Take the keyboard and screen of the average laptop (just like the one I’m typing on now), which still mimic the layout of a far older piece of technology – the typewriter and the paper that emerges from it. Also: The best laptops from CES 2023 Certainly when display technologies were more basic there was a reason to stick to that basic format. But laptops don’t have the same mechanical limitations as typewriters, and advances in screen technology means there’s absolutely no reason to assume every laptop must look the same....

Servers and devices often silo data. Different machines store data, but don’t necessarily share it all with other devices. Applications generate and store data, but only some might…might…be shared if a well-written API (application programming interface) is being used. Over time, organizations find themselves with a lot of data, but most of it is isolated, stored in separate metaphorical silos, never to be part of a larger whole. How edge computing creates the perfect storm for data silos When it comes to enterprise networking, especially edge-to-cloud, data silos occur naturally....

Quiet quitting refers to staff who – for whatever reason – disengage from work, so that they are only doing enough to get by – and certainly not going ‘above and beyond’ as some employers would want. Quiet firing is the employers’ version of this trend – disengaging with staff and not offering them opportunities for development in the hope that they will get the message and leave.
