Let’s face it, the crazy years of going to house parties and dancing until I drop to overly loud music are over. Now, I find myself in more mellow, business-like situations–drinking some iced tea with some appetizers and talking about business and world news.
My generation does not like newspapers nor do we really like to watch the boring news. Not because they’re boring, but its just old. Old people do that. Us “young” kids rely heavily on today’s tech, namely the internet and cell phones. This is what we want:
- Instant gratification
- Fast, easy, accessible information when/where we want it
- Clear, clean, crisp information
- Fun, interesting, and up to date info right when we need it
Which is how my cell phone saved me at a get together this weekend…
More often than not, I find myself waiting for someone or just checking the latest news on my cell. Verizon’s unlimited internet access has really benefited me…I know find myself up to date with what’s going on in the world, not just in tech, but in all sorts of things.
Now that I’ve started to spend more time with professionals, I found that I needed to stay up to date with current news so I can connect with them in conversations. Otherwise, I just get pushed aside. My cell phone has made it so much easier and fun!
Ive discovered a fun, fast, and easy way for me to stay up to date. I can do this whenever I want and practically anywhere. It practically saved me at my recent get-together and I know ill refer to it often. Better yet, it’s made me become a more well-rounded professional.
Fast, accessible, and relevant information is all I want…it’s not that hard, but companies still fail–Facebook hasn’t though.
