If you haven’t been living in a cave for the past 5 or so years – you’re probably noticed that the world has gone digitally crazy. The big question for me though is ‘Where will it all end, and how will the digital revolution shape our lives in the future?’. Who would have predicted 20 years ago that we would all be walking around with our very own high powered personal computers in our pockets with the ability to communicate globally in a matter of seconds. People are running their whole lives on their smart phones. They wake you to the alarm on the device, check in on social media, check their calendar, watch their favourite tv show, facetime with their friends, play a few games, send a few emails etc, etc…. The speed of evolution has been incredible. Smart Watches, google eye and driverless cars will be quickly integrated into our everyday lives too.
Who knows what all of our worlds will look like in 20 years time. I’m personally trying to make sure that I find some balance during the digital revolution by restricting my time on my smart phone and other devices. Saying that I do all I can to keep up to speed with technology as I don’t want to get left behind and overtaken by the kids and left in a state of confusion.
Technology is moving super fast and to stay ahead as a business owner I need to move with it. My advice is to be ‘Smart’ and keep up to speed, but don’t get consumed by it.
