HC - Mobile Technologies
Over the years, technology has been forever advancing. In 2013, there are many mobile technologies, such as laptops, mobile phones, iPods and Kindles. People have become reliant on technology, and mobile technology is allowing people to access their apps wherever they desire. Also with mobile technologies, it allows businesses to let people work from home, which is more cost efficient for the business as they are not having to purchase the necessities for their employees, as they will be able to use their own computers and desks.
I agree working from home is more cost efficient for the business and allows the staff to have more freedom with when they do the work. However for the staff this can be bad as they have to supply there own internet and computer. The negative for the business is that they cannot supervise them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both the statements, but I think that being to access information and communicate to friends, family and work colleges. With the ability to access work e-mails on the go people can bring work to them, where ever they will be. This cuts down the time for people to reply to e-mails enabling decisions to be made quicker.
ReplyDeleteTo summarise, these comments are showing agreement to my first statement, however I have also learnt that mobile technologies are allowing information to be shared quicker and decisions to be made quicker. These comments have confirmed my thoughts that allowing employees to work from home, businesses are saving money due to the decrease in necessity to provide them with materials, however I have learnt that a down side to this is that the business is unable to fully supervise them. Also, home life and work life are mixing, because of the easy access to the work due to these mobile technologies.
