The Pace of Innovation in a Digital Age


I remember back to when my son was roughly four years old and we were in the garage cleaning out some old boxes. He reached into a box and pulled out a cassette tape. With his huge brown eyes looking at me he asked, “Will this hurt me?” My first response was going to be, if it’s Duran Duran….then yes. I replied “no, it plays music.” I then had to do a show and tell after I found a cassette player, which proved to be an even greater challenge than cleaning out the garage.
The world of mobile everything is upon us – companies are integrating, aligning, and providing advanced modern mobile learning software that distributes content, communication, and daily performance management all in one solution.
The format battles and changes over the last decades have included LP to eight-track to cassette, MiniDisc to CD, Beta to VHS, DVD to HD-DVD to Blu-Ray disc, magnetic tape to floppy discs and zip drives to DVD-ROM.

The world of mobile everything is upon us – companies are integrating, aligning, and providing advanced modern mobile learning software that distributes content, communication, and daily performance management all in one solution.
