So much technology, so little time!

Today's technology makes life much easier in so many ways: it saves time, it saves energy, and it keeps us in constant communication with everyone. Lately I am experimenting with using Facebook to make announcements about activities and educational programs. I see the value of using it for professional purposes to let people know of upcoming events, etc. Twitter is also a new adventure for me. When Twitter first appeared on the Internet I could not understand its purpose, aside from kids using it to contact their friends with endless thoughts & activities. I'm starting to see this tool differently now, through the eyes of professionals and business. Today I saw a Twitter message from my cousin who sells real estate. What a terrific idea to spread the word of new listings! This week I posted my first announcement about a Workplace Wellness program I am conducting at Trump Casinos in Atlantic City on Twitter. A large step for me into the world of tweets! Watch out world....this digital immigrant is onto techno-gadgets!
