Here are some ways to clear the concerned characters appropriately:-

POST EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY- TEXT MESSAGE

2011-09-26T00:22:00.000-07:00

Technology has become an integral part of our life. We have all kinds of gadgets surrounding us everywhere, be it our workplace or our home. But the main question that arises in my mind is that weather the technology is shifting our societal norms! We are so much dependent on technology that we don’t know exactly how to function in a world void of it. Here are 5 simple text messages used by women who surely affect the other person favorably, or unfavorably:-

1) Texting in between a conversation
Women are mostly quite particular that they don’t miss even a single call, text or an email. That may be in between of cooking, taking bath, sleeping or even at the time of quarrel with her boyfriend. They just want to make sure that they are available on their phone 24x7. Nothing is more annoying than not having the attention of the person you are with. It surely hampers your relation adversely.

2) On phone while driving
Women are most likely found busy on their cell phones, when they are driving. They find the driving time most appropriate to carry out their long gossips and bitching sessions. This is the most distracting activity carried out while driving. As a result it’s a known fact, that if your eyes are not on the road then you are a reckless driver. Therefore, women are tagged as “bad drivers”.

3) Updating on FB and Twitter
Facebook and Twitter have expanded their definition in our lives with respect to time and importance .Over-sharing is the most common activity on Facebook, especially by women. It can not only affect your daily routine but also can hamper your availability to your closed ones.

4) Making unnecessary short forms
Nowadays, it seems like our general language is being converted into phonetic spellings and language of quick communicators. It really makes the decoding part for the other person a bit difficult. Texting your regular friends would surely understand your random acronyms, but your family, co-workers or heaven forbid, your boss receives your text in such language, it may surely cause a problem.

5) Using Text message as a savior
You always tend to get late for a meeting with any person. It may be useful for you to make the excuse of delivering a message about being late, but surely it won’t help in case of your boss. So be sure that you take care of the excuses, where you are using them.

TECHNOLOGY FIELD – AN UPHILL BATTLE FOR WOMEN

2011-09-20T00:48:00.000-07:00

It’s truly said that the facts lay down an exact and an appropriate picture. Women constitute 50% of the US workforce, but only 25% retain themselves into the technological industry. Despite logical growth in the entrepreneurship, women lead only 8% of the start-ups. Women are considered much more intelligent in college level, but very few women represent the senior management posts in various industries.

There are various issues which women face in their career progress like Gender stereotypes, workplace flexibility, role models and education. These obstacles not only hamper the growth of the female executives but positively offer hope for the next generation of tech savvy women. As the women has to take care of work, house work as well as children, which results in embracing the duality of parenting and professionalism.

With advancement of technology every day, it becomes essential for everyone to strike the rapid speed of their updating. With so many gadgets, cellular phones, iPods and ipads around, there is no stopping to the world going techno-savvy. But the main botheration is- Are women able to catch up?

Today’s women having so much to do in her routine .i.e. acting the backbone of her family, being a responsible working women , socializing and so on. There is so much to do for her in so less time. It has been generally noticed that despite of the considerable growth in the nature of jobs from manual to going high tech, the gender disparity has always exceeded majorly in the corporate world. With so many options among the labor pool, the world has grounded the manual actions of people. The people with engineering, math and science backgrounds are also opting for techno oriented jobs.

According to statistics published by Labor Dept. Report, The ratio of women engineers is diminishing extensively. With women representing 3 out of every 10 system analysts, female scientists are also diminished to 30% of the field. The actual reason is not clear, that weather the interest of women is lowered down or weather the opportunities are less! As technology has been stereotyped for geeks, in the same manner there has been no area which is totally taken over or ruled by women. There are very few female top executives who are still running major technological corporations.

The concerned industry has quite few women in number than the broader corporate world. Lesser the number of women issuing the leadership roles more is the unfavorable effect in the world of technology. In order to break down the barriers of developing talents, Mentoring them further, socializing and creating opportunities that relate to women’s work, life sensibilities are essential to reverse the trend.
