Tech Team: In the Trenches
Table of Contents
Ever feel as if your "smart phone" is smarter than you are? In the technology world, a lot of products are now coming together. At one time, you took pictures with a camera, shot movies on a camcorder, talked on a phone and surfed the Internet on a computer. One day, however -- and it's not too far away -- all of these products will come neatly packaged into a single one-size-fits-all business tool. You'll call your client on the same machine that downloads your e-mail, checks your portfolio, takes a picture of your new listing and balances your checkbook.
The all-in-one technology isn't commonplace yet, but as new products
hit the market, Realtors must upgrade their equipment just to stay current.
For a look at what's out there right now, check out this month's Cool
Tools feature.
Expecting the unexpected: Preparing for a technical
disaster

children with sticky fingers or sudden and permanent hard drive crashes.
Some users have even lost all data while installing a Windows Update.

Cool Tools: Smart phones making you feel inferior?
There's really no such thing as a "smart phone." No phone can
call your mother for you or tell you it's best to increase the weekly
investment in your IRA if you want to retire at 55. But phones today can
do more than call clients as telecommunication companies add features
once found only in computers and cameras.
