A quick show of hands, has anyone been to the postoffice in the last couple of days to deliver a letter? How about standing under the scorching Malaysian sun to hail a cab?

No? We didn’t think so. Technology has advanced at such a rate that we can now perform most tasks in a matter of minutes without even needing to get out of our chair.

Here are 5 areas of our lives that has been made so much easier with modern technology:

File storing and sharing

Throw out those ring binders, they are old tech that you no longer need. These days, you can store documents, pictures, music, and video in the cloud, which you can retrieve whenever you want from any device.

While you’re at it, throw out your postman (not literrally, of course) because you can also share files you store in the cloud with people instantly.

Ride hailing

Gone are the days when you have to look for a cab. These days, there are apps that allow you to secure a ride from anywhere to almost everywhere.

Plus, you won’t see signages asking you to prepare exact change because payment is cashless. We’re so happy our pants no longer jinggle from all the loose change we had to carry around.

Meeting people

We’re not just talking about video calling someone. Meeting people—either people you are already friends with or people you are thinking of meeting for the first time—can now be done from your phone.

For the awkward and shy, meeting someone through an app ensures you already know a little about the other person.

Shopping

With more and more businesses and brands offering a digital store, you can get everything from clothes to groceries to furniture online. Malls are mostly for us to enjoy free air-conditioning now.

Buying prepaid top up, gaming credits & discounted vouchers
