Contrary to our discussion in class, this article argues that technology use as positively transformed the workplace by improving communication (removing spatial boundaries, allowing for global communication), revamping the recruiting process (can target candidates using digital marketing, electronically screen candidates to save time), encouraging efficiency (through electronic filing) and lastly, increasing mobility (decreasing travel costs, establish global presence). Though I agree with these points, my personal experience suggests that increased dependence on technology (computers, phones, email, social networking, etc) has caused me to become impatient, more forgetful, and easily agitated when idle. Technology is a double-eded sore with great positive effects and equally damaging negative outcomes. Discipline and good judgement are necessary to maximize the benefits of technology.
