Technology Is It a Godsend or a Headache to You?

We had friends over last night who were setting up a video channel whilst I was in the kitchen. What they clicked before I came to the rescue to show them how my set-up worked, I have no idea. However this morning the TV is refusing to let me watch the news!

Do I just have the wrong type of brain wiring? Why does technology not interest me and neither can I understand it or intuitively recognize the symptoms it throws at me? Now I am a very intuitive person when dealing with the human race but anything built with wires that you plug-in, is a mystery.

My daughter had to sort a problem with my laptop today and even my computer mouse died on me and I was left with an incompetent finger trying to navigate pages.

Where would we be today without all the technology, mobile phones that to some are an extension of their limbs; motor vehicles that have almost made legs redundant and now even park themselves, plus 101 other gadgets. However these have all been dreamed up and designed by man, so obviously technology is a delight to some.

How different life would be today without all these gadgets, even I rely on some of them; a car, washing machine, fridge, vacuum-cleaner, phone laptop, and more, it isn't until you list them you realise how reliant we have all become!

How different work would be without these tools and gadgets. Is it because youngsters born today begin life in this technological world, where from birth, when they are introduced to these tools and schooling is greatly computerized.

Is it that some of us just don't want to use new things and would rather go through life with a minimum of these new "toys" whereas others don't want to switch on a light without a "remote" in their hand! Or is it actually a predominant side of the brain dictating our path, or both?

What gadgets do you rely on in your business world? Think of the video calls and conference calls, computers, printers, faxes, and robots, in fact new technology is all around us and developing every year.

Think of the advances in online business brought about through technology; the advances in marketing: forum marketing, email, Facebook, Google, eBay, YouTube and video marketing. It has now become possible for virtually anyone to set up an online business very cheaply, compared to traditional business and start trading in months.

A godsend or headache technology is here to stay!
