Karen’s Weekly Technology Hits Review
#NFTs #digital art #starlink #bios #automation #working from home
Keeping up to date with technology, art, music, etc. can be time-consuming. Technology Hits makes your experience easier because everything ‘technology’ that you need to know awaits your arrival.
Let’s kick off with a story that took the art world by storm. A very impressive piece of work. To save you the bother here’s more information for you. Digital online art arrived unknown and sold for a record-breaking $69m!
I’m right there with Leo Hynett as his friend tries to explain what on earth NFTs contributed to the art world. And what, for goodness' sake, is a Beeple? OMG, I am so behind the times!
I shared an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) music article last time, so if you read it you should at least know what one is. But don’t worry if you didn’t because Leo tells us in his story. Leo’s recanting of his story is hilarious.
‘I still don’t understand,’ I groaned, burying my head in my hands as a very patient friend tried yet again to get the concept of NFTs into my skull.
I worked for British Telecom for 20 years. I used acronyms all the time with colleagues who’d been there as long as I. When the Internet business exploded BT recruited many new managers.
I will never forget a highly entertaining presentation from one of those new managers. She spoke of her frustrations with the BT acronym jargon. Acronyms are like secret handshakes between people in the know. Newcomers or outsiders are clueless.
vidzparu writes on a subject so many managers and all other levels will find very useful. Bravo vidzparu!
One of the superpowers of a technology manager is the ability to make the business understand the tech realms. It’s a skill that is hard to master. Multiple unsuccessful and successful attempts have taught me a few lessons that helped in becoming better at it.
Now we have three in a row from Ryan M. Raiker, MBA. He kindly introduces himself to the Tech Hits audience in the first one. He already looks famous. I think he will do exceptionally well on Medium!
Have you resisted writing your bio? I know I did. Dr MY frequently encourages doing so, here’s his bio FYI. Ryan’s bio is friendly, chatty, and a pleasure to read. I’ve never interviewed anyone before, but I’d love to interview this gentleman!
Hello, Readers and Followers of the Technology Hits community and publication. I was invited to share technology stories and real-world examples of how tech is massively changing the way we live and work! I was invited by Terry L. Cooper and I am excited to share with you all fun and engaging tips and tricks, articles, and quick reads I hope to engage and inspire you.
I like the way he’s introducing readers to information that will be useful to us in the actual world outside of this platform. At home, in the workplace, we use technology. Better to embrace than resist.
Maybe one day we’ll be paid to be creative or do the things only humans can do.
Automation is here to help and assist us all.
Business leaders cannot lull themselves into complacency based on present conditions but must keep transforming for the future. As we look to embrace the new normal, we must still deal with the old! Digital transformation is first about the business and how it operates and then about the technology, but we should all be familiar with the trends and concepts.
Do you want to know more about the technology of working from home? What some employers are doing to destigmatize mental health issues? What HR departments are looking at where work hour flexibilities are concerned? You’ll like this article. It has plenty of ideas you might like to share with your manager and or HR department.
The pandemic and the social issues of the last year changed the world, sparing no continent. In the same surge, they prompted some unprecedented workplace drifts that are changing the way we work.
Star read
My dad is a big fan of anything Elon Musk produces so I was bound to offer this sterling review of Starlink from Joanna Henderson. I have to agree with Joanna. It is pricey. But wouldn’t it be fantastic?!
If you follow Elon Musk’s innovations and progress, you probably are aware of his goal to provide Internet access to everyone worldwide. Despite a few hiccups along the way, the South African businessman has successfully turned this dream into reality.
Thank you for reading.
Before you go …
Would you be interested in writing your own Weekly Review of Technology Hits? I’m looking for a guest reviewer with the possibility of taking it over in the future.
My reviews started receiving attention in February when all but one were curated. They continue to be curated. If you time and skills to achieve the same for six weeks, you’d be helping both yourself and me. This applies to Tech Hits, ILLUMINATION, ILLUMINATION’S MIRROR, and ILLUMINATION Book Chapters.
Meanwhile, I will be focussing on a writing and life-changing course I just signed up for with Sinem Gunel.
Here are all my editorial bulletins for your delight. A quick way to discover new and upcoming writers on ILLUMINATION, ILLUMINATION’S MIRROR, and Technology Hits.
