Information technology can greatly expand communication, enterprise collaboration, knowledge sharing and, by extension, our capacity for discovery and innovation. But for now, enterprise collaboration is largely powered by e-mail and websites. Web conferencing, instant messaging, and shared workspaces, too, are available either as technology solutions or online services. These tools remain fairly fragmented and still don’t unleash the full potential of enterprise collaboration. What people require is an enterprise collaboration platform that combines the power of social networking, content creation, and real-time communications and project management. Thankfully, all of these facets are coming together, with Huddle, a superb enterprise collaboration platform.

To succeed, enterprise collaboration solutions must meet a few key criteria: World-class enterprise collaboration software Online enterprise collaboration. Huddle iPad App Recommends Relevant Documents To You - Personal-tech - Mobile Applications - BYTE. Designed to compete with SharePoint, Huddle is an iPad app positioned as a content discovery and recommendation platform that can find documents for you. At the Mobile Connect conference in Boston last week, there was a lot of chatter about how email is slowly dying, and which mobile apps can boost productivity without compromising security. That's why the new iPad app Huddle looks particularly interesting, and somewhat promising. Launched Tuesday in the Apple App Store, Huddle goes a step further than most productivity and collaboration apps.

It actually recommends files to users. What this means is that users don't have to send files through email to collaborate or worry about always updating the most current version. Instead Huddle can actually recommend files that the workers might not even be aware of and surface the information for them. Watch the video below to see how it works. Is Huddle a glimpse of the future? More Insights. Tablets in the enterprise: Pros and cons. It's safe to say that tablets are here to stay, something not clear when the original iPad hit the streets. Analysts are mostly in agreement that tablet sales will keep growing, with Apple and Android leading the way. With Windows 8 and its tablet focus coming up soon, eyes are turning toward the enterprise for the next big tablet market. That may happen, but there are some clear issues that the enterprise will have to deal with to welcome the tablet into the workplace with open arms.

Tablets in the enterprise: The pros No moving parts. The one tablet feature that IT staff of major enterprises tell me most excites them is the lack of moving parts onboard. I am told by the IT folks that if a computer, laptop or desktop, has a mechanical part that must be used daily, a fair number of the devices will fail in the field. This is a problem with large enterprises that deploy tens of thousands of computing devices to employees. Low cost. Easier to lock down functionality. Employee resistance. Citation. We are raising a generation of deluded narcissists.

A new analysis of the American Freshman Survey, which has accumulated data for the past 47 years from 9 million young adults, reveals that college students are more likely than ever to call themselves gifted and driven to succeed, even though their test scores and time spent studying are decreasing. Psychologist Jean Twenge, the lead author of the analysis, is also the author of a study showing that the tendency toward narcissism in students is up 30 percent in the last thirty-odd years.

These data are not unexpected. I have been writing a great deal over the past few years about the toxic psychological impact of media and technology on children, adolescents and young adults, particularly as it regards turning them into faux celebrities—the equivalent of lead actors in their own fictionalized life stories. On Facebook, young people can fool themselves into thinking they have hundreds or thousands of “friends.” They can delete unflattering comments.

A recent report showed PC sales down 14% and Apple desktop sales flatConsumers increasingly are choosing smaller, cheaper tablets and smartphonesMicrosoft's mobile-friendly Windows 8 has confused some usersBut company is working on "Blue," that's reportedly more desktop friendly (CNN) -- There's a devastating narrative being told about the PC these days: It's dying.

It's not a slow death either. Sales of traditional PCs are collapsing faster than anyone expected. And this isn't just some vague perception from the anti-Microsoft crowd. The entire market appears to be imploding, and it doesn't just apply to PCs running Windows. So what's going on here? There are a ton of theories floating around out there, but the consensus seems to be that PC makers still haven't figured out how to leverage the transition into mobile devices. 2012: Last rites for PCs? Citation. A Look At The Future Of Mobile Phones From CES 2013. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) gives us at peak at what type of products we’ll see in the coming year. In early January, reporters from around the globe arrive in Las Vegas, Nevada to find out what the big trends will be for the coming year. This includes everything from TVs, cars, accessories, computers, tablets, toys, audio equipment, and even mobile phones.

There is always at least one innovation that surprises even the tech journalists that have seen it all. This year, with Qualcomm (the company makes the processors found in many mobile phones) delivering the keynote address at CES, it’s no surprise that we saw quite a few innovative mobile phone designs. What if a cell phone display didn’t have to remain straight and rigid? Speaking of bendable displays, Corning showed off its version of bendable glass called Willow Glass. If Corning sounds familiar when it comes to cell phones, it should.

Flip the phone over and there’s an e-ink display. Welcome to Forbes. Pros and cons of digital devices in the hands of young students. I have three kids and they love their tech tools, but I worry about the possible effects of electromagnetic radiation, and about the way in which time spent with these devices takes away from time they could be spending in more active pursuits. I also see skills and learning coming from their use of these tools. While I am clearly an advocate of technology, I also recognize that there are down sides and trade-offs that come with these advances. This guest post from Daniel Kimball reflects those realities and I look forward to hearing what readers think about this modern day dilemma. – K. Walsh Digital devices are all the rage among young people today, across all ages. Tablets top the youngest student’s wish lists, pre-teens crave smart phones, and high school students would love to have both plus a laptop computer!

MP3 players and other electronic devices are also widely used by many of today’s students. Image from PROS include … CONS include … Citation. Mobile technology: The amazing impact on our lives. I've been passionately following mobile technology for decades. In the beginning, the mobile devices weren't very mobile and a strong back and arms were required to lug them around. They always had to be next to a power outlet, as there was no such thing as batteries. The technology that drives mobile devices has improved a lot since those days, and especially in the last ten years. Mobile gadgets have gotten smaller, more powerful, and very useful. They are everywhere and play increasingly greater roles in the lives of most everyone.

Availability of mobile devices is rapidly spreading throughout the world and making significant improvements in many lives. It's worth taking a break from our obsession with how thin, light, and adaptable the hardware of mobile gadgets might be. Mobile technology, in the form of phones, tablets, and notebooks, is making our lives better than ever before. Communication is wonderfully impacting our ability to stay close to friends and family.
