I saw this interesting article in the newspaper where Toronto taxi drivers are using phone apps to find fares. Interesting because, instead of using " a centralized dispatch centre to connect drivers with passengers", this method seems better. It's the way of the future and traditional jobs will be phased out or downsized due to technology. It's happened in other areas...bookstores, record stores, video stores. And I'm sure history is repeating itself...you know how the horse and buggy were replaced by cars, etc. It's hard to keep pace with change, and easier to look back in hindsight!
I got this in an email and thought it would be a nice Saturday share!

My children all do so much differently from us and know so much more due to computers and other technology. It's a whole different world and things keep changing faster and faster. It's really hard to keep up.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute cartoon. However, we still have a corded landline phone in addition to wireless phones. When the electricity is down and cordless, wireless or cell phones cannot work, I am still able to call out with the corded landline, because it does not depend on electricity.
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting Christine. Yes it is changing alright. Just in the time we have been blogging we can see the changes bought about by other social media like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. I don't even bother to keep up really until i need to use something.
ReplyDeleteTrue, the world is changing fast! Love the cartoon! Valerie
ReplyDeleteAs they say, you can't stop progress. Although it will probably be sometime before it's taken up in our local town, a bit of a back water to say the least! Love that cartoon.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very funny cartoon:-) A thought provoking post. While progress is good, I sometimes wonder what we loose in the process on a relational/community level... Wendell Berry has made me ponder these things quite a bit lately!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh that cartoon is so funny!!
ReplyDeleteYou really gave pause for thought today,
yeah a lot of industries have been hurt and helped by change.
