The world is now smaller than ever and more interconnected through technology. There is a vast abundance of knowledge that is available 24/7 on the Internet that is easily accessible through electronic devices. Technology now allows people to seamlessly be connected and share information through various modes of communication such as cell phones, instant messaging, computers, as well as many other devices. Technological advances have also affected information management through the creation of computers and super computer chips that are able to process and analyze information at lightening speeds that no human ever could. Advances in touch screen software have quickly changed the game of electronics and has led to the development of no-touch interfaces, which are hands-free devices that use technology, such as voice recognition, cameras, motion sensors, and motion control systems, to provide an alternative means of interacting with a mobile device or computer (Satell, 2013). Another advancement that is expected to become a major element of technological change in the future is near field communication (NFC), which uses special protocols and computer chips to create a wireless link that can transmit two-way data, allowing them to essentially communicate with other nearby devices (Satell, 2013). Cloud storage will also play a major role in information management, as many more things are stored virtually on the web instead of as hard physical copies. Technological advances will continue to affect organizations and drive information management in the future as new discoveries and advances are
