This fascinating article from Arc Blog takes a look at where we've been in 2013 and how technology will transform the way we live and connect with information through technology. Great insights and ideas to get you thinking about how you might leverage these opportunities for your business.


Here are some highlights;


The Promise of 2013 was fulfilled:


"2013 came in like a lamb but it did not disappoint. It most definitely is roaring into 2014 at full force".


This article talks about the "fascinating look at the percolation of events that draw more and more significance from the rise of consumer awareness and its impending impact on business and its operations".

Thank you for your insights! Donna, whether we are talking about a library or any other business. I think that it all depends on who my customers are. Who are they, what is important to them, and how can I add value. How can we as a business adapt, evolve, and respond to what our customer need from us. The art of story telling helps us to communicate in a way that we not only reach the minds of our audience...we also connect emotionally.
