How can i use Technology?

Posted on by MJ

[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” header_font=”Cherry Cream Soda||||” text_font=”Cantata One||||” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_font_size=”28px” text_font_size=”15″]

Ask Mary Job right now..

Hmmm, great question. Ever wondered out loud ‘how can i use technology? Let us see some areas in which technology is used?

  • Use of technology in business

I would rather pay with POS than pay with cash, if i had my way, i would pay for bottle water of 50naira, that is about 10cents, with a POS machine..Hahahaha.

  • The Use of technology in agriculture

The last and first time i reared chickens, i got all my tips online than from the VET doctor who was hardly ever available and kept promising to send someone over to come vaccinate my birds, but never showed. I want to clear a farmland soon, and i am surely using a tractor.

  • Use of technology in banking

Let us just say i use this 1000%

  • Use of technology to control and harness natural forces

My smartphone alerts me when Rain is coming, or when the Sun temperature is unhealthy on my skin, so yea i use technology here too.

  • Use of technology in transportation

Who else buys flight tickets online? bus tickets? etc.

Tell me, how do you use technology? Or in what area of your life do you need to use technology but do not know how? Am listening…
