Which Tech Device Do You Check First in the Morning?

Tech Device of Choice in the Morning

Tech device of choice – What’s the first thing you check in the morning when you awake? I know I use my smartphone as a flashlight to go downstairs and I check any notifications I may see on it as I’m doing so. (Luckily I haven’t fallen) No need for those old fashion night lights that I used to have anymore. It’s amazing how technology has also changed our morning routines. I used to watch television news with my cup of coffee. Now I’m in front of the laptop with my morning coffee.

Which Tech Device Do You Check First?

• Do you check your iPad or tablet?
• Do you check your laptop?
• Do you check your computer?
• Do you check your smartphone?
• Do you check your alarm clock?
• Do you check your coffee maker?
• Your television set?
• Your radio? Do you still have one of those?

What do you check for first on the tech device?

• Your email.
• Your Facebook messages or notifications.
• Your Twitter feed.
• Your phone messages or text messages.
• Your Pinterest updates.
• The lastest Google+ updates.
• The time.
• The Weather forecast.
• The latest news.

Or do you do none of the above and walk the dog, turn on the good old television set or go outside to get your newspaper? It’s interesting to see how technology has changed our habits over a short period of time. It appears technology has trained us instead of us training it. It was supposed to make our lives easier and give us more time but has the tech device really given us more time? I’m rushing around more than ever in the morning not to be late. Technology was supposed to make us more relaxed and not stressed. I’m not so sure technology has accomplished that, do you think it has?

Would love to know what you do first in the morning. Drop me a comment below.
