    issues should be carefully considered. Here are some of them:
    1. Management Issues: Management should consider the organization's goals, strategies,
    and budget. They should also think about the total cost of ownership (TCO), which
    includes the initial cost, maintenance, training, and support. Moreover, management

    processes, workflows, and people.
    2. Organization Issues: Organization issues include the organization's culture, structure,
    and readiness for change. For instance, if the organization is resistant to change,
    management may need to provide more training and support to ensure a smooth
    transition. Additionally, the organization's IT infrastructure, compatibility with existing
    systems, and scalability should be considered.
    3. Technology Issues: Technology issues include the functionality, performance, and
    security of the hardware and software. Management should consider the vendor's
    reputation, track record, and technical support. They should also think about the
    integration with existing systems, data migration, and the potential impact on the
    organization's network and bandwidth.

    important digital device we own. Discuss the implications of this statement.

    productivity.
     Individuals will become more dependent on their smartphones, which could lead to issues
    such as nomophobia, distractions, and work-life balance problems.
     Organizations will need to address issues such as data privacy, security, and compatibility
    with different operating systems and devices.
     Smartphones will become a critical platform for customer engagement, marketing, and
    sales.

    forms of communication, collaboration, and creativity.

    health.
