What Are Some Major New Technologies That Are Affecting The Economy?

     Mobile devices have impacted the productivity of the workplace. In a study of 230 mobile device users, the average user worked 15% more during the day. They have extended the work day, but it hasn't necessarily been a good change. People are using mobile devices more often but most abuse it.

     Home technologies that lead to automation can control items from your television, to your oven, to your thermostat setting. Extreme technologies such as these change our expectations and allow remote access for efficiency. For example, the ability to lower a thermostat setting and turn off appliances and lights not in use can reduce power usage and lower costs. Power can then be shifted to other business needs as necessary.
