“Piling” on Technology

by | October 25, 2005

As you may have noticed, it’s been awhile since my last post. This was due to what we all call “technical difficulties” — and what I call “piling” on technology. So you have an internet connection that works, a phone that works, and cable TV that works. Then you decide to put in a cable modem and change your phone to Voice over IP (because it’s cool new technology and much cheaper). So your cable modem goes out and you’ve lost your internet and your phone. Fortunately your cell phone works! When you call to get it fixed, all parties point to one another as the source of the problem. As a non-technical person, this is incredibly frustrating and causes you to lose hours of productivity! The issue with my blog was simliar in nature — a separate web hosting company, blog site, and two technical resources; and finally, a solution after hours of “technical support”! Unfortunately, I can’t provide any real insights as to how to overcome the “piling” of technology issue except to have a great technical resource you know and trust! I am happy to have my blog back online to share small business news and insights!
