You are now Under Marshall Law

The war is on and no one is safe from it, you can run but you can't get away from it...The war you are wondering is the PLATFORM WAR. Ever tried to call someone and they did not answer,but text you back? How did that go over with you? Chances are not too well. But its reality, and what do you do with reality? Accept it. If not, hardship will follow. Truthfully speaking, it is not that serious, However I read in article in the AMNY which presented an entire forum for the debate over this sign of the times:

"For more than a century, almost everyone agreed that a phone call was the best and often only way to reach out and touch someone, to quote the Ma Bell commercials. But today, it’s our lives against countless inboxes as we jockey with various degrees of aggression and passivity to communicate in our preferred means: scratchy cell or high-fidelity land line phone calls, text messages, Twitter, Facebook, emails, Skype — why not throw in smoke signals and interpretive dance?'

'The individual with the most power in the professional or interpersonal hierarchy is the person who generally determines how a communication will occur, noted Gilbert Melott, founder and president of dog-ear labs, a GenY marketing firm. “If the boss only wants to communicate with you by PowerPoint, email and the morning meeting, those will be the three ways you communicate with him,” Melott pointed out. "(http://www.amny.com/urbanite-1.812039/platform-wars-how-technology-is-changing-the-way-we-talk-1.2845447)

think about that for a minute. I heard it said, "the Deejay controls the music that everyone dances to." I was fascinated by that analogy, and it made total sense. Generational divides aside, we have become slaves to technology and the chains are almost impossible to break away from. If you cannot adapt or cope you are lost.

Tip to Remember:

People more often than not feel overworked and under-compensated: However you can make a persons job easier, try it. Visual representation always work. If you can see it, you are less likely to forget.
