Technology in the Workplace

There are many reason why you should have technology in your workplace. In this blog I want to talk about some important advantages technology provides employers with everyday life tasks and how technology saves money as well. Business technology improves communication between employees and/or business to business. Office workers are not limited to phone calls or face-to-face interaction with each other anymore. With technology, employees can send email instantly without interrupting the other person, even if they are busy working on something else. Meeting are another advantage because with technology, employees can do a presentation on PowerPoint and present a very knowledgeable presentation to other employees. Meetings can also take place online and through skype. Skype is a online video chat that allows one user to video call someone else. For business, technology has help them in the recruiting process so that each potential interview does not have to take place in person right away. Employers can do telephone interview now and eliminate potential people who won't get the job. With telephone interviews, this saves employers time and money. Technology in the workplace practically eliminates space and time with video conferencing technology allowing businesses on any part of the globe to interact with one another. Technology also reduces travel costs because businesses can set up virtual meetings and distribute data without the need to be in the same room. So as you may already see, technology has a huge impact on the day-to-day tasks that goes on at organizations. This process decreases time and cost spent on these tasks and helps the company overall obtain efficiency.

Who is Apple Inc?

Founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, Apple was established to sell a personal computer kit. Throughout the years Apple created more and more technology from computers to phones to music technology. Apple has become the biggest technology business in the world just by being more innovated than their competitors. In 2007-2011, the success with mobile devices became known and Apple took advantage of this opportunity. With Apple producing the iPod allowing people to have a handheld device that could hold more than 1000 songs, people soon knew who Apple was. With Apple improving their generations of the iPod, Apple also invented the iPhone, the first smartphone of this generation. Within years Apple became the most profitable technology company in the world. They upgraded their products and continued innovating rapidly. Apple didn't just become an music and phone industry but started expanding and moved into the computer industry as well. The MacBook was first launched in 2006 and wasn't very popular then. It was relaunched in 2015 and since the technology was so popular then, the Macbook was very popular to everyone. There was no specific age to which Apple advertised or made their products for. Their main purpose and goal was to have every consumer to experience the most out of their products. The company also believes in high-quality products that will stay and work for the consumer for years to come. With this type of quality, the consumer has loyalty to Apple and decreases the chances of them switching to other companies/competitors.

About Brett Baker

Hello! My name is Brett Baker and I'm writing Digital Storybooks for kids to help children who are bored of reading or don't find it very fun to experience a whole new adventure they can have buy just choosing different choice. I'm also writing this blog to share my ideas for kids to become more interacted in what they are learning. I am a student at Illinois State University and am also engaged to a beautiful women who is also attending the same school. We both volunteer at our church each Sunday in the children ministry, ages 3-4 pre-school, and we love working with the kids and teaching them. Every Sunday after the early church service, we would go back and meet up with our kids ranging from 10 to 25 kids each week, and we would greet the parents and kids at the same time and would play with the kids, teach them about Jesus, and read to them until their parents came back from their church service. I enjoy being with the kids and seeing them at this age solving problems and making decisions. 

What made me think of this Digital Storybook was the thought of how this technological world is now turning kids minds and attention to televisions and other screens and tech stuff. So why not create something that will be up to date with the other technology but will also teach the kids to learn and become adventurous and creative with what they are trying to accomplish.
