Camera in Phones
This is probably the greatest feature ever added to a mobile phone. Many people are using
their phone to take photos and email them to their friends and family.

Many Companies Don’t Use Mobile Technology
Gartner predicts that half of all companies will require employees to buy
their own smartphones by 2017 and use them to access any app they feel
is needed for their job.
Gartner – May 1, 2013
Many businesses simply don’t know how to integrate mobile technology
with their desktop solutions, across their enterprise and out to their
employees.

Use of Technology in Construction
While engineering and construction fields unquestionably boast some of
the most industrious, innovative, and creative professionals, there is a
lack of technological innovation in construction methods.
Construction Technology Report – 2014
It is clear that tools and more specific, technology in the construction
industry are changing dramatically. Broadband mobile communication and
handheld processing power are radically altering the way construction
projects are being delivered, now information can be accessed, managed
and acted upon in real time, from the Back Office, Front Office, Field
Office and Jobsite.

Paper is a Thing of the Past
Truly paperless project sites where drawings, change orders, claims, and
dispute “paperwork” are transmitted from Back Office to Jobsite, and
Jobsite to Back Office, including owner integrated applications, is
happening today.
Technology adoption in the field is inarguably altering the expectations of
services that contractors provide to owners. The sheer efficiency with
which information can be shared and processed demands that
businesses change.

My vote for the most important feature of today' advanced technology
would still be the "off" button!

US Smartphone Usage
As of May 2013, 56 percent of American adults had a smartphone, and
most of them used it to access the Internet. One-third of smartphone
users report that their phone is the primary way they go online.
Just as the Internet changed retailing in the late 1990s, many argue that
the transition to mobile, sometimes referred to as “Web 3.0,” will have a
similarly disruptive effect (Brynjolfsson et al. 2013).
