I felt that it was time to have a printer at the vacation home. I can now output a hard copy that I can edit or fax. Of course, I can also fax directly from the laptop. And let's not forget the basic telephone. There is nothing basic about the phone any longer.
Cellular phones provide easy access from almost anywhere.
New, small phones are beginning to combine PCS, digital, and analog technology, allowing calls from many more locations then before. This makes the television commercial about the woman conducting business on the beach with her children at her side a real possibility. Except I prefer the image of skiing on the mountain while completing the finishing touches on a major transaction. Even more devices and gadgets are available for the technologically advanced, but they are not a requirement in order to be effective. I can be mobile, balance my life with other interests, and still serve my clients, who really don't care where I am as long as I'm available and can respond to any request within two to four hours.
