What couldn’t you do without in the Office?
Technological advances seem to take place at almost lightning speed. Relatively speaking it wasn’t that long ago that Mobile Phones were the size of a small briefcase, thirty years or so later and it’s possible to run a business using the latest smartphones. Desktops are increasingly being replaced by laptops and now more commonly tablets, technology is moving quickly but as consumers are hunger for the latest, shiny gadget is insatiable.
Technology we are all told makes all of our lives easier and there’s no doubt the landscape of the modern office is different to the one that workers inhabited in the last century. Easy Offices thought we would test this with some of our staff members, â€ÂDesert Island Discs’ may ask what you would take away with you, but we’ve asked,
