It’s no revelation that technology has changed how we interact with brands: I can get prescriptions immediately delivered to my office, custom-built furniture sent to my home, and order-in dinner from my daughters’ favorite restaurant — all with a few taps on my phone.

With seemingly hundreds of new brands entering the market each week,…

There’s no doubt technology has streamlined how businesses interact with customers, leading to reduced labor costs and increased efficiency across the board. Unfortunately, implementing technology can be a double-edged sword.

Fortunately, that's not supported by the evidence, and if you don’t believe me just ask Jennifer Aniston, who just joined Instagram for the first time and has already…
