Life can simply be cool when you have technology doing most of your work for you. I think it's one of the reasons why tech keeps evolving; we are always trying to use technology to handle everything in order to make life easier and simpler. As much as technology is good and helping us greatly, there are also repercussions. Just as technology has impacted our lives positively, it has also had negative impacts.
I'm a tech enthusiast, and I find every new piece of technology fascinating. However, i think some gadgets wouldn't be missed or make much of a difference if they didn't exist. I can say for a fact that most people never even use 90% of the features in their smartphones. Imagine having an expensive gadget in hand and not using about 50% of its functions. Wouldn't that be just a waste of money?
Well, we may all have different reasons for buying from brands, but personally, I don't go for brands unless they fulfill my needs. It's been about 5 years since I used Huawei, and as a big fan of Huawei, there was no way I was going to change if not for their Google issues. Also, I wasn't ready to try out Harmony OS as I had become accustomed to Android. After five years of sticking with the brand, I switched to Samsung.
Above are some of the pictures I took recently in a park with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. I personally love the phone as it fulfills my needs, it's my kind of phone. Every good feature that makes a great phone can be found in the S24 Ultra. Perhaps it will be the phone of the year. For photo lovers, I think you will find it very helpful; pictures look stunning when taken with its powerful lenses. However, there is just one issue that I think needs to be fixed, maybe in their next updates.
The post-photo processing seems to be the camera issue I have come across and learned many others like me have similar issue. After taking a nice picture, the camera refines it, altering its look, sometimes for the better, sometimes not so much. Apart from that, I have no issues. I don't know if it's something specific to Samsung phones; I'm yet to find out more.The phone is equipped with many AI features that make it so much fun and a useful tool. We are in the era of AI, and you can see how it’s being used in diverse fields.
Samsung is leveraging AI as a smart business strategy and it's giving them a competitive edge. I decided to try out some of the AI features for photo editing and found them really powerful. AI is evolving, and I wonder what we will be doing with AI in the future. From the pictures I took in the park, I was able sketch a snail on a giant mushroom, and with the help of AI, I was able to generate it into a real snail.
I guess if I had not shown the original work, it would have been hard to spot it was actually created with AI. So even though these features come in handy and can be useful, I think they can also be used to cause harm. They could be used to frame up or distort evidence, thereby putting others in harm's way through picture manipulation. What do you think?
