Today I went to the Business Technology Trends Tech Lunch at Herrick District Library, put on by the Holland Chamber of Commerce. Jason Kehrer, Chief Problem Solver at The Image Group, presented 7 emerging technology trends to an audience of local business owners and professionals. Throughout the presentation, we discussed how these technologies are affecting our businesses, and how to take advantage of them.
I embedded Jason's presentation at the end of this post, or view it on SlideShare: Chamber Tech Lunch - Tech Trends. Below are my notes from the event.
Video chat
Trend: communication is transitioning moving from voice-only and text-only to virtual face-to-face
Trend: interact with computers, phones, and other devices by touching their screens or trackpads
After multi-touch, the next phase is gesture-recognition. Kinect for Xbox 360 recognizes motion; Microsoft intends to use this technology in Windows 8. Picture Tom Cruise in Minority Report
Examples: iPod, iPad, Android, Windows 7, Windows Phone 7
Personal point-of-sale (POS)
Trend: replace large, stationary POS systems with wireless, portable devices for use in-store or on-site
Accept credit card payments for sales, charitable donations, etc. on the go
Capture customer’s signature and photo, email a receipt
