The world used to be hard. Our days used were filled with unpleasant tasks that we just couldn’t escape or make easier. Notice how we say used to – because it’s no longer true. Technology is not just a thing that makes you MacBook work – it’s changing the way we live our everyday lives.

In the past, getting a taxi used to be about running into the road while vaguely hoping you won’t get hit by a car. Or making an urgent phone call for a cab that shows up two hours later. Home and security was another tedious area in life. Not only would it take the police hours to show up, if they showed up at all, but sometimes a perfectly good night out got ruined because a strong breeze set off your alarm.

That’s where apps like Uber are changing the playing field. Uber allows you to order a cab on your phone and watch as it drives towards you. You enter your credit card details which also means you don’t have to pay with cash. On the home and security front, companies like Cape Security & Alarms allow you to activate and deactivate alarms, control your house’s lighting remotely, and keep track of your surveillance cameras all from your smartphone.

In other words, technology is flipping the blue collar industry on its heads. White-collar guys are coming up with innovative, technologically-driven solutions to tasks that used to be hard and messy. By allowing technology to infiltrate these industries, these everyday tasks are becoming easy and efficient.

Stor Age is at the forefront of this technology revolution.

They allows you to book moves online, offer Free Van Services, as well as Storage Insurance. They also arrive with boxes, padlocks and bubble wrap to ensure all your moving needs are met.
