At Home Apps Going To Work


In recent news reporters have said that all of the different apps used at home on your personal computer are migrating to the work computer. People have always said the phrase "why can't I do that at work whenever they are at home. One example of the things that are going to shift is the way you use your instant messanger. You will be able to do video confrences and with much clearer quality. This makes it easier for people to converse around the world with each other.

Now the new thing that people are trying to bring into work is facebook. Now I beg to wonder why people would need this at work but I guess there could be some benefits. With someone not online at the moment you need them you could send them a message so they can get it later but what gets me is why couldnt e-mail work just as well as that. Most of what facebook has to offer is to converse with people that e-mail can already take care of.

Now if you modify facebook a bit and make all that information about you to differnt updates and schedules people can see and what not then I could see it being quite usefull for the work place. What would be interesting is to see if the addiction of facebook that we see right now in people will cause an addiction in the work place and people can't get things done.
