That means information, knowledge, history, ability to transact. Yes, I have what I wanted, everything at my fingertips. And, after doing my local security, I can check every public investment I have made anywhere on earth and I can check my bank accounts and make transactions I deem of import, and I can search for any one or multiple piece of information that I need instantly, with or without Wi-Fi. William Schrader, the founding CEO of PSINet, wrote, вЂњEvery single day: I have private communications with business associates in Europe, Asia, Latin America and in North America, and I receive emails or social media notices from my family members and their extended friends, and I receive the latest news and alerts from 20 different real news publications (such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and the Economist). Mike Liebhold, senior researcher and distinguished fellow at the Institute for the Future, wrote, вЂњAlmost every member of my family regularly uses the internet to inform or improve aspects of their well-being: diet, fitness, health, social interaction with family and friends in person and online, education, entertainment, employment, commerce, finance and civic engagement.вЂќ Having that knowledge was incredible useful for our recent meeting and simply could not/would not have been possible without the use of digital technology.вЂќ Accompany also provided me a very recent article where the person I was meeting with discussed the same issue and current concerns. An app I use Accompany pulled up an email exchange between the two of us a decade ago about an issue we both care about. Recently I had a meeting with someone I didnвЂ™t know well. I have numerous meetings with people I donвЂ™t know or only met once or twice previously. Even when itвЂ™s awful, that first draft is better than staring at that blank piece of paper trying to think of something to say.

Increasingly I use a new free beta AI-based transcription service Temi to dictate my first draft and then edit that draft. I used to write out first drafts of memos longhand. Use of home speakers, Internet of Things, AI and other emerging technologies is just impacting my life and likely will become more central. My entertainment and reading options have exploded exponentially because of new technologies. My wife has gone back to a graduate school program and is much more connected to school because of technology. I monitor my health and keep my physician informed using data technology. I work more from home and have more flexibility and a global client base because of digital technology. Larry Irving, co-founder of The Mobile Alliance for Global Good, wrote, вЂњThere is almost no area in which digital technology has not impacted me and my familyвЂ™s life. There is almost no area in which digital technology has not impacted me and my familyвЂ™s life. That doesnвЂ™t happen because it makes our lives miserable.вЂќ It is so useful that in short order it has become an integral part of all of our lives. That, in itself, speaks to the overwhelming вЂvalueвЂ™ of digital technology. No product is made today, no person moves today, nothing is collected, analyzed or communicated without some вЂdigital technologyвЂ™ being an integral part of it. Louis Rossetto, self-proclaimed вЂњtroublemakerвЂќ and founder and former editor-in-chief of Wired magazine, summed it all up this way: вЂњDigital technology is so broad today as to encompass almost everything. They cited broad changes for the better as the internet revolutionized everything, from the most pressing intellectual and emotional experiences to some of the most prosaic and everyday aspects of existence. The greatest share of participants in this canvassing said their own experience and their observed experience among friends is that digital life improves many of the dimensions of their work, play and home lives.
