hi I'm back so am i and I've got a bunch of new gadgets with me including the new MacBook Pro and the new iPhone 7 everything is just nicer and faster and better progress no it's not yes it is I mean the MacBook Pro is thinner and lighter and it has this nice bright display it has a force touch trackpad and the iPhone 7 has an even better camera I mean this is a legitimate advancement in consumer technology no it's not says the person carrying around a 2011 laptop and an old iPhone I mean seriously a thing weighs five and a half pounds and it's slow as hell there's one thing I have with all of this stuff that you don't have a life free of dongles see you may have acquired a much thinner more powerful laptop and a fancy new iPhone but you've lost basic stuff like a headphone jack on your iPhone or regular USB ports which means everywhere you go dongles you are stuck in the dongle life I am NOT stuck in the dongle life okay and anyway they're called adaptors yeah sure they're no really they're called adapters also there are easy solutions for all of this like lightning headphones that come right in the box with iPhone 7 yeah where is that box right now I think I think it's home mm-hmm right anyway everything is going the way of lightning and us PC I mean we don't even need regular ports anymore okay sure tell you what let's try something exhibit a your phone is dying but you've got that laptop there so charge your phone go ahead sergeant I'll do it with you this is easy I can either use this one or this one go with this one yeah so you you still need a dongle yeah this is not that big of a deal Exhibit B I like music do you like music let's listen to music on our phones while we charge our phones okay easy I'll just use this double dongle and I might have to use one other one that looks convenient Exhibit C hey when was the last time you took a vacation last summer why did you bring a camera with you I did actually even though the iPhone takes tremendous photos I love the quality of photos as thing captures hmm yeah uh I would love to see them can you send me a couple sure I'd be happy to I mean I have a bunch on my external hard drive although I didn't bring a Thunderbolt adapter this is exactly what I'm talking about it's not it's not a big deal I also have a an SD card adapter so I'll just use this have you ever been to Hawaii I totally recommend it it's fantastic there's ocean fish in it yeah they're just another adapter Exhibit D hey how are you good listen can I call you leader I'm kind of dealing with a hot mess over here right now okay thanks bye ah doing okay over there yeah yeah I'm just gonna call them back question for you how much did all of these costs oh not much yeah but like how much I don't know 30 or $40 apiece and Apple just cut the prices on a bunch of them okay I don't know what kind of rich person apple juice you've been drinking but that added cost kinda ridiculous look time is money okay and the time it takes for you to boot up that 2011 laptop you've got there and get stuff running on it I'm already done with all the stuff that I need to do on this machine here's the thing about new technology I mean sure it's uncomfortable at first but I don't know if no one pushes technology forward then no one pushes it forward and yes maybe there will be times when you don't have the exact adapter that you need right in your pocket you know with your iPhone 7 but if you work at the same office every day and you're carrying or new MacBook to the same place every day you likely have all the adapters right there that you need ok but on the flip side you don't need to upgrade to all the latest and greatest technology and I mean this just proves it companies like Apple and other companies are just trying to convince you that you need all the latest stuff that you need to spend your money on it while they're quietly dismissing popular standards and in the meantime creating a user hostile experience but you're holding back progress if nobody ever upgrade then nobody ever upgrades yeah ok sure I hear what you're saying but for now I'm just gonna stick with this plus can you do this okay that's ridiculous that's a bright new display it has a force force force your choice yes it is so exciting it's like boom infinity hmm okay let's just do that
