Technology in Business

“The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency. “

-Bill Gates 

Sometimes I wonder what people did all day when they only had pen and paper on their desk. I love technology, but we must make sure that we are using technology and avoid it using us. It is very easy to spend our day reacting to the technology around us, instead of proactively scheduling our time. I am not saying tech is bad it would be a little tough to deliver all of our glass via horse and buggy. Technology can be beneficial for the small business owner or office manager.
