Living the age of information! (Introduction)

BlackBerry Curve 9330
Were living in the 21st century, to some people technology is not a big part of their life… in fact technology, like it or not, does play a big role in our everyday life. How many of us own a PC? It is thought that 365 million people use computers globally! How many of us would love to own the new iPhone or iPad? As a matter of fact, invested in a BlackBerry Curve, and approximately 30 million of us worldwide own one! This statistics will keep rising! Communication is a key to technology, think about all the new social networks and mobile phones! On today’s scale ‘Facebook’ has approximately around 750 million users online! However, technology is rarely contemporary; think how much evolutionary actions have taken place over the last 30years… what could we have in the next ten years!? 


Could you personally give up your phone for a week and not get withdrawal symptoms or feel detached from this electronically diverse world? I’ve personally tried this and to be honest, I did struggle quite hard within the week. Did you know, 290million texts were sent New Year's 2011?


I will also be blogging about other types of online services, for example, Real Time information and how we may it helps ease our every day – to – day life… we now have electronic bus timetables to help us find the most accurate time to catch the bus.

Entertainment wise, who has the new PS3 or Xbox Kinect? What does all this mean, and what can it do? These new gaming technology systems can allow you to buy the new ‘Ed Sheeran’ album, and not only that but get it delivered to your door! Could this affect our commerce lives? There are even some nurseries and schools using iPad’s to teach children! Technology can never be contemporary as it always changing... Always! But I will try and use the most contemporary examples in this blog for you my audience readers! These aspects of life will show you how ICT technology does help aid towards the completion and evolution as of our world today. Although, there are benefits to technology, there are also drawbacks…  I will give you a real feel for how it affects our social, professional and personal lives in one clear balanced picture…
