I’m sure smart phone addiction fits in here somewhere.
All communication all the time is NOT necessarily a good thing. In fact, IMHO, it’s a damaging thing.
I agree.
In fact, I'm positive much of technology is damaging to society's well being.
I find that people today are working nearly 24/7 because they are constantly connected to their office no matter where they are, and expected to work, work, work---ELSE it will be cheaper to offshore their jobs (again, thanks to technology) to some developing country where the work can be done super cheap.
This technology so many marvel at, is making people have to race against the machine.
And while I'm at it another thing: if you think technology is a boon to your business, realize this: your competitor also benefits from that same technology, so it's not helping you one bit.
Twenty-five years ago a friend of mine was a CPA starting his own practice.
He was telling me how wonderful his tax preparation software was, how he could prepare twice as many tax returns in a day.
I told him not to be so happy, because his competition would experience the same benefit.
Means his competition could charge client's half the price, and steal my friend's clients away if he also doesn't slash his prices.
Sure, wonderful stuff this technology.
