How Technology made our life easier yet more complicated

The other day, I don't have internet connection at home. It was like hell. I felt uneasy all the time, like there is something missing for that day. I know I won't be needing the internet to finish the paper I'm writing, yet I really felt bad. Then a question run through my mind... how did others manage to survive and live with out using the internet before, imagine no Google? or imagine 20 years ago there are no cell phones or dvds or laptops, yet people were able to live.

Technology have really changed the world. It has become part of our everyday life. Once we started using it, we can never go back on where we are from before. It has changed the way we communicate, it has change all our lifestyle. It actually made an orgcom's life easier, yet still more complicated.

There are a lot more media we can use to communicate now. Imagine before as a practitioner, you have limited media to use, like it will be most likely bulletin boards, or printed newsletters, memo, etc... But with technology, you have now have the option to consider websites, emails, group text messages, etc... on top of the old classic way to communicate. So it might it easier to reach people, yet you have a lot more things to consider.

It has change how people in the organization communicate, because of that many organization's structure have change. It is easier to manage a global enterprise, you can work with people from across the world at the same real time. Everything will be within our finger's reach. It made our life easier but made things more complicated We now see a lot of global enterprises, we see a lot of BPOs, we see the same brands everywhere we go, it is like the world is becoming one.

We have now easy access to a lot of information, yet it becomes complicated on choosing what information we are going to use. Technology made things easy for us, yet it have manage to make things complicated. It made us into a more rational being since it requires us to think more of the content, rather than the process.

Shattering the Glass Ceiling of the World.

This glass has not been shattered in most part of the world, and I still believe in that. The US presidential election is one factor that we can take a look to show that this is indeed not broken. We didn't see Hillary Clinton win the primaries over Obama. Nor did we see Sarah Palin become the VP of the country. Everybody was criticizing Palin for being a poor running mate for McCain and maybe a reason for his poor performance. But what I saw is the invincible glass ceiling still up there despite the US being a liberal country who they say treat their woman equally. One of them of winning, might change a lot of things for woman all over the world.

For an organization to shatter this glass, they should have a strong FEMALE leader. Having 2 strong female leaders in our country namely GMA and CORY, have a great impact in our society, amybe helped shatter it a bit. Our top companies here in the Philippines are run by Female, to name a few Tessie Coson is the chairman of BDO and handles SM, Robina Gokongwei of Universal Robina, and many more. We can see a few senators (Pia Cayetano, Loren Legarda, Meriam Santiago), congressman, mayors, who are female

In our own company, my mom is the leader. And because she is a strong woman, it is clearly visible, that the company is dominated by woman. Everybody is treated equally, but the females have been performing better, because they know there is equal opportunity for them within the company. If a female can be a leader, it encourages other female to the same.
