David Pogue, personal-tech columnist for The New York Times, has been writing a Thursday column since 2000.   He covers all areas including cell-phones, televisions, game consoles and tablets. I read this blog regularly because I have a passion for technology and its adoption across the world. I like to keep updated about new hardware and software that is released that involves products I am interested in using. I believe that technology is the future, so being able to follow its progression and innovation is a joy.

Playing sports is awesome. But when athletes stop playing for the love  of the game, but for evil competition, The whole point of playing is gone. You see athletes that used to be playing for fun, but now are playing for money and  gain.  I've always wondered how people can stop doing what they love in order to make more money. Really, happiness depends on personal opinion. If you derive happiness from money, go for gain. If you derive happiness from doing what you love, go for the appeal.  

Trouble is, as time goes on, if everyone begins to drop what they love in order to achieve a more "practical" opportunity, the world will be white and black with no in between. The catch is that we have to find a balance of practicality and passion. Because if everyone did  their passion, maybe ranging from reading to video games  the world would not be efficient and maintainable.  Society, as a whole, needs to distinguish between their passion and their practicality in order to find a best "fit" for their life.
