The

Outlook

calendar

is

really

a

good

program

to

use

anywhere

especially

if

you

travel

often

like

I

did

when

I

served

in

the

Air

Force.

The

main

issue

with

using

Outlook

calendar

is

that

you

need

to

have

a

connected

or

wireless

network

to

access

the

calendar

on

the

web.

I

often

traveled

throughout

the

US

and

had

no

issues

accessing

my

calendar

via

the

web.

It

helped

that

I

could

access

my

calendar

anytime

to

keep

up

with

office

meetings,

appointments,

or

projects

that

were

due

and

review

my

daily

and

weekly

tasks.

Also,

I

like

that

my

boss

could

add

meetings

to

my

calendar

without

sending

me

e

mails.

The

process

to

set

up

your

calendar

is

based

on

what

version

of

Office

you

have

along

with

an

internet

connection.

I

have

an

Office

365

account

so

I

access

via

the

Microsoft

365

sign

–

in

page

with

my

email

and

password

to

see

my

calendar

or

you

c

an

access

Outlook.com.

You

can

also

access

Outlook

on

your

phone

by

downloading

the

app

from

your

phone’s

app

store

.

From

my

personal

experience,

I

consider

technology

is

a

good

thing

to

have

as

long

as

it

is

used

in

moderation

and

not

dependent

on.

I

do

not

carry

my

tablet

or

phone

with

me

everywhere

I

go.

There

are

times

where

I

see

that

society

is

consumed

with

technology

as

I

walk

into

Starbucks,

and

everyone

has

their

head

down

looking

at

their

computers

or

phones

sitting

at

the

same

table

and

no

co

nversation

held

at

all.

I

attribute

my

thinking

to

being

raised

as

a

child

in

the

1980s.

I

cannot

blame

the

new

generation

since

they

are

growing

up

with

technology

and

that

is

all

they

know

and

would

not

about

the

basics

of

life

unless

they

learned

it

f

rom

an

older

generation

or

from

history

books.

My

final

thought

is

that

technology

will

evolve

more

but

we

must

guard

against

cyber

–

attacks

and

Malware

in

technology.

It

is

our

responsibility

as

individuals

to

not

let

technology

consume

us.

Calendars

are

wonderful

tools

to

help

organize

and

manage

our

daily

lives

if

used

in

moderation.

The

ability

to

have

a

or

The Outlook calendar is really a good program to use anywhere especially if you

travel often like I did when I served in the Air Force. The main issue with using

Outlook calendar is that you need to have a connected or wireless network to

The process to set up your calendar is based on what version of Office you have
