Technologies, are we too obsessed with them? In “10 Surprising Social Media Statistics…”, Bella Beth Cooper (2013) states that more than 189 million people use smartphones to log into Facebook rather than using their laptops. The first computer was the size of a room and operated manually using tons of cables. It was too big and too expensive at the time. But over time, computers became smaller with the introduction of the personal computer (PC), and became smaller with laptops and even smaller with the release of smartphones. Now anyone can buy a smartphone that can perform tasks that a PC or laptop can. The following reasons will show why we are too dependent on technology. Work and business are highly dependent on the use of the Internet. Sending and receiving emails, online shopping and advertising have changed the way business is done. In “Why the Internet is Important in Business,” Chris Blank (nd) states that all businesses large and small know the importance of creating a website and social media pages for the business. According to Blank (nd), having a social media page or website will increase the company's publicity. For example, Old Spice is an old company and it needed to increase its sales; To do this, they made crazy and funny commercials and posted them on YouTube and Twitter. After 7 months, the company's sales increased by 107 percent. The company's sales increased tragically because YouTube is a media-heavy website and YouTubers like crazy and funny videos; With this, the number of views reached millions of views per video, which led to an increase in sales of Old Spice products. Internet relaying is now a major factor in the success of a business. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest..., with the development of social networks people can no longer do without them.... middle of paper..... .use of technology. Finally, you should not post unnecessary material on social media. References: Blank, C. (nd). Why is the Internet important in business?
