LEIA O ARTIGO SOBRE TECNOLOGIA E
RESPONDA A QUESTÃO.
Modern and convenient — or are they?
history, people have felt that they are
the most modern generation. Ever since the
invention of the wheel or the building of the first
bridge, people have said that the things now are
more advanced, more efficient than ever before.
This has never been truer than in the early twenty
first century. We love — and sometimes hate – our
computers and related technologies. But do we use
them well?
Take mobile phones, for example. They started as
an expensive luxury, used by the very rich, and
have become a necessary item of business
equipment. We can’t image without one. But many
of those calls are not half assurgent as we think.
Most people talking on the phone on the train could
easily wait until they in the office – and they should
remember that the other passengers can hear what
they are saying: what if one of your competitors is
sitting on the train, too?
Then take email. It hasn't always been here.
Business worked with letters and phones for a very
long time before email, but these days everybody
seems to use it — but do they use it well? People think it’s quick, and that it makes everything quicker,
and that quicker is good. But we need to be careful
as well as quick. So, before you click to send the
reply to that very urgent message, check it through
carefully. People often just use the spell-check, but
make sure the facts are correct, too, and that your
message is polite.
Or take online ordering. This Has been with us for a
very short time, but already there are businesses
that run only online. What some companies forget
is that older customers often have a lot of money to
spend. But this type of customer wants to talk to a
person, not a machine.
