Absolutely a glimpse of the future. But as I approach the time of my life where retirement is something I actually think of, as opposed to being something old people are, I reflect on the past and the coming future.
Is it just me or do we work more hours now than ever. The promise of a better, easier life with technological advances isn't coming true for me yet. Oh ya, entertainment is great and I do enjoy that. I've marketed and gained customers on-line that I otherwise would not have, but by and large, that's the biggest benefit to most of us, entertainment.
In business, technology was supposed to make us more efficient, lean and quicker to respond to customers. What seemed to happen though was now we have to employ an army of tech's constantly upgrading and purchasing high dollar equipment. Any gain or savings is spent on this ever-changing field.
Broad statements I know, just some reflections.
Mark
