Technology is advancing at a rapid speed, impacting every aspect of life and especially businesses, no matter which industry an entity belongs to. Upon reflecting on today's class, it is important to note that as an employee, adapting to the advancements of technology is important, learning more everyday assists an individual to be an informed user. With new technology, there may be disadvantages that come with it, however being computer literate contributes to an individual being helpful to its organization as there are different departments such as Accounting, Marketing, Finance, Human Resource and Operations, offering different roles which can always be assisted or modified by technology.
