The real great promise of technology, in my opinion, is that it is supposed to save us time. All too often, however, it has the opposite effect. Take the smart phone for example. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Droid, but do you think I spend more or less time now checking e-mail, monitoring my Facebook and Twitter accounts, and texting than I did before the Droid? You guessed it...way more time. Add to that the time spent searching for and downloading the latest apps, playing silly games, and having virtual light saber duels with co-workers and I probably added an extra hour to my day...every day. It's fun. It's convenient. But save time? I don't think so.
One great exception to this contradiction seems to be...video. The YouTube revolution perfectly addresses the issue of the ever shrinking collective patience of modern society. Take this video for example...<<WATCH THE COOL VIDEO>>
Decades of mobile shelving applications condensed into one minute and eight seconds. You don't have to flip through pages of a product brochure or navigate through pages of a website to get the basic gist of what compact shelving can do for your business or your clients. Just kick back for a little over a minute, rock out to a cool tune and absorb. Then when you're done...e-mail the link to your friends and co-workers.
Now that's technology!
