We live in an amazing time. There is a plethora of things available today that were not even conceptions ten years ago.

Not long ago if you were looking to get your Green Card or to study to take the US citizenship exam or to get your green card you often times had to travel to Miami or some other large town that had a division of the federal government that dealt with renewing green cards. You could also write a letter and wait for the information to be processed there and then to have that information sent to you so that you could fill it out and return it. This could literally add weeks to months to the process and you often ran the risk of deportation before it occurred.
Today this information can be obtained and downloaded via the small electronic devices that everyone had on them on a daily basis. And you can get the recipe for tonight’s meal or the forms needed to obtain a green card or study materials and sample questions for the US citizenship exam or information on how to renew your green card all sent to you almost instantly via your palm, smart phone or laptop. No more traveling, no more having to be tied to a stationary desktop computer and no more need to wonder if the request had even be received. Things happen so fast that you can speed up your entire life by many percentage point be simply using the small electronics the way that they were intended to be used.
It is not going to take all of the stress out of finding the right thing to make for supper. It is not even going to come close to solving the problems of answering the questions on the US citizenship exam or getting your initial green card or taking the time to renew a green card. What it will do is cut the time that you have to wait for that to happen which will alleviate a ton of the stress which will then in turn make it seem like it was a lot less painful and intense than it actually was.
