A new era in IT


 

Network Support

Network Support was formed in 1995, and a lot has happened in the time until now. Us old folk have stories of Spectrums, Commodores, XT'S, AT's, DOS, Windows for Workgroups. This post serves to set the set the theme for the nature of the NS post in the future.

Bigger and Smaller

In the past 10 years, things have got bigger and smaller in the same breath, bigger in capacity, and smaller in foot print.

Until recently, the item that has changed the least has been the screen or monitor as we used to call them. Those bulky Cathode Ray Tube monitors occupied the real estate on the desk. Now the LCD screen frees up so much working space, and we put a second screen on our desks.

The Power of The Web

Web 2 technology has changed the internet horizon for the better and allowed dynamic websites like Facebook to emerge and totally dominate the web landscape. How far we have come since my first published website in 1993.

More Mobile and More fun

Never before has computing been so exciting. There are changes in technology and new devices that are changing the way we work. The iPad has totally dominated the tablet space, and led to renewed interest in the Apple brand.

The Cloud

Cloud computing has been spoken about for years, attempted for years, and only now seems to be adopted seriously by business. The concept of storing your "stuff" somewhere, that can only realistically described as "not here" requires a paradigm change, but more importantly requires bandwidth. Time will tell whether we have sufficient bandwidth.

The Future of the Net-Sup Blog

In this blog we will be bringing new and regular information as we give reviews, advice, tips, in the same way that our Newsletter has done in the past year. The contributors will be young and old, as we attempt to provide a service to our current customers, and people that we want to be our customers.
