Communication
It is through the power of communication that we all exist. Some of the things going on around the world would be more of illusions than reality was it not for the advent of developed communication technology. From the days of sending letters through a slow postal system, to the instantaneous e-mail and SMS service we have today, a lot of problems have been solved. Emergencies can be addressed promptly, and lives are saved. In terms of cost, communication is far cheaper and more valuable in today’s world.
Unlike the olden days, communication is private and more personal. Messages directly to the intended parties instantaneously without having to go through a third party who can easily compromise the authenticity of the message. Even better, there were no guarantees of message delivery, regardless of how urgent or confidential it was.
The Finance Sector
Gone are the days when you’d queue for hours to get to a bank teller for you to get some cash, or make payments. Technology has simplified matters in more ways than one.
Today, the highest number of people do all their transactions online, either through their mobile phones or personal computers. Banks have also rolled out credit and debit cards for their customers, making it really easy to access various amenities courtesy of a simple swipe.
Also, the world is fast adopting mobile banking, which is by far the most convenient mode of transacting as it allows users to send or receive money in their mobile phones.
Shopping made easier
Who would have thought that someday we’ll be able to order anything we wanted online, from the comfort of our living rooms? It doesn’t get any better; there are hundreds of e-commerce platforms operating around the world, where shoppers shop for everything they need right from wherever they are. Goods deliver to your doorstep, even though shipping and delivery fees may apply.
