I want it now technology

5/9/12 - Votacall Hosted VoIP - Boston, Massachusetts - The other night I was watching some television show with an annoyingly aggresive laugh track when I realized my wife was no longer my terrible television companion and she had not been for some time. I went upstairs to get ready for bed and there she was, in bed and reading a book. Actually she was reading a book on her ipad. I brushed my teeth and went to bed thinking nothing of it. The next morning I woke up took a shower, brushed my teeth, got dressed etc. and when I went in the bedroom to say goodbye to my wife and two girls, I noticed that all three were glued to my wife's ipad playing some learning game. That night I came hoome, we did the routine...dinner, bath, stories, bed for the girls. I went downstairs to veg and my wife did not folllow. I went back upstairs and she was reading her ipad. I asked her if she was reading more lately to which she responded "yes". Whe I asked why, I got the answer anyone involved in Cloud and Hosted VoIP technology loves to hear. She said that when friends recomend books, she downloads them immediatley and she is off and running whereas before she had to make a real effort to get to a book store to buy the book or remember to buy it online, but in both instances the desire to access can fade fast. She said, "it is all about access". It made me think about our generation's ability to adopt technology if it is convenient. It also made me flash back to my wife and daughters on the ipad at 7:00 AM playing around. They are going to devour technology personally and professionally...and with BYOD the words will blend together and it will be the technology that provides efficient, always on access that will win the war. The generations coming up will dictate the market and the market will be total adoption of anything Cloud Based which includes Hosted VoIP. To further my point, I read today that Orangutans are using iPads to communicate. No sign language, grunts or groans, but ipads. If animals are adopting efficient communication tools, it is only a matter of time that all humans do as well. I wonder if they have any good book recommendations for my wife?
