Technology in the twenty first century has changed the world as we know it today. The reason I know this for a fact, is due to the lack of face to face communication that we have as humans with one another. Look around. Are you in a public area? How many people are using their cellphones whether it’s with headphones, texting, on a call? Exactly. In this technology driven world, our devices may even come between certain relationships with you and your significant other or friends and family. In an article written by TIME magazine, there is a quote that states, “In other words, people get jealous of their partner’s smartphone.” I can absolutely relate.

This is where he either tells me I can work or lets me know that the schedule is full. With this tool, it makes getting in contact with my manager much easier than showing up to the store that weekend with less chances of getting hours to work.
