Hypo Venture Capital Headlines: Debate on modern technology in the classroom needs a reboot - The-looser-it-s-me

There’s no doubt that technology brings with it some scary things. The scariest of them all is the uncertainty.

Human beings are creatures of habit and the introduction of anything new typically raises an eyebrow (at least) or pitchforks (more often). It’s a somewhat common theme that is tiresome to me, but one that provokes debate throughout the times.

The common gripe against smartphones and mobile devices is that they are shackles that handcuff an employee to their work – 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

While your boss may have an expectation that because you have a BlackBerry you should be responding to emails at 6 a.m. on a Saturday (emergency or not), this is less about your boss’s disposition and more about a lack of education as to how to use technology to get the best results.

First off, start saving right NOW and keep going at it until you retire. You should also be aware of your needs once you've retired. You might also want to consider some investment plans to provide you passive income. And lastly, do NOT touch yourretirement savings.

Many people are shocked to hear my iPhone never makes a peep. I get one silent vibrate for text messages (and I’m quick to block those that I do not know) and two vibrations for a phone call.

My iPhone will not beep, vibrate or blink when emails, tweets or Facebook updates arrive. Why? It’s my job to best manage my technology (and not the other way around).

The people I work with know that email is the best form of communication with me and that if it’s an emergency, to please call.

On the other side of this communication, I check my emails (and other digital notifications) when I want to (not in the moment that they happen). The phone does ring, but it’s only on a rare occasion (for those emergencies).
