BUS600 Management Communications with Technology Tools

            Technology within the workplace has steadily evolved since it was introduced.  Today, many mediums of communication can be found around the office, both traditional and contemporary.  Early technologies such as telephones, typewriters, facsimile (fax) machines, and photocopiers as well as newer technologies such as desktop computers and e-mail still play an integral part within the workplace in terms of facilitating business and management communication.However,modern technologies such as smart phones, tablets, instant messaging, and laptop computers have become increasingly important as many firms no longer operate in a traditional office setting(Ferri-Reed, 2014).  Instead, executives and employees within these firms work on the go – from the office, from home, from 30,000 feet, from the local coffee shop, from a client’s office, and from around the world (Ferri-Reed, 2014).  Evolving workplace technologies have made this kind of mobility possible and will certainly continue to evolve as new and improved technologies gain market share and existing technologies become obsolete.
