Isn't technology great?

Isn't Technology grand??

A well dressed customer in business attire comes into my store this morning and as per the usual question asks, *Do you have wifi*?  I proceed to take her order, give her and her associate their coffee, and the *secret* code to the internet.

As it turns out this customer is going to be giving a presentation to 100 people.  As she also needs to be in this area for another meeting she told me what better way to kill two birds with one stone.  Multi-tasking?  Time management?  Who would have thought?  Isn't it grand how far we have come in our technology?

We see people in our store, Face Timing.  This is where they can talk on their phone and see the person they are talking to, even in another country (ie. England) and its FREE.  But...if they were just to call them the *normal* way they would have to pay for the long distance.

Skype is another one.  This again can be done anywhere; we have customers doing this as well, whether it be for business interviews, meetings or just catching up with a friend across the world.  Again - I think this is FREE.   I have never skyped - but hear about people doing it all the time.

I find all this technology fascinating. How far we have come from the dial up phone, the huge wind up phone (way before my time) the can and string... Do I understand half of this new technology?  Absolutely not - do I have or have I had time to do Face Time or video chat?  Nope...lol...but...you never know what may lie in  the future.   

Enjoy your day everyone....happy chatting!!
