My Thoughts

All around us the world is changing day by day, thus resulting in technology to evolve to fit into this modern world. As new technologies come into the world, they have to be integrated into our society. And how exactly are they integrated? Simple into the workplace. When new technologies are introduced the best located for them is the workplace because technologies such as the internet help the workplace to achieve their tasks in improved and faster quality. If a workplace is able to use the technology to their benefit and has a liking towards it, the word will be spread of the technology by the employers which results in the people outside of the workplace showing interest in the same technology. While technology is a great thing for the modern world, it has enabled the people using the technology to use it as a crutch to communicate. Communication has been said to be the key in teamwork, and workplace requires teamwork. Communication started out to be a way to get to know your co-workers, employees and employers, but due to the change in the technologies of communications it has now become a way of getting things done fast. As a user of technology such as the internet and cellphone, they have provided me with great entertainment and effective way of communication with my friends and family, but have left me with a gap and awkwardness to communicate face to face with people outside of my comfort zone. Weather it is my workplace where little things such as schedules are now emailed to us instead of the manager telling us face to face , to group works where now all the communication is done through emails and messages; technology has certainly harmed our ability to communicate with each other on a regular basic.
