TRIED AND TESTED v TECHNOLOGY

We know that technology is moving faster than ever before and in this article we'll look at the traditional personal time management methods and the many advantages they have over their more complicated counterparts.

Portability

Our personal organisers, diaries and address books can all be bought in a range of sizes that make them ideal for carrying around. If you were on a night out for example, would you rather have a compact pocket diary in your bag or carry around a laptop or PDA and worry about whether or not you were going to still have it at the end of the night.

Usability

So much of our lives are spent looking at screens, whether at a PC at work or at home watching T.V. it's a nice feeling to read something on paper now and again. Despite the growing influence of the internet, books are as popular as ever and the vast majority of people prefer to read print than a computer screen. The same can be said when it comes to diaries, address books and personal organisers, once you've written your entry, it's easy to read as it's in your own handwriting and you don't have to worry about whether you've saved it or not.

Reliability

We've all sat at work or home and cursed the reliability of our PC, laptop, mobile phone or other device. Why does it take so long to boot up? I can never find what I'm looking for on the hard drive, why does the battery need charged so often on this thing?

Paper based products have none of these reliability issues. You'll never need to reboot your address book, virus scan your diary or charge up your personal organiser. A quality Collins product is both reliable and functional.

Affordability

Technology comes at a price, and that price can be measured in the areas above as well as hard cash. Our products are great value for money and when combined with the reasons we've already looked at, it's easy to see why our ranges remain so popular.
