Technology Expert Must be Constantly Connected to the Web

Rebecca Nacht's iPhone and iPad are the main devices she uses daily for social media, texting, games, YouTube and web surfing. Rebecca wishes she could upgrade to the next level every time a new update comes out, but admits she’s not in a hurry to pay for it.


Rebecca is first in line when the latest gadget or upgrade is released

Rebecca enjoys having the most updated technology at her fingertips. Currently she owns an iPhone 5, iPad, Macbook and PC laptop and that’s not counting the devices she uses at work! Working at an IT company and constantly advising customers to invest in the latest technology definitely makes it easier for her to keep up to date on the newest trends. However, as Rebecca explains, it also feeds into her hunger to keep ahead of the curve and invest in the latest technology for herself. 
One of the perks of being “plugged in” with the latest gadget is that you never miss a beat. A perk that Rebecca treasures immensely. Whether it’s an update on her friend’s baby, celebrity gossip, or world news, Rebecca loves that her trusty digital devices allow her to “hear it first.” She also likes in turn, being able to update her followers and friends on her latest nail designs. And Rebecca is not the only one with the yen to be constantly updated on the latest buzz. People have become so addicted to checking their phones, that an game was invented to squelch phone usage by your friends during dinner outings. Rebecca agrees that society has gotten to the point where people can’t live without knowing what’s going 24/7.

Easy access to information could cause researching skills to downturn

Another advantage to technology Rebecca enjoys is the ability to access information with just a click of a button. Rebecca and her sister kid each other when one poses a question to the other because to them, there is no need to ask. As they jokingly put it, they each have a “little google machine” at their disposal that can supply them with endless information. Although that is a positive aspect to technology, Rebecca also recognizes that our ability to receive knowledge instantly without much effort may have some negative effects for future generations.


Weighing the positives and negatives, Rebecca is determined to remain plugged in and looks forward to the technology advances of the future.
