Thankful for Mobile Tech for more than the obvious reason...

With (hopefully) everyone having their fill of turkey and stuffing yesterday, I thought it was a good time to bring this up.

Many people in the business world ask me "why do you want to be accessible 24 hours a day?" The answer is simple, just because I am accessible doesn't mean I always answer or immediately respond! The point is, I have the option. This is great for not being tied to a physical location.

Now, the real reason for this article is the fact that of course this technology has brought me in touch with people; lots of people! These are people that I have more in common with than many of the people in my hometown. The world is getting to be an incredibly SMALL place thanks to the Internet! The mobile aspect just helps me to stay in touch with folks on the go. Some of you may know that I live on the Oregon Coast and am a video producer. There are not alot of folks here that I can rely on when it comes to an issue to address. Thanks to things like Forums and Users Groups, it is easy to find answers to questions that plague any of us.

So, at the risk of the obvious, besides family and friends I am thankful for the new friends I have been able to connect with in the past couple years as well as looking forward to making even more new friends in 2007!
