Giving 'Mom & Pop stores' a fighting chance
Technology. The bliss or bane of the modern world?
Undoubtedly, computers (using a very wide term for lack of a better one) have made our lives easier in a myriad of ways, over the past three decades or so. Conveniences taken for granted today without batting an eyelid weren't possible just a few years ago. Did you know that home video game consoles today are more powerful than the mainframe used to put the first man on the moon 50 years ago? This is surely a good thing right? Absolutely.
On the downside, however, we're having less and less time for ourselves. Ironic, isn't it? The very instruments designed to simplify our daily schedules are doing it so well, that we hardly have the time to stop and smell the roses.
One of the major (and often overlooked) effects is that with the rise of the faceless, corporate industry due to the advent of the computer; small-scale, independent 'Mom and Pop' stores are all but being run out of business. Now that is definitely not a good thing. But it doesn't have to be this way. By embracing the very same technology they too can strike back. Unfortunately, most IT companies out there have a "If it's small, it's not worth it" attitude. We, at IT Bug are different. We care. We remember what it was like walking into the neighbourhood store to buy a can of Coke and a pack of Skittles for a penny, and have the owner ask us how the family was doing. Not quite the same feeling when you go into the local multi-storey mall, is it?
