Abstract: Home computer owners today are more likely to be entrepreneurs than those without computers. This indicates that technology and information technology are inseparable in today's business world. The last two decades have seen a huge increase in the number of home computers. In many different fields, this makes computer owners invariably full of entrepreneurship. With the growth of technology, the Internet and computers, new methods have been developed in processing daily business activities. Routine tasks would have required enormous amounts of time and specialization if not for computers. In the last century, the computer has now represented the leading technological development in relation to business. A vast number of business opportunities have been made available with the advancements in technology. Technology affects virtually every aspect of our lives. Looking around us everywhere, we see how wired we have become. Today, almost everything we need can be delivered to our home within a matter of days. Personal information is also more accessible on the Internet (Draheim, 2010). You can search for everything from a lost child to a registered cleaner in the neighborhood. You can also trade stocks or store faxes online. Parents don't have to lose sleep waiting for their children to come home. They can simply call their cell phones. This is how much technology has changed our lives, including the pace of business (Draheim, 2010). The business world has not been left behind in the technological revolution. A clear key reason for the popularity of computers in most small businesses is their ability to handle multiple tasks with little chance of miscalculation. Computers are pop too... middle of paper... she embraces it or faces extinction. The only way businesses will grow from local to international is by using technology. References Draheim, D. (2010).
