 Theories of technology often attempt to predict the future of technology based on the high technology and science of the time. As with all predictions of the future, however, technology is uncertain. Innovations continued through the Middle Ages with innovations such as silk-manufacture , the horse collar and horseshoes in the first few hundred years after the 5th-century fall of the Roman Empire.

Ideally, given their advantages, such policy changes will stay in place after the initial pandemic ends. Innovators and entrepreneurs are thinking of creative solutions to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, and policymakers should look to remove regulatory red tape that may prevent such response. If such regulations are unnecessary during a time of crisis, then policymakers should reconsider the purpose behind them more generally. Also Read How Technology Reshaped Civic Engagement

Technologies are not usually exclusively products of science, because they have to satisfy requirements such as utility, usability, and safety. Technology can be viewed as an activity that forms or changes culture. Additionally, technology is the application of mathematics, science, and the arts for the benefit of life as it is known. A modern example is the rise of communication technology, which has lessened barriers to human interaction and as a result has helped spawn new subcultures; the rise of cyberculture has at its basis the development of the Internet and the computer.

Even when communication isn’t a two-way thing, you need to have the tools in place for customers to self-serve. Nowadays, some technologies seem like they belong in a Sci-Fi movie. For example, you can order products by voice command on IoT devices and even try products via augmented reality. A CRM means you can keep track of all interactions with clients or customers across multiple communication channels. Automation can provide useful, speedy responses to customer queries, issues, or complaints. After all, consumers say the most important attribute of customer experience is fast response times (75%).

There are also subcultures that disapprove of some or most technology, such as self-identified off-gridders. Another prominent critic of technology is Hubert Dreyfus, who has published books such as On the Internet and What Computers Still Can't Do. Many, such as the Luddites and prominent philosopher Martin Heidegger, hold serious, although not entirely, deterministic reservations about technology (see "The Question Concerning Technology").

• At the same time, they could be accessing checklists completing a daily report using a heads-up display.
• You can send them a message on social media, text them, video chat, email, or put a call through.
• Hospitality professionals turn to Operations & Technology as their go-to source for breaking news on guestrooms, food & beverage, hospitality and technology trends, management and more.

73 percent of 120 U.S. company executives surveyed by the consulting company PwC between May 29 and June 4, 2020, declared that shifting almost their entire office workforce to remote work during the pandemics has been a success. More than half of executives expect to extend remote work to at least one day a week post-COVID. Some technology companies, for instance Facebook, Twitter, Slack, and Square, have already declared that they will allow part of their workforces to work from home post-pandemic. Because they are operating under a policy framework that does not have overly precautionary barriers to entry, innovative companies have been able to develop new products that have improved our lives in an especially trying time. For example, video chats help us stay more connected and are growing faster than ever. Meanwhile, a number of internet platforms have helped provide important information about COVID-19. For example, Google launched a coronavirus information website with state-based information and safety and precaution tips as well as enhanced search results with information related to the pandemic.

Not only have new technological advancements led to greater efficiency in day-to-day operations, but they’ve also created new opportunities for companies to gain a competitive edge and focus on strategic growth. Town halls and traditional media still have a place within the civic arena, but increasingly organizations, leaders and decision makers are meeting the people where there are—online. VIP is often much easier to use than sometimes cumbersome government websites. Users enter an address on VIP, and voting information for that address pops up. Additionally, VIP’s information has powered lookup tools across a multitude of platforms. “Voters are used to doing everything online, and finding out where to vote and what’s on their ballot is becoming routine,” Schuler said.
