Whether at work or home, today’s technology is ready to simplify our experience.
Consider the smartphone: Talking and texting represent the bare minimum of what it allows us to do. Combined, Google Play and Apple’s App Store host nearly 6 million apps to help us accomplish everything from learning a new language to reminding us to drink more water.
In the working world, tech seems to pay off. According to a December 2020 OnePoll survey commissioned by Paycom, 4 in 5 employees said it helps them get more done faster.
But what about when tech doesn’t make things easier?
Simply accepting bad tech isn’t a forgone conclusion. To understand how the right software can truly help us and our organizations, however, we need to consider how our brains respond to overstimulation.
