Is Technology All That Bad?
I have never been too keen on computers and technology, I have always preferred to work with people, to travel, to see new faces every day, instead of seeing the computer screen, and sitting in front of a desk. But nowadays technology has become vital in all areas, so there is no escape from it, whether you like it or not.
My company decided we all needed to organize our time better. I’m sure a lot of people were slacking on the job, but I sure wasn’t. Besides the laptop and company phone all employees were given when they were hired, the company decided to give us something else, as well. It was a small device, and I must confess I had no idea how that was supposed to help us organize our time better.
We were showed how to use it, and we were told to note down in it everything we do, from contacts to appointments. As I said, I try to avoid technology as much as I could, so it took me a while until I got used to this one. There were times when I forgot to charge it, but after I found a car charger for it everything seemed easy and cool. Soon it became part of my everyday routine.
This is how I got friends with my hp ipaq 211 pda , the gadget that knows everything. The company checks them periodically, so we have to put everything we do into the HP PDA. Some people felt compelled to work extra hard since they’ve got it, but as hard work has always been part of my job, I didn’t have to change anything.
Actually, I’m wrong. It did affect me. When my bosses saw how many appointments I had each day and how much I travelled for them, they decided to promote me. My job chp ipaq 211 handheldhanged, but my PDA remained, and you could even say I owe my new car to it!
