I was thinking about how far technology has came in the United States, and it is everywhere! I went to a new doctor’s office last week and they had computerized boards that they enter all information in to. In addition, when they prescribe medicine it is entered into the computer board and it is sent electronically to whatever pharmacy you tell them to forward it to. Then you arrive at the pharmacy, pick your medicine up, and head on home. It is so convenient—is sounds small but I was amazed!

Also, the other day I was craving a junior bacon cheeseburger plain with extra crispy bacon, so my husband proceeded to order the cheeseburger to suit my preferences. He went through the drive thru at Wendy’s and repeated my order to them, exactly the way I had stated it. Nonetheless, he got it home to me and it had everything on it. I was going to try to make it without the burger, but my craving just couldn’t leave so he headed back to Wendy’s. When he explained the mistake to the manager, the gentleman apologized and informed my husband that it wasn’t their fault because the orders are not even taken there at the restaurant! There is a lady that sits in an office in another state, and she has a camera where she can see you, and she takes your order, enters it in a computer, and forwards that order to the restaurant. Isn’t that crazy? I had no idea. Anyway, my point for these drawn out stories is the fact that technology is all around us and we do have businesses that aren’t afraid to try new technological advances. Nonetheless, usually in the end the technology makes life a lot easier—sometimes we don’t see it at first but that is usually the trend.
