The 3G Shutdown Is Coming—Here’s How That Affects You

1/19/2022

AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile will put down 3G for good this year. Even if you don’t have a 3G phone anymore (and chances are you don’t), the technology most certainly changed your life

The history of the world is divided into two eras:

B3G (Before 3G): During this time, cellphones were primarily used for talking and texting. Sure, you could load a website but you could also snowshoe from New York to Alaska in the same amount of time.

CBE (Cellular Broadband Era): Once the heavens opened and the cell towers ushered in 3G, we got it all: speedy mobile web browsing, apps that let you summon a car (or burrito) to your door and an endless stream of selfies. And it only got faster as time went on.

Starting next month, the third-generation wireless networks that served as a rocket booster for the smartphone will be turned off forever.

Ross Campbell reportedly has seven brain tumors and experiences confusion, including a belief that he and Scott regularly played rounds together.

The 76-year-old Campbell's daughter reached out to Scott while he was briefly back in Australia and the golfer readily agreed to make a call.

The newspaper quoted Campbell's wife, Pam, saying she stood by in tears as the pair spoke.

“They talked golf and Ross mentioned that he gets very wobbly in the legs when he goes out to play. He’s in a wheelchair and can hardly stand up but Adam must have sensed this and said he gets wobbly in his legs, too,” Pam Campbell told the Herald. Continue reading.

Remember how technology was supposed to make our lives easier? Jet packs, flying cars and a sweet little robot to bring us our coffee--ahh, memories of a future that hasn't happened, yet!

Anyone working from home right now is realizing the power of technology, and its severe limitations.

We've compiled some tips to ease your day-to-day relationship with your cell phone, specifically the phone being used for business purposes.

Simplify your Purpose:

List the top purpose for your phone, and include a list of things your phone is NOT intended for (distractions on social media, checking the stock market, Identifying your cellphone's purpose will allow you to load it with necessary apps, and give yourself and others the right expectations.

Simplify your Boundaries:

If you have a phone for personal use, and a separate phone for business, it can be fairly easy to establish boundaries. But if you have one phone for all your communications, it may be next to impossible to set boundaries with your Mom (who calls repeatedly during meetings), or your Favorite Client (who texts big, urgent ideas on the weekends).

Take advantage of Unique Tools:

Take advantage of the unique tools your phone offers that your computer and other devices don't do as well. Voice technology and quick photos are easiest from your cellphone.
