A Brief Look at Emerging Technologies

There is some fear in the implementation of new technology. Not really knowing what to expect and how it will resonate with your current systems and staff can be nerve-racking for even the most hardened entrepreneur.

In the near future it will likely be utilized in many business transactions due to its versatility.

Let’s take a look at ARPANET and how it grew into the Internet we all use constantly today.
