technology tags are also cars, appliances, headphones, hardware, cables, batteries and other
sorry I can't explain it very well. I mean, isn't it better to have tag electronics or similar, because technology can be not only electronics, but chemical technology, cooking technology, software technology ...
@Mooseman @vladiz Just a quick IMO - technology could be broken down into a few smaller topics like computer which could cover laptops, PCs, and any peripherals like printers, speakers, keyboards and whatnot without having to have those all as specific tags and wouldn't get confused with a technology site. I do personally think technology is extremely broad and can be broken down into smaller but still fairly broad topics.
@MrPhooky But we're not a technology site. Although technologyis broad, questions ought to be tagged with tags specific to their physical problems. One example is cables.
@Mooseman I understand we aren't a technology site but as a counter argument we are neither a clothing site, we have clothing which is nice a broad, people are happy with clothing and what that covers but there's also a tag for shoes which I would have thought would come under the clothing tag.
@MrPhooky Yes, shoes could be under clothing just like kitchen could be under home. However, computer would be nearly as broad as technology. If anything needs to be split up, it's home.
I also don't agree with your tag "toilet". Bathroom is plenty specific.
@Mooseman Well I would argue that computer is no where near as broad as technology as this encompasses everything like phones, computers, games consoles, video players, MP3 players and iPods, tablets, etc... whereas computers targets in on the computer system, just my opinion is all
@MrPhooky If we need to split it up down the road, we can consider it then. Since we're only covering physical problems, I don't see all that many questions being tagged technology. We do have phone and headphones already. If we get numerous questions on gaming consoles, I'd agree with splitting that out, since they're used uniquely from other technology.
This is a gentle introduction to what this Lifehacks site is about. For a bit more detail about how we got here, see the Un-Manifesto.
Welcome to Lifehacks! We can't teach you how to wire your stereo or how to learn a new language; but if you need to open a bottle of wine but don't have a corkscrew
I recently posted A Lifehacks Manifesto, but I wanted to post this commentary separately to keep that introduction free of the historical baggage about how we got here.
Building a Lifehacks site is hard. It doesn’t fit our "normal" rules, and it tests the limits of what we can do (in a good way)...
