'Tis the season to mix and mingle, but if technology has it's way, social gatherings will stop being traditional and start being techy!
Over the past week, reports have surfaced that indicate personal interacting will be a thing of the past. The first example pertained to PNC Bank eliminating their tellers in favor of their clients' ATM preference. The second example focused in on the restaurant chain, Applebee's and their decision to place tablets on tables for entertainment and ease of payment.
Such plans will reduce the amount of time people will need to speak to one another and increase the "evils" that come with being wired all of the time. These "evils" include, but are not limited to, askewed work / life balances, strained personal and professional relationships and weakened overall health. *
In order to keep up with the trends, but remain in touch with the cherished traditions of personal interacting, make it a point to send written notes and plan special visits this holiday season.
Texting simply will not send the same cheer!
