Every time there is a new smart phone put on the market, millions of people flock to the release in hopes of getting their hands on one on that opening day. However, what if technology changed and the smart phones of the past moved forward to what Google is now testing called Project Glass? What if we can explore and share everything about our world and everyday lives without pressing buttons? Google’s Project Glass is taking technology out of your hands and is instead putting it right in your face. Well, not literally in your face, but right in your view. Here is what it looks like: Now, while this could…

Technology is amazing and we all know it. What we may forget or even take for granted is that there was a time around thirty years ago when we needed dozens of different devices to do the things that we do with our current smartphones. As they put it at Gather, “The smartphone that’s currently sitting in your pocket right now is hundreds of times more powerful than the massive computer components that once filled entire rooms.” Now we have to wonder what will fit in our pockets thirty years from today….

Most advances in technology are synonymous with increased costs and unclear effects on liability exposure.  However, that is not necessarily the case when it comes to home phone service.  Many of you may be paying for a traditional landline phone service that is actually costing you a lot more than the more cutting-edge option:  VoIP digital phone service. Voice-Over Internet Protocol, or “VoIP” phone service, is exactly what it sounds like:  using your internet to make phone calls.  For the most basic VoIP service, you will pay under ten dollars every month!  This super-low rate…

The technology is in place. Now it’s time to get it out to the people of the world. As personal technology rises into the billions, the once-impossible dream of connecting the entire world through gadgets and gizmos, Apple and Google, is now something that can be achieved. All it takes is infrastructure, funding, and an attitude of cooperation between the various countries of the world. This graphic depicts the future and the past of personal technology.

With Earth Day having just passed, I’ve been looking for new ways to use sustainable energy and be a better inhabitant of the planet. I’d like to consider myself to be a pretty environmentally conscious individual – I recycle, I eat organically whenever possible, and I carpool. But I wanted to do something bigger and better. So when I was listening to the radio and heard about a new energy efficient LED light bulb that’s supposed to last 20 years, I was intrigued. All of that for the low, manageable cost of…sixty dollars?! The new LED light bulb from Philips can fit as a replacement to traditional…

Many of the problems that face the world currently have been solved through technology. Food can be grown, raised, processed, packaged, and shipped in efficient ways. Medicine has extended life and cured most diseases that once killed the masses. We can communicate with people anywhere in the world, travel to nearly any place in the world, and we have the ability to protect the people from most forms of natural challenges. The only problem we can’t really address is the sheer bulk. There’s simply too many people with too many needs to handle all of the problems. The technology is there. We just can’t…

We often look back at the great minds of the past in wonder as their predictions of what the future would look like. Sometimes, they are relatively accurate. Other times, they’re way off. In an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 1974, Clarke nailed it. He said that we would all have computers, not like the ones that surround him in the video but much smaller ones.  As he describes them, he motions with his hands an approximate size and shape and one can imagine a laptop resting in his hands as they were perfectly positioned. He said we would be able to talk to people around the…

Most of the gender boundaries in America have been broken down in recent decades as women are now doing more things that used to be male-dominated while men are doing more things that were once female-dominated. The technology world is one arena where there is still a disproportionately lower number of women. It’s changing, but there’s still a ways to go. This graphic shows some interesting facts about women in tech. Click to enlarge. Like this infographic? Get more business technology news from IT Manager Daily….

Startups are a big part of President Obama’s economic plan, with more than $48 billion in tax breaks earmarked for small companies creating jobs, annually. The initiative was bolstered by a recent report from the Kaufman Foundation stating that fast-growth companies, while making up less than 1% of US employers, are responsible for up to 10% of national hires in a given year. …

Some say the tech industry is entering a golden age where development of new products and services are yielding a rise in the number of startups that are hitting the streets and finding success. We’ve seen in recent months a shift in the economy that is translating in Silicon Valley, Silicon Alley, and beyond into more money being spent. Founders of tech companies need to know the “buzzwords” if they want to ride the wave. Thankfully, our friends at Udemy have put together this nice graphic that details the various terms that are at the heart of entrepreneurial success. Click to enlarge. …
