<p><b>1. We're <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperconnectivity"
mce_href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperconnectivity">hyperconnected</a></b><br>
That means that we each use a minimum of 7 devices for work and 9
connectivity
applications. The lines between business and personal use is blurring
more and
more. What does this mean for productivity? Maybe some personal stuff
comes in
during the workday, but in exchange, will people be working more during
off-hours? If that's the case, is there a concern for employee burnout?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><b>2. The tourists are coming! The tourists are coming!</b><br>
Tourist season is upon us - whether by land, by sea or by air,
technology will
play a part in how and where people decide to go this summer. Just
think,
people will be coming in to upload to and view their photo and video
sites.
They'll probably want to know how to tag them, too. Be prepared.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><b>4. Did you just phlash me?</b><br>
"A scary new (theoretical) malware attack, Phlashing, involves tricking
a
remote device into letting you flash its firmware so that the machine
can't
ever be rebooted, and must be pulled out and replaced. They're called
it a
"Permanent Denial of Service" (PDOS) attack -- there's a ton of tasty
new coinages in this little bit of ugliness" (Boing Boing).<o:p></o:p></p>
