If you’re an Apple fan with an affinity for updates, you’ve most likely been giving iOS 8 a workout by now. You’ll notice some new features. I have updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 8 and am happy with some of the new features. I have by no means tried out all of them, but it is packed with new features that only seem to make day to day tasks easier.

However, one feature I can’t seem to get used to (granted, it’s only been a few days) is the predictive words feature on the keyboard. A lot of people have been asking me how can they turn off recommended words on iOS 8. I agreed with them. I don’t see it as a great, valuable feature but more of a nuisance. Sure, if I used it a lot and got used to it I maybe become faster on the keys. But that’s for another day. I have enough to learn now.

So here is how you do it in an easy to follow breakdown.

One of my favorite blogs to read is from Fred Wilson. He’s a Venture Capitalist and blogs every week day and has for decades. He was part of the reason for me to try to challenge myself to blog every day. So far, it’s been going well. Last year, not so much. This is all about where to store your content.

We just can’t keep up with technology. I can’t, at least. I was scrolling Instagram and for some reason I follow the hashtag #worldofengineering. Up pops a video of a machine called the Hadrian X. It’s a brick-laying robot and it can build the walls of a house in a DAY. What? I love cool technology. And as a former landscaper who built retaining walls and rip-rap shorelines...
