Mobility and Employees

When you deploy VoIP for more than just cost savings you get something else - flexibility. This means many things, such as flexibility in location, flexibility in device, and even flexibility in communication method; between text, video, and phone. For example, think about installing a VoIP application on a smartphone, so that when using the Internet, your company’s phone network can be accessed by using the employee’s username and password. Now employees can check in with the office to see who is online, who is on the phone, whether there are any missed calls or awaiting messages. Most importantly, your mobile phone can now reach and be reached by the company’s network because of the communication applications. Once you have access to the network, you can look up co-workers in the directory and ring them right from your mobile. Since you’re calling from the company’s VoIP solution, the recipient’s caller ID will show your desk phone extension, not your mobile phone number. As such, wherever you are, callers just need to use one number to reach you.

Less Comprehension

While the reading of paper books declines, the reading of e-books is skyrocketing. Except for when people are playing Candy Crush or Word With Friends. Since this is just the beginning of the ebook era, people still do not know what types of effects the digital content has on the mind versus the paper versions of the books or textbooks. There is plenty of application development to enhance the learning and understand experience but it seems that people did just fine with paper books and highlighters. There was a recent study done that showed how comprehension goes down when things are read on a screen. Here are some things that you can do to help that. Material you'll need to really know, like school work, office work, fantasy football statistics, etc, stick to reading these things on actual paper. And if you read material on your phone that you're really going to need to know, slow down, pay extra attention & stop driving. Even better? Read the material twice.
