Computers - Cell Phones - Telemarketers - Thoughts By Carl Hurley

computer cell phones telemarketers

We have made some great steps in innovation when it comes to computers, cell phones, and even telemarketers. With computers we have gone from having a computer that will take up a whole floor of an office building to one that is so small it could fit in our backpack, and some can fit in our back pocket (although you have to be careful not to sit down while its still back there).

Cell phones have come a long way as well. I still remember the ones that had a receiver the size of half a phone book. It looked like an enlarged version of a G.I. Joe combat phone. And to really show your high level of societal status you could have the thing bolted to the floor board of your car. It even had its own separate battery (about the size of your car battery) so that you could talk on the phone as you drove....for $10 per minute. Now they are about the size of a wallet. They even can have the same amount of computing power as your computer at home. There are even cell phone lockers that can get to keep your cell phones safe. Unless you own a business where all your employees have a company cell phone you are probably not going to have your own cell phone storage locker, but you can still get one you wish. A business friend of mine owns several cell phone lockers because his business is expanding, and he says they are well worth the money for the piece of mind they give you when you have to manage several cell phones at one time.

In regards to telemarketers, once upon a time you had to have a real person make a telemarketing call. Now, you can plug in a computer, and have an auto-dialer dial the phone for you. And in some cases, you can have a computer that can simulate a person talking on the phone. That version is a bit scary.

In the video below Carl Hurley talks about some of the things that scared / surprised him when he first started using his computer, such as when his computer caught a virus, and it affected every other electrical appliance in the house. He also finally got a cell phone, and it has been an adventure in and of itself.

MrBeast Burger - My Experience

  *** DISCLAIMER: At the time of this writing, I did not work for MrBeast or any of his affiliates. Also, I used my own money to pay for the meal mentioned and reviewed in this writing. If you have ever scoured the Internet looking for entertaining videos besides the latest cute cat video... You have, undoubtedly, come across a video by MrBeast . MrBeast is a very well known Youtuber with millions of subscribers stretching across several channels. In his videos, MrBeast, along with friends Karl, Chris, and Chandler can be seen doing crazy stunts and giving away large sums of money to people of various walks of life. Recently, MrBeast decided to create MrBeast Burger - a virtual restaurant brand where people can use a branded mobile app or website to order fast food items delivered to their door ( in some areas, you can actually pick up the items yourself, but at the time of this writing, that option was not available in the DFW area ). \ I really do admire all o...

Funny Mailboxes Part 2

Image
Most people, these days, send most of their correspondence via e-mail, or posts on a blog or what have you. But there are still some things that you still receive by regular mail. There are many people that still get their phone bill in the mail, as well as, their electric bill, and their water, and gas bill. Not many people like to get bills, but they do like to receive letters from people - and a catalog here, and there is a lot of fun to receive in the mail as well. But what can make getting your mail even more fun is having an unusual cluster mailbox to receive your mail in. If you have ever wondered what it would be like to turn your vacuum cleaner into a mail box, you're not alone. There are many old appliances that you can easy modify to create your own specialized mailbox. You could even get creative, and create a character with your mailbox.
