'At dinner last week, my long time friend Dave Jilk (we just celebrated our 30th friendship anniversary) tossed a hypothesis at me that as people age, they resist adopting new technologies.

Eventually we popped back up the stack to dealing with changing tech and at some point I challenged Dave to write an essay on this. .

'If you have had some success in a business, I’m sure you bristle just like I do when someone says “You were just lucky…” I’m a strong believer that we all make our own luck, which means that the harder we work, the luckier we get. In reality, “hard work” is just a catch-all term for a list of principles that good entrepreneurs follow, allowing them to work smarter and improve their odds of success.

'The Internet as we know it has evolved tremendously over the years. What started as an experiment that connected academic and government computer systems has today become an entire globe-spanning network of interconnected machines and devices that not only include huge enterprise servers but also that mobile device in your hand. In fact in 1984 only about 1,000 hosts across university and corporate labs were linked, and just 130 websites existed in 1993.

'That the tablet device changed the face of the consumer electronics industry is beyond question. Ever since the introduction of the iPad and the subsequent popularization of tablet-type computers, the new form factor has condemned even the vaunted netbook, once considered the future of mobile computing, to the trash heap of technology history. But not all manufacturers agree that the tablet device need to be constrained in its existing form.

If you wanted a job in consumer goods marketing for example, it really mattered that you had experience in consumer goods marketing. If you wanted to transition industries it was an incremental process. You had to eek your way across to new ground. Small step by small step.

Like most people, I’ve seen them popping up at the top of my feed for some time now. . At their launch they we heralded as new. Even revolutionary. But with Twitter’s addition of expanded media in our feeds yesterday, these once subtle, maybe even forgettable, ad units have taken on a new life.

'By Emily Miller. Cloud computing — the concept sounds overwhelming and a bit technical, for those who are not aware. If you are an entrepreneur, you may think that you don’t need technical solutions, such as cloud computing, to get your business off the ground and help it run its best. However, you are probably already using certain cloud computing functions without realizing it.
