Technology, Can It Hurt You or Help You?

The wonders of technology...

So many of us by now are familiar and inundated with technology; emails, internet, cell phones, Blackberry, etc.

But, do they really help or hurt us?

Let's discuss why they can hurt us...

Emails, internet, Blackberry can really suck up a lot of our time. Sometimes, we can actually spend our entire day reading emails. Can you imagine how much work we would be able to get done if all of our time was spent in emails? No thank you. Been there, done that.

Also, with technology we find ourselves with too much information. Having too much information to choose from can make decision making rather a difficult task.

Let's discuss how they can help us...

The Convenience Factor!

Technology allows us to do our work and do it effectively by leveraging these tools. If we need to contact someone and it doesn't need to be very formal, this can all be done by sending a email. Also, if we are searching for a particular topic like n.etwork marketing or web development, we can go right on the internet and perform a search from any of the popular search engines. Wow, technology is so wonderful.

Basically, what it all comes down to is managing and limiting. So that technology does not hurt us, we limit the amount of time spent on the internet and dedicate time, on a daily basis for reading and replying to emails.

This will help us so that we can concentrate on projects, tasks, etc. that need to be completed.

Don't let technology hurt you. Use it to your advantage.

Dedicated to your success,
