Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A smart phone would allow Jameson to access all of his contact information, appointment times, and e-mails and voicemails from clients while in transit, without the need for a separate device or paperwork. He can also use it to book flights and rental cars, eliminating the need for a Rolodex or atlas. A laptop could also be helpful, but may not be as convenient for travel due to its size and need for a stable surface to work on. An assistant might be helpful, but may not be as cost-effective or practical for Jameson's needs.
