As you read this post, keep in mind there is no “perfect” solution. All options – be it an in-house network or a cloud solution – have both upsides and downsides. Your selection has to be determined on a case-by-case scenario before you can come to a complete conclusion on which option will work best for you.

Long ago, (well early 1980’s) the inter-department memo consisted of a paper memo which was moved around the company with check boxes to ensure receipt. Thank goodness, email and distribution lists seriously advanced communication practices, however, data was still a challenge.

Big U.S. tech providers are changing their policies to provide customers with alerts when their records have been subpoenaed by the U.S. government, according to the Washington Post.

Our lives may seem like they revolve around our mobile devices, and if we're being honest they really do. But isn't that the way it has always been? 20 years ago it was the pager, and then the cell phone, now the smart phone. Lets face it we are hopelessly in love with technology, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Ah yes the educational movie during class, there truly was no better feeling than walking into a classroom and seeing one of these sitting there. Just knowing that for the next 45 minutes you could sit and relax would instantly brighten your day. Who knows, maybe one day during a staff meeting the boss will roll in one of these and you will be able to experience that feeling once more.

As we see 2013 moving further and further away in the rear view mirror, I wanted to reflect on one of the most significant technology advances in 25 years that occurred full swing last year.
