Technology and the Way it has changed the Average Office Setting

There was a time when every office employee got up and went to the brick and mortar location of the business they worked for. The majority of business had multi-level buildings housing their employees, and different portions of the business had their offices located on different floors.
An intercom system within the building allowed some employees to talk directly to other employees without leaving their desk or offices. The telephone systems were usually elaborate and allowed people within the office complex to call each other, or transfer calls to each other so they could collaborate on projects they were working on.
Memos were typed and delivered to the different personnel throughout the building that would be affected by the information on the memo. Many times the memos did not make it to the right people, or they were discarded without being read, and projects suffered losses because of this.

Technology has replaced the way files are shared and the way people communicate

Technology was employed to create ways for people to communicate with one another, and ways for people to send information to each other. Hard files that were shared between the members of a team were replaced with digital files that could be shared throughout the office computer system. Then technology became so advanced that people could connect to their office data bases via home computers and files were shared across miles.
Technology gave us smart phones, tablets, and mobile devices so we are no longer tethered to our desks. We can access almost everything we need to do our jobs from our telephones. People now work from home, from vacation resorts, and from remote locations.

Technology has become more secure with time

Technology was not without its flaws along the way. A lot of people learned that the security of their information once it was transmitted on line was not as great as it should be. People learned to steal the information of others and it became easier than ever for someone to assume the identity of another person.
Technology stepped in with security measures to help us protect information that should be private or confidential. The security measures in place today are harder to infiltrate so more people feel safe about sending private, personal, or financial data over the Internet.
Technology allowed us to connect bank accounts so our employers no longer have to write us checks. Many people receive a direct deposit into their checking accounts and never see a paper check from their employer.
