10 Ways Hi-Tech will Affect Your Career.
by Kamau Austin

Many of us whether we work in the tech biz or not feel that hi-tech has begun to permeate our lives. In an information economy our careers are impacted constantly by newer and newer technologies making it hard for us to keep pace with it all. Nevertheless, we must constantly struggle to keep up with tech developments or risk becoming an extinct dinosaur in the labor market. Whether you work for Microsoft, or Pathmark, new technologies are entering into the marketplace at a faster and faster pace.

If you work for Pathmark (a US Supermarket chain), you will be exposed to smarter cash registers integrated with databases, Internet promotions, and digital payment systems. If you work for Microsoft, you are getting ready for the deployment of Windows XP and the .Net initiative. No matter your vocation you will be impacted by hi-tech developments. This of course is the reality despite the fact that hi-tech has lost its investment luster for right now.
