The technology we use was not around five or ten years ago and it is crazy to think of life without a cell phone or an iPod. What did people used to do before these new technologies? In my daily life, technology has intertwined with me. Text messaging was new to me, I only got the service in the past two years, and people would look at me funny if I did not have it. Now I cannot imagine life without it. My cell phone has many different tools on it, the calendar, alarm clock and calculator I use daily. Recently I have gotten the iPod touch. Steve Jobs is a smart guy along with all the geniuses at Apple. Not only does my iPod play music but also I have a new calendar, Wireless Internet when I can pick up a signal and applications that I am obsessed with.
With all of this I am sure in a matter of years many written calendars will go out of date and maybe alarm clocks will have a loss. We have already seen the convergence in the iPod touch with now the iPad. I never liked the idea of all of that, until I owned one. I just want to mention something about career convergence too. Because, like I have said before, certain technology has not existed in the past, the job market is moving too. Younger generations are able to do things faster and more effective because they have now been growing up with having a cell phone, using different computer technologies, Facebook and of course the Internet at their fingertips.
Because of all this new technology and behavior, careers are changing. Jobs that I want and hope to get were not around when I first started college, which will most defiantly give me nice advantage. But all of us soon searching for a job better watch out, a job we want and may get might be changing as the technology changes.
