Nobody knows everything there is to know about modern technology and smartphones. If you’re anything like me, your internet intelligence is an incomplete board made up of random pieces trying to form together to make a coherent looking puzzle.

The gap between technologically literate and illiterate people is widening at a rapid rate. And while we all have varying levels of technological literacy, the reality is none of us know what we don’t know. Some people use certain apps every single day that make their lives easier, while other people don’t know those apps even exist. Some people might be nervous about advances in technology that they aren’t comfortable with using, such as mobile banking

So, here’s an opportunity to challenge yourself and push your development toward living a more technological life:

I challenge you to incorporate one new app into your life every month for the next year. As I previously stated, you don’t know what you don’t know, so here are some suggestions to get you going:

-Weight Tracking: Happy Scale

-Develop Good Habits/Drop Bad Habits: Way of Life

-Household Management: Cozi Family Organizer

-Grocery and Shopping: AnyList

-Real-Time Traffic Tracker: Waze

-Going Out to Eat: Open Table

-Audio Books: Audible
