Thanksgiving Thanks for Technology

Technology has become such a large part of our lives, can you even imagine getting by without it? Communication such as emails, social media, texting apps, games, yes games (when was the last time you played solitaire with a real deck of cards? lol), letters and spreadsheets for accounting or the many other ways a spreadsheet can help you.

You go online now to look up directions (maps.google.com), check your bank balance, watch videos, listen to music, all your shopping needs, and reading books. Much of this you do, not from your computer, but from your smartphone!

I am not thankful for Everything that technology has provided to us, but for most of it, yes. Whether you love it or hate it, we all rely on it and for much of what it has done, we should be thankful. My own family lives in every direction, so staying in touch whether via facebook, calling, texting, sending photos….for this I am thankful. My business also relies on technology. I would have a hard time conducting business (fixing computers, developing websites, providing support to my clients) without technology. Therefore, in the spirit of the season, I want to say yes, I am thankful. For technology.

Advances in technology have improved our lives.

Medicine
Automation
Communication
Distribution of information

Software that is now Awesome and often in the Cloud.

Want to design a graphic? You can do it online with design wizard or canva or hundreds of other cloud options.
Want to listen to a book on the way to work? Apps like Audible provide that.
Want to listen to music? I can’t even name all the music apps. Top apps of course are iTunes, Pandora, Amazon Music.
Want to look up or share your interests? Pinterest, Instagram. . .
Want to track your fitness? running? macros? Apps for that. Technology drives innovation.
Want to share it all? You can do that via sharing apps.

We like technology because it can be fun. And it keeps us in touch with our friends and family who may live next door or half a world away.

Technology is at the center of many things we do in our daily lives as well as business. If you want your business to grow to its full potential, Bev The Geek llc, can help you with those goals. Visit http://bevthegeek.com or follow on FB http://facebook.com/bevthegeek
