AI will go mainstream in 2023


I'm here to tell you about the future of tech. 


The industry and the press have been talking about Artificial Intelligence for years, but we haven't seen much in the way of real-world examples. Sure, we've got some fancy camera tricks on our smartphones and some cloud-based data analytics, but that's not exactly what most people think of when they hear the term AI.

But, mark my words, this is the year that's gonna change. 


We're finally gonna see some serious, in-your-face AI happening. The launch of Dall-E and ChatGPT at the end of last year was just a taste of what was to come. These are examples of what they call "generative AI" - the ability to create original content from a limited input. With Dall-E, for example, you can ask it to generate images of a red Porsche driving through wine country during a snowstorm in a pointillist style. 

And ChatGPT, well, it's even more impressive. You can ask it to write song lyrics, bedtime stories, or even college essays.

The Evolution of Office Technology: From Typewriters to AI Assistants

Office Technology Takes a Giant Leap Forward with the Introduction of AI Assistants

It's hard to believe that just a few decades ago, office technology was limited to manual typewriters and filing cabinets. But fast forward to today, and we find ourselves in a world where artificial intelligence (AI) assistants are becoming an integral part of the modern workplace.
 
 "...the evolution of office technology has been nothing short of remarkable. From manual typewriters to AI assistants, technology has transformed the way we work and communicate..."

_________

 The introduction of personal computers in the 1980s marked the beginning of a new era in office technology. With the ability to store and process large amounts of data, computers revolutionized the way we work and communicate. However, it wasn't until the advent of the internet and the development of sophisticated software that the true potential of office technology was realized.

One of the most significant developments in recent years has been the rise of AI assistants. These intelligent software programs are designed to assist with a wide range of tasks, from scheduling meetings and managing emails to conducting research and analyzing data. AI assistants are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and many are now able to understand and respond to natural language, making them more intuitive and user-friendly.

One of the most popular AI assistants is Google Assistant, which is integrated into a range of devices, including smartphones, smart speakers, and smart displays. Google Assistant can help users with everything from setting reminders and playing music to providing weather updates and answering questions. A popular AI assistant is Amazon's Alexa, which is available on a range of devices, including the Echo Dot and Echo Show. Alexa can help users with everything from controlling their smart home devices to ordering groceries.

"...there is a concern that technology is making us more isolated and disconnected from our colleagues and the world around us..."

Another exciting development in office technology is the rise of virtual and augmented reality. Virtual reality (VR) allows users to immerse themselves in a computer-generated environment, while augmented reality (AR) enhances the user's real-world environment with digital information. These technologies have enormous potential in the workplace, particularly in industries such as architecture and engineering, where they can be used to create virtual models of buildings and structures.

As you know, telecommuting is raging with the advent and acceptance of remote working. With the advent of high-speed internet and cloud-based software, it is now possible for employees to work from anywhere in the world, as long as they have an internet connection. This has led to a significant increase in the number of remote workers and has changed the way we think about the traditional office.

However, as with any technological advancement, there are also some downsides to consider. One of the main concerns is the impact of technology on our privacy and security. As we rely more and more on technology, we are also generating vast amounts of data, which can be vulnerable to cyberattacks. Additionally, there is also the concern that technology is making us more isolated and disconnected from our colleagues and the world around us.

The evolution of office technology has been nothing short of remarkable. From manual typewriters to AI assistants, technology has transformed the way we work and communicate.

The Great Rebalancing: What it Means for Employers and Employee




As a seasoned traveler and observer of the world, I've seen the ebb and flow of many things, and the job market is no exception. After three years of tumultuous ups and downs, it seems that the wild ride for American workers is coming to an end. The Great Rebalancing of the employer-employee relationship is upon us, and it's a time for both sides to take stock of where we stand.

 "...it's not a time to lay back and feel too comfortable. Job seekers should redouble their efforts and not let the tight labor market fool them into complacency..."

Managed Print Services Was Here: Big Data Business Intelligence



Data in the cloud,
MBI on mobile device,
Decisions are made.

We're moving from marks on paper to the clouds, all the data is moving off the paper files. But raw data alone is not valuable, it needs to be analyzed and transformed into actionable insights. In the past, data analysis was done manually or using tools like spreadsheets.

The Prints of Life: A week on the road in the world of Managed Print Services 2008

 

On the road again,
Deals to close, clients to meet,
Thrill of the chase lives.
__________


It's another day on the road, 


another week in the wild world of managed print services. I hit the gas on my beat-up Chevy and head towards Victorville, California, where a room full of copier salesmen are all vying for a piece of the action at an RFQ meeting. I can already feel the whiskey burning in my veins and the adrenaline pumping through my body. 

The drive there is a trip, let me tell you. Past the Rose Bowl, the site of many a Michigan defeat, and onto the Pacific Coast Highway. The ocean is a sight to behold, especially after a cold Michigan winter. Up to the client's office, where the C-level execs are waiting for me to inventory their fleet...

This is my element, baby.

Exploring the Potential of GPT: How it Can Improve Efficiency and Productivity in the Workplace



GPT, or Generative Pre-training Transformer, is a powerful language model that can understand and respond to natural language inputs. This technology has the ability to access vast databases and provide answers to questions based on millions of previous iterations and inquiries. However, one of the big concerns surrounding GPT is its potential to take away jobs and automate certain tasks.

In this article, we will explore the potential implications of GPT on the job market and how it can be utilized in a business setting. We will also take a look at how GPT can be used to generate an 800-word blog post in the style of Stephen King, create an SEO title and tweet, introduce a LinkedIn post, provide a five-point summary paragraph, and develop a two-day course outline.
