It has become difficult to update ourselves with the ever changing technology with a new invention almost everyday. The technology that came just a month or few weeks ago becomes obsolete quickly sometimes before even being aware of the new advances that technology has made one gets to hear about another recent technology. The way in which the technology has impacted us can be seen in our everyday activities. The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is check my emails which was not the case when I was younger when there was not as much technology involvement in my life. Ten or twelve years ago I did not even know that online classes even existed where you do not have to physically be present in a room with teacher and classmates, but here I am taking an online course and absolutely enjoying the experience. Technology has made it possible for all of us to be able to take BUS244 and actually get to know each other when we read each others blogs. There is exchange of ideas and opinions online and the best part is that it can be done at individuals’ time availability and none of the information is lost. The idea is good and its fun for me as this is my first online class but I would not want all my classes online, as for me face to face communications are preferable. Internet plays such a major role in our lives these days and when I talk about internet I have to talk about computers without which it has become hard to imagine getting things done.

I agree with your post that it often seems daunting to keep up with the virtual (pun intended)avalanche of new technology. As our text pointed out most people only use about a quarter of the available features on most gadgets. I was thinking about that statement as I was programming my new cell phone. After setting up the basics, I waited for weeks to customize some features, while ignoring others I probably won't use. As the number of communication and tech choices continues to grow I manage my options by determining what my needs are first, and buying technology afterward. Some of my friends run out to buy the latest electronic toys the minute they appear on the market, allowing their fascination with technology to make purchasing for them.
