I'm a Little Big Techno

October 7, 2008.

I spend a good amount of time on my computer in my office or at my studio at home.  I am not so sure I could function without my email or the Internets (heh heh you know what I mean?) that I use daily, okay….hourly...or more like checking email every five or um two minutes (yes I am checking as I write this).

I am always blown away when I meet someone that either does not utilize their computer.  I then find myself talking real slow when I interact with them.  Whether it be the checking files from home with GoToMyPC, checking emails at the park with my blackberry, shipping labels done on line, my digital camera, Twitter (follow me k?), voice mail, Photoshop, writing this blog, Facebook (okay snuck that in, not really for work), Linked In, really need I go on?

If you are not willing to embrace your inner-techno-nerd I say, "Shame on You!"  You want to just sit in your studio and hand paint every product you ship out?  Maybe take orders off your fax machine? Really? Hmmmm, doth protest too much no?

Could you imagine life without the internet now? I live by the internet and now I have my blackberry I dont think I go a waking hour without checking emails. Sad? :)

I don't love my blackberry but it is an essential part of my day - however it also has its down side.

I was at a conference (for lovely marketing peoples like myself) and I needed the toilet.

Whilst standing at the urinal, the bloke next to me was talking on his bluetooth handset, whilst sending an email from his blackberry.

Did he look important? Yes

Did he wash his hands? Yes

Did I refuse to shake his hand at the seminar? Most Definately

Did I tell everyone else in the middle of the seminar? Without Question!

That explains how technology is merging into our lives and its gonna be more of it. We are always connected and our needs and applications are also increasing. It helps when you can make things work for you like this.

While technology can be helpful, using it too much can be counter productive. For instance, checking your e-mail more than a couple times a day wastes a lot of time. It is easy to get caught up with technology and lose the things that really make the progress.

Technology has really come a long way hasn't it ? I know exactly what you mean about checking email, though I have resisted the temptation to check for new email messages while I've been writing this comment at least lol.
