Too Much Technology? Your Technology Fillintheblank Answers

Technology and social media seem to be taking over the news and revolutionizing business and social life. There is so much talk about the newest smart phone and how Youtube, Twitter and Facebook are being used by marketers to target their customers.

Recently actor Richard Dreyfuss criticized technology for killing our time and our ability to think. What do you think? We offered the following on our Facebook, Twitter, and other media sites, asking users to fill it in:

"A world so driven by information and technology is:__________."

Here are a few of the answers we received:

• "a world that is losing sight of human interaction" - Jonathan Parker (through Facebook)
• "annoying! turn off technology for a minute and rest" - yoaaa (through Yahoo Meme)
• "Out of touch with reality. Just kidding... Dangerously informed, way over-hyped, but with the potential for being very helpful. Negative example: 'The Summer of Lebron' Positive Example: Simplifying and revolutionizing the way business is done" - Michael Bailey, Amplivox employee
• "Revolutionizing business and social interactions but also reall scary with all of the information available and lack of privacy." Kevin Halloran, Amplivox employee
• "The problem's plain to see // Too much technology" Mr. Roboto by Styx

At Least Politicians Can Agree on One Thing: Amplivox Sound Systems and Lecterns

"A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen."
-Winston Churchill

These days nothing seems to be as divisive as bringing up politics in a conversation. There are many gray issues in politics like education, universal healthcare, the environment, the role of the government, and even government involvement in large corporations.

Even when politics can be frustrating and confusing, there is one thing that is not a gray issue: the quality of Amplivox Sound Systems and Lecterns. Illinois Congressman Mark Kirk, Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, and President Barack Obama have all used various Amplivox products to communicate their messages.  (Click on the following links to watch our Youtube videos: Sarah Palin Uses Amplivox Pinnacle Lectern and Barack Obama Makes Sure His Message is Heard with Amplivox Megaphone)

Amplivox is proud that we participate with GSA Government contracts. Click on the previous link to go to our GSA Contract page that includes price lists for the different contracts, or go to the GSA Advantage website and search for the product you want.
