Tool man ***new***

John is living in the 'dark age' by not using IT technology... however his business can be boosted by the use of technological 'gadgets'.
firstly instead of John travelling all the time he may well set up a website to sell his tools.. then this can broaden his client range and everyone can see his stock... this means he doesnt have to be on the road everyday because he can control it from his own home. Also when travelling he may need a laptop which can be plugged into the elctrical supply in his vehicle and he could replace all of the A-Z's with satelite navigational system (sat nav)which will be more accurate and less time consuming. with using laptop he can keep his stock levels and admnistration up to date as he goes then he will not have to use more time on a friday. also with this he can show clients again on his own website the merchandise he has instead of the catalogue.. also his mobile phone and laptop will have a calculator on them which replaces the calculator.
these are the ways his business will be boosted by technology.
however he will need maybe a usb memory stick to keep things.. details and such on them because if he gets a problem with his laptop he will need a back up... this means he may still have to carry around his catalogue etc.. but it minimises space in the car therefore he will be saving money on petrol because of the excess weight out of the vehicle...
