Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Do you use a smartphone?

Do you find yourself constantly worrying when you don't have your smartphone??

I'm totally hooked, lol.

Music, Gmail, LINE, Dropbox, blog, notepad, schedule management, and photos from the field on my smartphone

It feels like I can't even do my job without my smartphone anymore.

We handle most work-related communications via LINE, and all documents are stored in Dropbox so they can be accessed immediately from anywhere.

Even the company's faxes come through email lol

While the entertainment industry has made huge strides toward going paperless, government offices just aren't making any progress in that area, lol.

At our company, all past project completion documents and photos are preserved as PDFs and backed up using electronic submission software.

That's just the way things are these days.

We live in an era where we view everything on screens, such as those of smartphones.

If you're sending the invoice to us, you can do so by email.

You don't need to go to the trouble of printing it out, buying stamps, and using an envelope.

As long as both parties agree, it's fine to send the invoice by email.

However, it seems that smartphone addiction is becoming quite a problem these days, andWhat We LoseApparently, there are some.

What Do I Lose Because of My Smartphone (Poster)

The fact that posters like this are being released really shows that we’re in a transitional period between the digital and analog eras.

I thought the transition period had long since ended, but,

Even we civil engineers still rely heavily on paper, don't we?

Even government offices that claim to be going paperless still use paper, after all.

On the contrary, I get way too much out of my smartphone.

I suppose it comes down to how well people choose to use both digital and analog technologies.

However, I used to draw the framework diagrams one frame at a time with a ruler, or create development diagrams using a compass and a set square,

I'm so sick of doing this!! lol

I put photos in a photo album and stick labels with the categories written on them next to them using a Tepla label maker, or I draw little diagrams, cut them out, and paste them into the album.

Drawing control charts with a ruler, calculating plans by hand...

I'm so sick of this already!!!!!!

The speed of CDA, the capabilities of Excel, and the groundbreaking speed of electronic filing software.

Once you try this, you’ll never go back to the old way. I think the time it takes to prepare documents is now less than half of what it used to be.

Those of us in our 40s experienced the transition from word processors to personal computers in terms of hardware.

I suppose we're currently in the midst of a full-scale software-driven transition from analog to digital.

Even though we’re dependent on our smartphones, we ultimately live through our interactions with others, so people are what matter most.

I want to make a point of valuing my relationships with others.

 

See you later.
