Thanks to the Internet, placing orders to vendors is a lot less time consuming. That goes hand in hand with checking on orders, or correcting problems with orders.\n Communicating with the home office ( in the case of chain stores) is a lot easier too. \n Updated equipment helps also. Monitors throughout the store helps all team members in an establishment know what is going on with each customer.\n Modern  technology in the food industry means safer food storage, less costly mistakes ( which means less expenses to pass on to the customer), and quicker service. \n The food industry seems to always benefit from modern technology.

I personally believe it's because of the change in the way our food is processed and packaged.  20 years ago vegetables were grown in the garden and not picked up from the grocery store where they've been washed with who knows what kind of solution and meat wasn't injected with hormones and preservatives like it is today.  Plus I'm sure evolution had a little bit to do with it.

House delivery of catered foods.\n\nDon't just deliver or make it there. Provide for fresh lunches cocktail stuff like 'sandwiches' or modern varieties of them. \n\nFresh apple pie with cinnamon ice-cream homemade of course.\n\nHome-cooked meals ready to be reheated in a microwave. Day fresh of course. Make it special not just mashed potatoes, gravy and backed ham. Make people have fixed dates like every fridaynight, or even every day, and give them at least 3 months in advance a menu so they can look forward to it.\n\nStart small, think big. Word to mouth must be your advertising though presentation that radiates high quality is a must. Make sure you emphasize you are local talent.. something like 'the aunt next door that can really cook'.

The biotechnology revolution has brought about an unprecedented convergence of biology and technology. In fact, the line between the two fields is increasingly hard to define.  Applied biology, chemical technology and food technology are some examples of fields where knowledge from biology is used to make our life easier, safer and enjoyable.

Technology usually changes everything despite its adherents or critics.  You can bring up the technology of agriculture.  Its really hard, back-breaking work enabled the advent of the city-state.  Hunter-gatherer societies couldn't compete with the more hegemonistic power of a society with agriculture.  Despite its disadvantage for the individual (arduous work) it profited the cultures that used it and is now the only game in town.

Information technology is a new addition. I find it best. Between marketing and finance you get payed higher in finance but there are far more jobs in marketing.

What about something related to how blogs have changed online communication and social groups?

Our technology and communications is changing at a rapid rate.\n\nThink about the fact that when I was 3 years old, we had a black and white TV, a rotary dial telephone, a washing machine, an oven and a refrigerator.  We had a car and a truck.  I grew up on a farm.\n\nMy grandparents did not have TV, they had radio.  They had no cars.  \n\nMy first grade teacher graduated college - called normal school - in 1919.  Her father made saddles for a living.  When she started teaching, there were only a few cars on the road.\n\nOur society is changing because we are changing.  How many people do you know who make their living on a farm?\n\nIn 1996 how many people had personal computers?  How many people do not have them now?  Ten years ago, a computer was not a necessity in a home.  We haven't even touched on TV, satellites, and all of the choices available in how we use them.
