             TECHNOLOGY + CULTURE

Technology is changing every aspect of our lives. The benefits provided by new digital approaches are having a huge impact on our societies. However, one of the greatest business challenges is not about the devices, software or solutions – it is about how we manage the process of cultural change.
I have quickly seen for myself how technology is adopted in different ways and how countries are digitally divided by access and availability .Many facets of global communications today we are influenced by cultural differences -- be it email,skype,social media or telephone. The key to communicating successfully is understanding and respecting all our differences to enable a positive impact.

We humans are social animals. Technology can’t replace human interaction. We need to combine the human and digital elements to communicate across our borders.
The cultural divide is also dictated by the different technological possibilities available and what users are allowed to use. In Europe, for example, the Internet is used for connecting business, and the Internet of Things (IOT) is making rapid inroads into a number of industries already.

Technology and culture directly influence each other. As cultures change, so does the technology it innovates. Much of this is for the greater good. It is, for example, a massive aid to global communication. But we must not forget how to talk face-to-face and the impact it can have in crossing the cultural divide.

Let’s take the daily personal view here:

  • Every time a notification pops up on your phone or desktop, that’s technology influencing culture.
  • Every time you’re at a table with your friends and are balancing interacting with them and interacting with your phone, that’s technology influencing culture.
  • Every time you can order something from an online vendor rather than going to a local store, that’s technology influencing culture.
  • Every time you or your kids log on to have some social time with friends rather than going over to their houses, that’s technology influencing culture.
  • Every time a teammate or your entire team is so buried under email that they can’t think straight, that’s technology influencing culture.
  • Every time you go to a new place based on its Yelp profile and reviews, that’s technology influencing culture.
