Technology is taking the place of tables and chairs as a necessity for a conference these days. Getting ready for a large meeting often involves setting up a large assortment of technological devices. Large corporations and organizations with offices across the country and even abroad are using telephone conferencing and web conferencing to meet with staff in other branches. These new tools make it easy to interface with other branches or departments across the county and sometimes around the world without even leaving the comfort of one’s office. It’s convenient, cheap and easy. Executives or business or organization leaders can communicate with large groups by using audio conferencing devices, and web conferencing. They often meet with audiences who can see presentations, take tours, vote in surveys, and they can all remain in their own offices, at their own computer screens for the entire conference. Big companies, small companies, government offices, nonprofits, churches, and more, all are getting into the teleconferencing bandwagon. They are saving money at the same time. Your employees, members or whatever, don’t have to drive somewhere, or worse, take a plane. Plane travel is unpopular with businessmen at this time. It has become an extreme hassle, schedules are unreliable and long waits in the airport are increasing. Add this to the worry about terrorist or nutcase attacks, even first class seats are not exempt from the worry, wear and tear. Teleconferencing bypasses all these headaches and keeps workers fresh, happy and secure at their desks.

The technology involved in setting up a conference varies with the size and complexity of the users’ need. For a not too complicated conference involving smaller numbers of participants some companies have developed and are selling devices which can be operated by personnel right in the home office. There is a learning curve with these, but it is possible for office personnel to learn to operate them. Newer in the technology field are companies who have stepped forward with plans to make conferencing much easier. Some conference call service operators provide customers with a call monitoring center in their own office, a service which makes setting up large, complicated conferences simple for their clients.

Combination of telephone conferencing with web service - web conferencing - is also being offered to companies. A quantum improvement in conferencing, web conferencing allows the use of slides, interactive technical support and web tours that a corporation can use in its presentations. Conference attendees can provide feedback, answer questing and even take polls, interactivity that provides the conference host with instant feedback. Teleconferencing with the help of professional conference service providers smoothes the way for users with many other amenities that make their life easier. There are important amenities, such as interpreters who will translate the proceedings into the language of the participant, a huge help in conferences that include countries like India, China and many European countries. Some conferencing services also provide recordings of the proceedings; some even provide transcribers who will type up the proceedings and distribute a hard copy to the participants. These services are expensive, but when compared to the cost of physical conferencing with travel and lost time they are very competitive. The costs do vary according to how much service is required. “Virtual” conferencing can be cost effective for large companies and groups and is becoming accepted as a viable alternative to hassles of travel and the work of making arrangements in physical locations.

Well, you thought your responsibility ended by enrolling your teenager in a driving school. But that isn’t so. Parents are supposed to assist their offspring to become matured, responsible and develop the proper attitude which will help him/her not only become a cautious driver but also lead a successful and prosperous life. When every other animal species in nature do it, why shouldn’t we?

If you took time off from your busy schedule and fulfilled the serious duty of being a friend of your teenager, he/she would have been far more matured and responsible by now. There wouldn’t have been any need for any electronic teen driver monitor whatsoever.

Teenagers must be given space and independence to work out their own social paradigms and associated dynamics. This is the only way they can mature and lead a meaningful life. We would as parents be doing a great harm if we stifle this maturing process with these electronic gizmos which are euphemistically termed teen tracking devices.

But nervous parents are always anxious for their teens. For them, the teenagers are not really in their teens – they are oversized toddlers! These toddlers need to be constantly supervised and pulled back whenever their parents think so. These overprotective parents have a ready comrade in companies that manufacture GPS tracking devices in their struggle to monitor every step their teenage sons and daughters take.

The marketers are there waiting with a range of gps teen tracking devices which they claim would like a magic wand forewarn parents of any trouble the youngsters are about to fall in.

But what is a gps tracking device? It is an electronic gadget based on satellite tracking which helps you to locate where your teen is and in some costlier models you can also find out the speed at which he/she is driving. What benefit would you gain from that information? Obviously as a worried parent you will retort that your teenager will always be under supervision and parental control and what better can it be than that.

This is where things tend to turn sour! You are not willing to accept that your teenager has matured enough to handle things on his own and it might be hazardous to let him be behind the wheel on his own. If you feel so, don’t let him/her drive on his/her own, as simple as that. Why invite a tension and try to find ways to reduce it? That’s pretty ridiculous, isn’t it?

Don’t do such a ludicrous thing. Like a matured adult have patience and let the teenagers learn it the hard way. That’ll be growing up in the true sense.
