Overtime, people have gotten destination locations through word of mouth, printing directions from the internet, from following a GPS, to simply telling their phones where they would like to go and successfully getting directions. The IPhone5 is rumored to drop summer 2012 and it has struck an interest with Network Administrator, Robert Bradford, of Ole Miss.
Robert Bradford spends his days in Patterson School of Accountancy maintaining the computers and other technology in the building. Bradford constantly deals with the advances of technology and what the community will do for it.
"Personally I enjoy seeing new Technology" Bradford said. "Advancements in technology are
usually made to make lives better but the people with money only wants to
use it to make more money" Bradford continued.
"When technology is used to help the people that need it, I enjoy it even more. However, I do not understand why people spend so much for some technology and will wait in line for days to be the first to get the IPhone and IPads" Bradford said.
As a network administrator Bradford uses technology daily. He takes courses on new software whenever he can find the time. In Bradfords point of view, he really could not update himself on all the updates that take place daily because their are so many.
" Technology advances daily, making it impossible to keep up with it. Most people and organizations would go bankrupt trying to keep up with technology" Bradford said.
According to a 2011 survey that was conducted by MSNBC , 38 percent of the U.S. uses smartphones, of that, 27 percent uses the IPhone. Bradford, however; has interests in other types of technology such as new software. Marcia Bradford, Robert Bradford's daughter, watches her dad's love for technology on a daily bases.
"I see him working with technology all the time. He is always showing me new gadgets that I have never heard of and showing me how they work" Marcia Bradford said. "Since he shows me how to fix a lot of things, I always try to fix things on my own first. But if I get confused then I call him."
To Robert Bradford's family and friends, he is the go-to guy to fix their technological misfits. It seems that calling on the Bradfords has become a trend.
" I appreciate that he takes the time to show me a lot of things about computers that are very simple but important. Therefore when many of my teachers have a problem with their computers, they call on me to help because I have a basic knowledge of how they work" Marcia Bradford said.
Bradford credits his love for technology to his service for the U.S. Military. Bradford has twenty years of experience with technology.
