After having had mobile email for 3 years, I gave up my data service on my blackberry when I enrolled in business school in July 2007 (in an attempt to save money). Only when I started recruiting for my summer internship and was elected co-president of the women’s student association in April 2008, did I realize that in order to effectively manage my email correspondence (i.e. respond to email within ...

I have owned a computer since I was 16 and a laptop for a few months now, as it had become an absolute necessity for my studies, and especially for team working and presentations. I have ...

As an MBA student, new communication technologies (e-mail, internet, messenger,…) are an essential part of my life. Moreover I have been working for 7 years in an advertising agency, managing international accounts, which make even more important the use of these modern technologies in a daily basis.

I use ...

I still remember the first time I bought a cell phone. It was the Fall of 2000 and we were in the midst of our first major snow of the year in Cambridge. I had my car at school, but had never driven in snow. Unfortunately, my first time to drive in it did not end well and I ended up hitting a concrete piling, which blew out my tire. ...

18th century British political theorist and natural philosopher Joseph Priestley wrote that “The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.” Does this hold true in today’s world, where the channels of communication are incredibly diverse and accessible? For me personally the answer is ‘no’. New technology is only a tool that I use to achieve the end result rather than being the end in itself and does ...
