New or Old CBO what should we be
looking at in Technology?
• If we were to turn the clock back 20 years and
predict what sorts of technology business
people would be using in the future, the
Internet and cell phones would have ranked
high on the list.
New or Old CBO what should we be
looking at in Technology?
• A similar exercise today is harder to do, given
the exponential pace at which technology is
advancing. So what should we be expecting
or planning for?
• Lets look at short term
New or Old as the CBO you should know:
• Evaluating your Network
• What does BYOD mean?
• Tablets toys or business tools
• The cloud and the future
• What’s in it for me?
Evaluating your network
• The future for technology is not the computer,
tablet or smart phone but rather the network.
• We should be building robust networks for the
future.
• How do you evaluate your network?

term “throughput” refers to the amount of video, music,
Internet traffic, or gaming data that can pass through your
wireless network under real-world conditions.
• Wi-Fi Standard / Data Transfer Rate / Throughput Rate.

BYOD What does it really mean?
• BYOD and District-issued smart devices are no longer simple textbased email readers. Rather, they are high-resolution, video-capable
devices that are purely wireless and mobile.
BYOD
• Applications being run on smart devices are robust, real-time, and
mission critical. Recent studies indicate that almost 66 percent of the
world’s mobile data traffic will be video by 2014. Demanding
applications combined with rapid growth can quickly overwhelm
existing wireless local area network (WLAN) architectures, significantly
affecting users’ experiences and productivity.

What is Cloud Computing
• The practice of using a network of remote
servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage,
and process data, rather than a local server or a
personal computer.

Advantages Of Cloud Computing
•
•
•
•
•
•
Reduced Cost
Cloud technology is paid incrementally, saving organizations money.
Increased Storage
Organizations can store more data than on private computer systems.
Highly Automated
No longer do IT personnel need to worry about keeping software up to date.
Flexibility
Cloud computing offers much more flexibility than past computing methods.
More Mobility
Employees can access information wherever they are, rather than having to
remain at their desks.
Allows IT to Shift Focus
No longer having to worry about constant server updates and other
computing issues, government organizations will be free to concentrate on
innovation.
Disadvantages of Cloud Computing
• Need access to the internet
• Need appropriate bandwidth and speed
• Reliability
• Lack of control
• Locked into apps

Portable Power
• Most technology is subject to Moore’s Law, which says things gets
better and cheaper the longer we go. As any smart phone user knows,
batteries have somehow resisted this trend.
• Despite the increasingly complex and amazing things phones can do –
or actually, because of them – battery life is either not keeping pace or
getting shorter. Until a breakthrough is made, we’ll have to improvise.
• A good solution in the meantime is portable power in the form of
separate charging devices.
Wireless Power
• Protective cases that double as charging skins are making this possible
for exisiting technology (such as those from Hyperion and Myedour)
• So far, most such wireless power devices – including Duracell’s popular
PowerMat, which charges a number of gizmos at once – have used
magnetic induction, which requires physical contact.
• On the horizon, however, is magnetic resonance technology, which
allows charging from a few feet away.
• That means phones and other devices are finally set to lose their last
remaining tethers – the cord.
Near Field Communications
• Speaking of wireless technologies, near-field communications (NFC)
has been that young, up-and-coming rookie who hasn’t yet fulfilled his
potential for several years now.
• NFC has been touted as the key to mobile payments – or mcommerce – since it allows the secure transfer of data through the
simple tapping together of two enabled devices.
• The holdup, according to m-commerce experts, has been in deciding
how to slice up transaction fees.
The traditional partners in the system, from credit card networks, to
issuing banks, to merchants, have resisted giving up cuts to the
newcomers, which include software and handset makers and even
wireless providers. But some of those new players, notably Google,
don’t really care about getting financial remuneration every time the
user makes a purchase – they’re more interested in the data he or
she is generating.
BYOD Connections
• BYOD connections are growing everywhere:
– Doctors office
– Starbucks
– MacDonalds
– Workshops
– Schools
• With the growth of smartphones we are offering connections for smart
devices everywhere.
• The trend makes a lot of sense, since smartphones are very personal
gadgets – it’s not called an “i” phone for nothing – and workers don’t want
to have to lug two of them around. Work phones and personal phones
are thus destined to merge, which presents something of a problem for
corporate information technology departments.
How does a business department let workers use their own devices, yet
still keep them secure?
Wearable Computers
• Google Glass, Wrist Phones, etc….
• In demos, Google’s glasses have enabled wearers to take pictures and
videos, have video conferences with each other, map directions and
navigate, and otherwise perform many smartphone functions.
Yet, all of this will happen on a screen that is effectively worn in front of
your eyes.
• Apple, Samsung and others are also reportedly working on “smart”
watches, which will similarly bring many smartphone functions to a wristworn device.
• It may sound goofy or science-fictiony right now, but application
developers will inevitably think up ways to use these new devices in
ways that will probably make them indispensable.
3-D Printers
• Technology analysis firm Gartner might have put three-dimensional
printing at the very top of its annual hype cycle last year, but that’s not
necessarily a knock on the field.
• The popular notion about 3-D printing right now is that it’s mainly being
used by hobbyists to create simple toys and knick-knacks, but according
to a recent report, this sort of “additive manufacturing” accounts for
between 20 and 25 per cent of the industrial parts being made today,
which puts the technology well on its way to wide-scale acceptance.
Handheld Projectors
• So you’ve got a PowerPoint presentation to make?
– There are a few options for showing it, with the most common – and most old-school –
involving the lugging of your laptop to the conference room, where it’s hooked up to a
projector.
– Some smartphones can do this now, although the big projector is still necessary.
– Enter pico projectors: tiny devices that are even smaller than the smartphone itself.
They’re not as good or bright as their bigger cousins, but they’re also completely
portable and getting better all the time, so much so that phone makers are starting to
incorporate them into their devices themselves. Samsung tried it last year with the
Galaxy Beam, but the phone didn’t do very well because of its otherwise
underwhelming features.
– Packing pico projectors into smartphones is still a little on the expensive side, but with
the cost of the technology coming down, they will inevitably be finding their way into
more and more devices.
Personal Assistants
• Computers are getting pretty good at predicting things about us, provided
we give them enough information to work with.
• Web browsers watch our browsing and suggest the next thing for us.
• Siri and others work by starting them up and asking for help.
• That’s changing, though, with machines starting to understand context
better. Google Now, a feature in Android phones launched last year, is a
good example. If you input an appointment into your calendar, for
example, Google Now will map out directions to it and scan traffic leading
up to it, then alert you as to when it thinks you should leave.
• Secretaries and real-life assistants should beware – their jobs are
endangered.
Robo Cars
• So far, the champion of the cause has been Google, which sees robot
cars as a project that simply needs to happen. Theoretically, the
company could connect such vehicles to its navigation systems and
watch the ad revenue from participating businesses roll in.
• But traditional car companies have joined in, too, with both Lexus and
Audi legitimizing the field this year with announcements at the
Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
• The race – pardon the pun – to develop more autonomous vehicles is
on, with developments slowly leaking into commercialization along the
way. Many of the newest models already have lane and distance
sensors, as well as cameras in the back to detect oncoming hazards.
Autonomous driving is likely to first happen on highways, thereby freeing
drivers to do more productive things.
• It won’t happen tomorrow, but with the competition joined, it’s likely to
arrive sooner than anyone expects.
What’s in it for me?
• How many take notes?
• How many use paper pads or note books?
• How many use tablets?
• How do you organize your notes?
• How do you find topics you have taken notes for?
A Deeper look at Evernote
• Tired of searching through the mountain of papers on your
desk for that post-it with your meeting date?
• Try Evernote, an information organizational tool. Evernote
works with three basic functions: capture, access, and find.
Capture all of your information, from doctor appointments to
business meetings, access it from a host of different
sources like your computer, smart phone, or tablet, and find
everything in mere moments. With all of your information
stored in one clearly marked space, you’ll save time and
energy best spent elsewhere, like your growing company!
Best of all, Evernote is a free application, so you can test
out their organizational method and see if it is the right fit for
you, without breaking the bank.
