TECHNOLOGY IN BUSINESS
Humans operates out of complex superiority, demands self-affirming through ritual, insisting upon a rational need to learn, striving for self-imposed goals, manipulating his environment while he denies his own adaptive abilities, never full satisfied.(1) I think it comes down to one part of human behaviour of the "fear of knowledge" whether in the mind or external technological advances. There is a complacency on the part of people not machines. The time of adjustment and preparation wasn't covered adequately when new technology was available for users and people really didn't know or want to handle it. This makes for a piecemeal fashion of business aims, because everyone wants something slightly different in what technology can do for them and their business. However, if people can't manage or stay in touch on a personal level in the workplace by communicating the old fashioned way, opening your mouth so words come out, why would they really want a "follow me" telephone service. Technology is making it possible to see variable aspects of life, but it is not shrinking our planet even further, its creating a gap of consideration and understanding in how people discuss business.
Therefore, the question I ask is: "has the mind expanded at the same rate as technology or has it stopped evolving already?" The focus shouldn't be solely on technology as just a piece of hardware, but to know how to harness its pluses for better use ~ knowledge. For technology and employees are the external factors of what companies could take as adaptability. This is a starting point of what is called the "quantum leap of the mind" and it holds the real realm of possibilities. "....First things first; take care of what can be done now before worrying too long over what might never be...."
