When is Technology Counterproductive?

This is a good question.  Is all Technology helpful?  Do you need a sledgehammer to swat a fly?

I'm troubled that the Technology Task Force (TTF) for the Town of Cary is suffering from a continuing onslaught of technology tools to assist us with our mission.  Each technology offering comes with its own adoption curve due to training and/or paradigm change.  The onslaught is self-inflicted to be sure.

It seems that the TTF has succumbed to the lure of technology tools to creatively tell our story rather than just telling our story.  We now have a hodge-podge of tools we should be using.  Time will tell, but we only have a few more meetings...

What is your experience with technology adoption?
