Technology has come a long way. Today’s smartphones are just as powerful as the computers we have at phone. Even more, they are smaller and portable. It has all of the important features like contacts and scheduling. Most smartphones comes with an easy-to-navigate calendar with alarms. It also comes with videoconferencing applications like Skype and FaceTime. This is a quick and cheap (after the initial costs) way to bring people together in one location. Smartphones can also increase productivity as it allows one to create, edit, file, scan and share documents.

Aside from the ways mentioned above, technology has also changed the way businesses operate. Businesses have grown into trading goods and services via the Internet. E-commerce works between businesses and/or between business and consumer. It provides another source of revenue for many organisations. It also gives another channel of distribution. E-commerce allows businesses to expand the target market and reduce costs such as operating and storage. I believe technology will keep on improving and it will be for the good of businesses all around.
