Digital Life in Columbus, GA

There are many digital aspects of Columbus. There are signs with computerized messages and computers almost everywhere you go. Most buisnesses have social networking sites through Facebook and Yelp. The Police cars also have digital scanners. -Rachel

There are also self checkout lines in majority of the Walmarts, The Home Depot, and the commissary on Fort Benning. You can also go to CVS, Walmart, and Walgreens and do instant printing on pictures. -Qwaonna

Digital Life in Columbus has excelled especially with the recent popularity of certain apps like Instagram, Four Square, Twitter, and Facebook. All of these apps and sites have features that allow you to 'check in' to places that you go. Seeing as though Columbus is sort of the 'hot spot' for surrounding counties and cities, Columbus has definitely appeared more on the map so to speak with the rising of digital life dealing specifically with smart phones. - Heather

I have noticed a drastic change in the Digital Life in Columbus in the last 10 years. Businesses aren't using bulky outdated computers or cash registers, they are instead using iPads as a way to make payments to purchase items or food. I have seen this in Chicken Salad Chick and Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt. I have also noticed a difference in my student teaching school Eagle Ridge. They use touchscreen computers to check out children at lunch in the cafeteria. No more bar code cards to swipe. It amazes me to see how far technology has progressed so far and how much it will. -Caitlin

Businesses are now more efficient and faster. -Hartley
