About Me

I am a Communication and Public Relations graduate of Robert Morris University with background in both Theatre and Film Production.

I started this blog as a class project under the name of iSays. It has gone through several name changes and platforms before I found a home for it as HardwYred on Blogger.

I have been obsessed with new and emerging technologies since I got my first Super Nintendo (that I shared with my siblings. Since then, I have tried to tinker and modify every computer, phone, tablet et cetara that I have ever had.

Since I love to write as well as keep up with all areas of technology, I decided to start HardwYred with the idea to research and review new technology that affects the the average individual.

Self-Driving Cars

The future of the world seems to be autonomous. We have reached a point that the future is going to be in Artificial Intelligence; Google has even said they are an AI-first company. The idea behind this push is for machines to learn and adapt to our needs. We want machines to work easily for us. One category of machines that is being pushed to work for us (and without us) is automobiles. Even when transportation consisted of horses pulling a buggy, humans have always been "behind the wheel". By that, I mean that humans have always controlled where, when, why, and how a vehicle will be moving. We have now reached a point where the future will consist of cars that control speed and direction without the need for human control. Aside from convenience, the main reason for the push: removing human error. It is no surprise that the vast majority of automobile accidents can be traced back to human error. Whether it is not watching the road, driving too fast, or simple reckless b...

Where do tablets belong?

Last night, I had a sudden thought: where does my tablet belong in my tech life? I have always loved the thought of having a need and purpose for every piece of technology I own. For instance, my computer does all of my heavy lifting (photo and video editing) while my phone does all of communicating and daily living tasks. My Chromecast ? That is for tossing music and videos to my TV. Google Home Mini ? What a great little assistant for quick information and getting my day started. I use my Xbox for gaming while my Huawei Watch gives me quick updates and almost-hands-free communication. So, where does my Kindle come in? I originally bought my Kindle Fire to be a consumption device and makeshift pseudo-laptop as mine is not very portable. I thought I would use it for all of Netflix watching as I moved about the house as well as for reading plenty of books; I even intended it to be useful to bang out a quick blog post or article. We probably had a great relationship at first...and ...

Roseanne, Roseanne. Thank you for demonstrating why you should think before posting

IMAGE: Getty Images (Composite from PageSix) A while back, I wrote a piece encouraging people to be mindful of their digital footprint and the things they say and do on social media. As someone who has seen some very questionable things posted online, I thought it was important to encourage others to take caution with what they share. As for those who are forced to see and hear another's ridiculous thoughts, I wrote a  piece  just days ago about the ability to unfollow and avoid others so that you are not forced to suffer through their farcical thoughts. Now, imagine my delight this morning, when I happen to stumble upon article after article detailing the nonsensical and inflammatory remarks on Twitter made by this country's most obnoxious T.V. mom. For those who may not have caught up on the news this morning, Roseanne Barr decided to enjoy her Memorial Day weekend by tweeting every ridiculous thought to come through her narrow mind ranging from accusations against Geo...
