• Aug. 16, 2007 - Do you ever feel like a Dinosaur?

 

I feel older than Dirt!

I have been reading in our local newspaper articles on new methods in which students are being taught in our school system. Reference has been made to the “smart board” which has taken the place of the old chalkboard my age group was familiar with. These electronic boards sound much like a video game to me with the children using some gizmo at their desks to register their answers electronically! Another recent article spoke of the decline in penmanship of our youth, as they seldom write anything but instead type on their keyboards or text message each other.   The task of writing out a paper has become an ordeal that the students of today choose to reject. I, too, only handwrite short notes today and favor a computer-generated letter if the content is of any length. Isn’t it exciting to speculate on what technological advances we will witness in the next decade?
 
I do admit that the modern practice of companies using an automated telephone system is one that often vexes me. The day of talking to a live person initially wasn’t at all bad! In our competitive business, I believe real estate professionals that remember the art of providing personal service are the ones that get those all-important repeat customers and their referrals. Technology is wonderful when it works hand-in-hand with individual service.
 
 P. S. - Never be afraid to try something new. Remember: Amateurs...built the ark. Professionals...built the Titanic
