My personal organization was fueled by newer devices with continued enhancements such as increasing the memory (multiple times), size of the screen, color display, desk top software and the like. These advancements kept the Palm Pilot in the class of leading technology. I did update my personal digital assistant with each one of these advanced improvements.
One of the features that came alone was the ability to share information – appointments, tasks, contacts or notes by “beaming” them to another electronic organizer. This was accomplished through the use of infrared technology and moved the Palm Pilot forward into a communication device. Thus, I could send and receive useful information to and from electronic organizers of friends and coworkers. This obviously saved time and was as accurate as the senders’ diligence.
There was also the development of blue tooth technology to communicate between communication devices. This development was my first introduction to “texting”. Because the technology was blue tooth, the communication devices had to be in the same room. I remember sharing relevant and not so relevant information during some meetings and classes I was attending.
My cell phone also moved forward in the world of communication devices with advancements like more memory facilitating speed calling at the touch of a single digit, and smaller devices with longer battery life. The rates of air time were also falling as the cell phone technology became more wide spread and more accepted by the general public. Some of the advances to the cell phone included rudimentary calendars and calculators.
