Small Business Technology

 It is no secret to anyone that the economy is affecting every portion of the business sector. But most of the so called experts are ignoring the backbone sector of our country....small business owners. It is these small business owners that collectively employ the most employees , contribute the most to the spending channel of our economy and provide the most services that other small business owners need. As a small business consultant, I continue to wonder in amazement the number of business owners who do not or refuse to leverage available technology to not only run their own business efficiently but also use technology to actually reduce costs. I recently was asked to consult with a local, yet popular optician who has been running a well respected and successful business for over 20 years. Why did he call me? He was looking for a way to bring in more customers and increase business as a way to offset rising costs for his products and services. Here is just a sample of what I f

OSI Model

It has seven layers to make the network communication happened. All the data from source devices must go through all these seven layers in order to communicate to the destination devices over a network. Now let us explored the seven layers: Application layer - This layer is simply a GUI or Graphic User Interface that let the user viewing files, transfer files or other tasks that related to network communication to run over a network.

Tokyo Electronics

Image
 If you are a keen traveller and have ever found yourself in Tokyo, then you cannot have failed to notice that you were in the centre of electronic heaven. The Akihabara area is most definitely the area to head for if you are in Tokyo electronics shopping. This is a mecca for all things electronic including games consoles, cameras, hi fi equipment etc. Sometimes it is possible to get yourself a real bargain. A bargain, however, is only a bargain if it is what you wanted to buy and it serves the purpose that you bought it for. I say this because great care must be taken with Tokyo electronics. Very often you will purchase an item only to find that it is incompatible with either your current system or hardware. For example, in the Akihabara area of the city, it is possible to get some wonderfully cheap PlayStation games. These are genuine and authentic and not in anyway illegal or underhand. The only problem with them is that they are made for Japanese Playstations and will very ofte

Technology

Image
 Technology, that's what got us all into this mess isn't it? The internal combustion engine, jet propulsion, mechanized farming, power stations , pesticides, industrial pollution; the list goes on, and on. And now we're due to pay the price with both global warming and oil depletion looming as a result of squandering the earth's resources to feed our addiction to technology . Surely, since technology is so clearly to blame, we should strive to roll back the tide and oppose further so-called technological progress? Do I hear any takers for this proposition? A return to a golden age , lit by candles at night and warmed by the crackle of logs in countless hearths; a renaissance of home grown crops, chickens in the yard and beating your clothes on a rock down by the river just like you see in the movies? Oh I'm sure there are some diehard romantics who buy into the self sufficiency fantasy, but the really inconvenient truth is that if we all set about burning logs to
