Computer-Assisted Communication Technologies (Ch 10)
These include fax, e-mail, video conferencing, voice mail and others. It is surprising to think that businesses ran without these devices. Organizations are definitely running much more efficiently because of these devices. Unfortunately, these technologies have probably also left many people without a job. Once technologies take the place of someone's job the person usually becomes indispensable. This is definitely something to consider when we are developing more forms of communication. Personal contact was also eliminated with these forms of communication. Due to these developments some were able to start or expand their businesses more efficiently and possibly at a lower cost.

I really do love the new technologies we have in our time. Through this, I'm able to keep contact with my customers and clients easier. My work has also been able to start youtube videos, which people adore. I do agree with you though, while technology is really amazing and has helped us come very far, it is taking away a lot of jobs that people could be doing. What companies need to do is to look at the jobs they'll be taking away and see if there is a way they can at least keep some of those people around and give them something else to do.
