Also the Surface Neo, a two-screened laptop which will also run on Google’s Android operating system -rather than Microsoft Windows- shows that Microsoft is aiming towards mobile and cloud-based products for their future!

All three of Apple’s new iPhones will be available on September 20, and will start at $699 for an iPhone 11 64 GB model.

It’s hard to think that a device that plays such an important role in modern everyday life could be considered an addiction. The truth is that around 60 to 70 per cent of smartphone owners describe themselves as “too reliant” on them, and the average adult spends approximately from 2 to 4 hours on their smartphone every day.
From drivers using phones behind the wheel and an increase in injuries on pedestrians related to their mobiles to it impacting their social life and even mental health, smartphone addiction is a very real issue. It can also worsen our concentration, as frequent distraction from our smartphones affects the capability of the brain to maintain a longer focus in any activity.
Don’t get hooked! Social Media apps are designed to produce short-term, dopamine-driven loops on their users, so they can crave them at any time and any place. Social media stimulates the brain’s pleasure centers as much as what food and sex do. This can be especially valuable for social media platforms, as they can sell advertisers the attention of millions of people.
While there is nothing inherently addictive about mobile phones, potentially being in contact with 2 billion people around the world, and thousands of games and movies being at the reach of a person’s pocket can create a strong attachment between the owner and the smartphone. Increased levels of smartphone use can ultimately relate to anxiety and depression, poor sleep quality and risk or car accidents.
Shock! Horror! It’s time to stop and think just how much time we actually spend on our smartphones. Stop for a second there and enjoy the greenery!

Technology: it’s what seems to keep the world turning. One could argue it’s love, but let’s face it; technology is a big deal in our every day lives too. With every passing year, technology just seems to keep getting better and edgier; at times it even seems a little scary. But if it weren’t for technology, where would we be? Communicating with our loved ones wouldn’t be as immediate and buying plane tickets would depend on a physical trip to the travel agency. Long gone are the days when we had to go to a saloon or a brick and mortar casino to place bets on our favorite games. Now, it seems, the world is truly in the palm of our hands. And 2018 has continued to impress with the many technological advances we’ve seen thus far with some of the most interesting and cutting-edge gadgets ever.
The iPhone X as well as the Google Pixel 2 were released in 2018 and have already become two of the most superb models on the market this year. While they run on opposite operating systems, iOS and Android, both have proved to be fantastic devices with outstanding graphic features perfect for photography and gaming.
When we’re not talking about phones in the technological era, here come the home devices such as Google Home and the Amazon Echo. These so-called voice activated assistants aim to make everyday life easier and more entertaining. You can schedule appointments, play your favorite tunes in one single voice command, program reminders and much more – and in the near future, these devices might just do laundry for you, too!
Technology has also come a long ways in the gaming area with devices such as the Nintendo Switch and the Sony PlayStation 4. Both are fantastic for kids as well as grow-ups, with an unbelievable range of games that help make gaming as realistic as possible without getting into Augmented Reality.
With 6 months more to go this 2018, we can only imagine what more interesting and powerful techy devices will come out. Perhaps a device that helps us get to our jobs faster without having to use cars or public transportation. Teleportation? Sounds like a plan!
