With this, people would not have to carry around notes, notepads, and pens and pencils. People using the devices can make phone calls and text fellow co-workers if they need something rather than having to track them down. Consequently, hand-held communication devices can include misuse of the devices. People may just surf the web or text whomever rather than doing their job. Having the whole internet at your fingertips is another big problem because employees will rely on the internet, as opposed to legitimately knowing how to care for the
