Chapt. 8 Digital Age

How has the move to digital information affected the communication tools important to both the business world and life outside of work?  How has the “digital age” affected you in your life?

Digital information has affected almost every aspect of our lives good and bad. Look around us and you'll see how wired we are. Thanks to the Internet virtually anything you want can be delivered to your door in a matter of days. Personal information is more accessible over the Internet as well -- you can look up everything from a long-lost cousin to the registered sex offenders in your neighborhood. Parents don't need to lose sleep waiting for their teenage child  to come home , they can just call their cell phone, or send an crazy text, to check up, sometimes that works! Before digital information we couldnt contact our children , friends, or family members that easliy. We had to use phones that took forever to dial or even pay phones. just how everyday people's personal lives have changed so has the business world too. Digitial information made business's life of communication so much easier. As far as when it comes to important files for a business they now can store them on a computer instead of in a file cabinet where it could get messy. Instead of using regular postage mail they can now use email. Smartphones nd Iphones have been it easir for people to work from home because they are basically mini computers you can hold wit your hand.
