Does it ever work?

How has technology changed your job?

When I was a younger person we did everything with the good old fashioned pen and paper, this was a writing implement containing ink, not dissimilar to the tool your local tattoo artist might use. You had to operate it yourself to put information from a person directly onto a bit of paper – for the younger people that weren’t fortunate enough to use this method – you wrote it out which had the added bonus of said notes sticking in your head.

Then along came technology… suddenly you didn’t have to remember anything at all, you didn’t even have to know how to spell, imagine that! All you had to do was get yourself in roughly the right area and you were away.

It got so good that many people didn’t have to go out to work, they simply did it from home, in their pyjamas, sitting on the sofa. Progress is a marvellous thing isn’t it. You can team chat, facechat, Skype to your heart’s content without ever having to see another human ever again! You can change how you look with a nifty little widget (I thought a widget was something they put in a can of Guinness in all honesty)

Yes, I would say technology has definitely changed the way some do their job. Has it changed mine? Not unless a robot that is waterproof turns up – watch this space.
