What is something you can’t live without, technology wise that saves you time?

I have to say it’s my virtual assistant I’ve made. It saves me a lot of time with making reminders and such alarms for meetings or interviews, music etc.

What I can learn in 10 minutes courtesy of the internet is staggering.

Even if I was at a library, standing in front of the card catalog, it would take longer to even find a book/periodical to even start a search on a subject.

Add my pocket computer (yea, we call them smart phones) with note-taking apps, and what I can study/learn and keep in a searchable personal DB of sorts is just amazing. It's something that was talked about before personal computers were even ubiquitous, and it arrived incredibly quickly since then.
