Today's Topic: Technology

Once a year, the Media Servies Department, all 4 of us :) attend a trade show called Convergence. Yesterday was the 4th time I attended, but perhaps the first time I actually understood most of what was being presented and discussed. Seeing all the "new toys" is definitely NOT my favorite part of my job. I prefer the people, MOST of the time. I enjoy the Meredith campus and community very much, and am grateful I get to work here. Today's ABCs all came from the seminar's I attended yesterday and will provide insight as to why some stuff I need to know can be kind of dry, and so.. for a bit of balance, I've included a picture a friend sent me along with the text message:
