Until about a month ago, I considered myself to be fairly up-to-date on what was happening with new technology, open source, social networking, and so on. If there was a buzzword a-buzzin', I thought I knew about it. But after just a few weeks of committing myself to writing this blog on a daily basis, I find there's so many things to be excited about, I'm not sure how to continue. I want to add something of value to the overall discussion about new technology, but I'm going to need to focus New Tech Heroes a bit more to make sure that I'm not just chattering away in a tiny corner of the Internet.

So I need some input from you, my early readers. What are you excited about? What developments are making your life more fun, or your job less stressful and more productive? What kinds of improvements would you ask for if you had the undivided attention of the developer of your favorite online or desktop applicaton?

Or are you fed up with the whole thing? Is new technology actually making your live more difficult, trying to keep up with all the changes?

Consider this an open thread. Let me know what you're thinking in the comments, and I'll reply to them there as well as write some more detailed posts about the more popular topics in the days and weeks to come. Thanks!
