How Technology Has Pushed Lifestyle Management To The Forefront Of Service Offerings.

It’s easy to forget how “primitive” life was before the 2000s. Just binge an old favorite on Netflix, for example, and you’ll see how many storylines were based on missed connections that would never happen today. Characters lost numbers that would now be stored in their phones, or they made an urgent call only get a home answering machine when today they would simply call the person’s mobile or fire off a text. They remained ignorant (often blissfully so) of world events unless they bought a newspaper or watched the eleven o’clock news, and the workday actually ended when they left the office.
