Happy Valentine’s day!
Cool Tech Valentines Options:
By the way, if you are a card giver, I highly recommend the laser cut cards created by LovePop! They are truly beautiful cut cards that pop up when you open them.
The other tech option you can consider for Valentine’s cards is to consider your laser cutting or laser engraver. The cost of a stand along engraver or laser cutter is around 500 US. The company that makes it is the Snapmaker 3d printer, laser engraver, and laser cutter. In terms of what you get, you do get all three. So you can make a laser engraved heart, and encapsulate it in a 3d printed case. My goal for valentines 2020 is to make one!
Two things coming that are I believe huge impact items. The reality of improved home networks and lower latency is really important. 5g will b a valuable toolset for most people. Small businesses will be able to get out of the business of having a network, and home users will have a lower latency on their overall network. That allows the many Internet of Everything (IoE) devices to chatter away without the impact of well, the IoE devices chattering away on your network.
The other thing that I believe is going to be huge is the continued expansion of services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video. First off one of the services (Netflix) received the first-ever academy award nomination (Best Picture) for a movie that did not have any box office. As more and more video streams and more and more people reduce their overall television connection, the amount of bandwidth needed (5g) will continue to grow rapidly. 5g E which is really LTE Advanced (or 4th Generation bandwidth and technology) isn’t going to be the answer. The answer will be 5g services at home, on your tablet and of course your mobile device~!

Netflix won an academy award? That’s huge!
They got nominated, the awards are sealed until the show. We will know in a few weeks if they won the best picture.
The honor they always say is to be nominated!
has this ever happened before? cable has been doing original content for years now…
The Netflix film is the first best picture nominee that had 0 box office receipts!
about time for a paradigm shift anyway. I am tired of Hollywood re-releasing big budget films
I never sent Valentine cards. I show love in other ways.
It is a personal choice. We have to do what is right for us!
I agree, Doc. Unfortunately, I grew up when we had not yet had Valentine’s Day.
I remember celebrating the holiday in my early school years.
Actually you offer a good idea about Valentine cards, unfortunately, I am no longer a fan or sender of cards. lol
Looking back on the 5G that we discussed earlier where you said that its use globally still takes a long time, I really hope that it will soon become a reality.
It’s funny, my wife and I give each other cards often. But we decided 28 years ago to always give each other a Valentines card.
That’s great, Doc. That’s a real action to keep the fire of love burning. My wife and I maintain it with close communication, often writing poems to one another, always going out with the same colored clothes while holding hands every time we go together. Even colleagues will protest if the color of our clothes is a little different.
Marriage is not a by the numbers kit. You have to build the marriage that works for the two of you!
