Thanksgiving Post

Over Thanksgiving, I noticed how all of my cousins, aunts, uncles, parents and even my grandma, utilized their iPhone in one way or another. Between taking thousands of pictures, disputing ideas (how many wins do the Patriots have in the last thirteen years), or doing work, my entire family turned to their hand held devices. My mother, who is an incredibly tech savvy woman, is ALWAYS on her phone, even more than here twenty year old daughter. Since I thought this was very interesting, I decided to ask her about the most important information technology in her life. I asked, but I already knew the answer: her beloved iPhone. She answered that the device makes EVERYTHING easier. At the palm of her hand, she has access to the world wide web, a camera, and a plethora of contacts. My mom works at a car dealership doing consumer experience and is always attempting to improve that experience. A few days ago we were in Summit, NJ, when my mom whipped out her phone and said, "I need to take a video of small businesses and how they impact the area in which they are in." My sisters and I were embarrassed at this gesture, my mom looked like a tourist in her own town, but it was cool to see how she utilized her phone. She was able to take out her device and create a movie that she would then present to her boss and then broadcast to consumers relaying the importance of small businesses like her own.
