We’re living in the era of acceleration, and technology is the main driver. Technology has changed the way we communicate, shop, find a parking space, do our banking, date, exercise, learn… you name it. And the technological advancements from the last one or two years are more numerous and carry a greater impact on our lives than those from the last 10 to 15 years.
Everything seems to be galloping towards the future.
At least on an individual level. Because many companies, educational institutions, and other types of organizations seem to be stuck in the past, technology-wise. If they’re not stuck, a lot of them are having a hard time keeping up.
Many people juggle with two smartphones, a tablet, a laptop, a Kindle, and a smartwatch in their personal lives like a pro, yet when they go to work they have to use a decade-old PC. They may even have to use an older version of a browser because some internal program works best with that particular browser version.
