The truly sad part about technology as it advances and how it is used is how often it is under used and a lot of that has to to with executive decisions regarding who gets what; I've been involved in PCs since the days when they first entered the everyday workplace and I have seen the same scenario every time; workloads and time considerations will over-stress the technological abilities of the regular workers actually producing the results, but executives will squeeze the last bit of use out of those workers' outdated/inadequate technology and then wonder why productivity has lessened; in the mean time, those same executives feel no considerations of cost when they select and purchase technology for the own offices; I can't tell you how many times I've had to struggle to keep machines on their last legs operational for the workers while the boss has just purchased the biggest, most powerful desktop or laptop, with the best performance specs, just so they can send and answer their e-mail and schedule their golf games. I can think of only one or two situations where a manager, executive or director has had the wisdom to forego having the most powerful paperweight around on his desk in favor of making sure those who do the actual work have proper and sufficient tools; one upside is the technology has gotten so powerful and complex, a lot of the executive types who I described as impediments are fading slowly form the business world and the task of making the final decisions of tech implementation is falling to CIOs and IT professionals...
