We are living in a world of technology that changes and advances faster and faster each day. If you haven’t noticed, its taking over the world. We have HD TV’s, computers, cell phones, iPhones, Kindle, mobile apps, lap tops GPS and, Oh! – don’t forget texting. We are so overwhelmed with technology that we are becoming reliant on it like never before.
Back in the old days – not that long ago, there were none of these technological devices. If you got a flat tire, you had to walk to the nearest pay phone or knock on a stranger’s door. I know – hard to believe. Now we are so in love with our technology that we get into car crashes because we cannot put it down. Car accidents resulting from texting are on the rise. They have gotten so bad that states are making laws to ban the activity while driving.
Most employees work at offices in where they use computers. Many employees get their work done and workplaces have been forced to make office rules and even electronically block employees from websites in order to fight the temptation to surf the web during worktime. Since time is money, wasted time on the internet while work is supposed to be getting done costs corporations millions of dollars per year.
Desktop computers became a nuisance because you couldn’t take them anywhere else in the house. Then we had laptops that you can take anywhere in the world. Oh, but those are too big, so we now have iPads – they’re more convenient. And finally, everything is on phones now that can go in your pocket. What’s next, wrist watch internet access?!!!
