Summary: Welcome back to Episode #17 of The Daily Interaction podcast. Today's topic is how to interact effectively and smartly with technology, something that is oh so near and dear to my heart and such a strong force in our world today. We will talk about the generation gap, the changes and advances in technology and how to balance your life without writing off the enormous benefits that technology can add to that life.
