Thank technology every next time you throw an e-mail to your friends, book a trip online, or send a snapshot of your infant to your parents. Technology, and how we use it, has become an inextricable aspect of our daily life. It is so dominant that we would have a difficult time imagining a world without it.

Sandra Johnson used to think that an expert was someone who moved a train. Dr. Johnson, who now works for IBM's Platforms & Technology Group as Chief Technology Officer and Senior Technical Staff Member, feels it is critical for families to invest in technology into their everyday life. "There are a lot of reasons why people can't survive without technology," says Dr. Johnson. Her top picks are as follows:
Technology puts the world to our fingertips, from small and medium-sized enterprises to visual, writing, and musical artists, to information distribution. This is especially beneficial to members of the community, who have historically faced barriers to success in these and other fields. Technology changes the game, allows voices to be heard, products to be promoted, and creativity and ingenuity to thrive.
With the touch of a mouse, people can achieve wonderful things. They can shop for almost anything, pay bills, plan holidays, buy entertainment, wine and dine for less, and use online banking to discover the greatest banking services.
Technology has allowed many people who no longer live next door to their family members to contact on a regular basis in a cost-effective method. They can transmit e-cards, text messages, and make phone calls from one location to another for a quarter of the price of only a few years ago.
Working in the world of technology may be incredibly rewarding. It can also assist you in having a more productive life. The job is fascinating and rewarding, and the financial incentives are reasonably significant. Technology talents are distinctive and in limited supply.
Technology has brought the world to your children's doors. Children's education is aided by technology. Consider what may happen if students spent time making or developing games for the Xbox and PlayStation, or if they utilized their creativity to produce videos, movies, songs, and works of literature. The possibilities and opportunities that technology provides are limitless.
As according Dr. Johnson, there are a variety of organizations that give access to information and training, including Families Technology Awareness Week. "We have to motivate our youngsters to join the next generation of entrepreneurs, researchers, and engineers, and our adults to grow and enhance their technological skills if the world maintain its competitive advantage," she continues.
