Automated phone technology, such as interactive voice response (IVR) menus, can save businesses time and money on customer support. These solutions route callers to the right people without the help of a human operator. Larger businesses should consider IVR menus to streamline the customer support experience.

My daughter encouraged me to get a coupon savings app for a retail store, one that has a Starbucks nestled inside. I loaded my store debit card into the app, so I could leave my wallet behind when I shop. At Starbucks within the retail store, I ordered one of the last Venti cups of Pumpkin Spice latte of the season. The Barista, eying my fingers swiping for the retail store debit card in the app, saved me some money, “I see you’re using the Cartwheel app.

It’s the end of a course, and it suddenly strikes you that you need the students to take a quiz the very next day. What would you do? Imagine sitting down with your laptop, trying to write the perfect quiz questions. It’d take you hours, and you might even find it difficult to think of the perfect quiz questions.

We’ve seen signs of this, for instance, in shops like Amazon Go where tech is everywhere and yet at the same time (almost) nowhere to be seen.
