2017 is here and like always it is our duty to provide access to educational articles to our vastly growing customer database. As we all are fulfilling our New Year’s resolutions and reaching the many goals we set for this year, we as a company must do our due diligence to keep you all up to date with our changing technological world. In the ever so evolving world of technology, how can we keep up? Understanding the variables of what will stay and what will go involves great insight. Think about it, how many different devices and cables have we seen over, let’s say,the last 15-20 years? We went from tube tvs, dial up internet and cellphones with antennas to thin,flat screen tvs which are lighter than the earlier versions, plethora of powerful and light handheld devices and internet speeds that makes dial up seem as ancient as smoke signals.
Technology does not change by itself, technology advancement is dictated by a group of individuals who determine the needs and wants of the industry. Who is this mysterious group of individuals you might ask? YOU of course. Yes, you the customer gives detailed experience reviews and provides insight on what features would make your life easier. Now even though you control the market, the new technology needs standards to make sure the product is safe for use and meets the guidelines for the market. This is where standards organizations come into play. These groups help deliver the advancement and change in technology.
The goals of these organizations are to standardize any product developed and make sure that it makes life uncomplicated, secure and fruitful. Most of the time these different organizations develop principles that will allow them to stay on the same page as other organizations standards. The purpose of these actions are to allow the standards to build within each other and avoid copying each others provided plans. Now with that being said, we know competition breeds perfection so there is plenty in this market. Even though organizations build their standards to help each other and make life easier on consumers, they also compete with each other to provide the best standard in the market which in return will create the best products. There are thousands of these organizations around the world, so what I will do is key in on the major ones throughout this month.
