In one of the many articles regarding Obama, this one refers to him embracing the internet and thereby enabling children to compete in the 21st century by attending 21st century schools and using 21st century technology.
With so much emphasis on the internet and the associated technologies, it stands to reason that we, as business people, must also embrace this medium to ensure that we do not lose out to our competition simply because it's perceived as too much effort.
Technology and marketing go hand-in-hand when it comes to maintaining a sustainable business.
Your business needs to be connected in order to connect to everybody else, well that's pretty obvious, isn't it!
But, if you're not, you won't be able to meet your competition head on and it will disappear - to another plane, and one that you're not able to compete with!. You'll soon find that there's less competition and ultimately you'll have less customers.
The market we are working in is changing all the time; over the past 20 or so years we've moved from a mechanical era to a digital era and now we're entering the virtual era. The price point or entry-level to this virtual market is time. Time to understand the impact on your business, time to understand the technologies that are available and time to invest in your staff to ensure that they are adequately trained.

Your business needs to be connected in order to connect to everyone else, otherwise who would you trade with. If you're not, eventually your competition will disappear - to another plane, one that you're not competing with.
Whilst we all recognize that technology is an intrinsic part of our lives it is plain to see that we have moved from the mechanical era to a digital era and now to a virtual era. There are many aspects of this technological environment that we now find ourselves in that are forcing us to change our personal and business habits.
