If, like Lunawat, you too are looking for technology to come to your aid in this time of crisis, here are some options that you must invest in: With work going byte-sized, e-ink and e-paper are now emerging as must-haves across boardrooms.
Amazon, the online e-commerce portal, has already sold 240,000 Kindles (a wireless reading device), and Esquire magazine (esquire.com) is celebrating its 75th anniversary by publishing this month’s issue with an electronic paper cover!
Checking e-mail every minute is critical for most executives. No wonder then that getting a wireless Internet connection for laptops has become a simple affair. Savvy executives swear by a wireless router.
"The new generation of routers is the equivalent of strapping three normal routers together to make one that is far more powerful. Their basic function is to beam the Internet all over your home and out into the backyard if you have one.
"Their range is about twice that of older routers and their transmit speed is up to five times faster," exults Vivek Pahwa, CEO, SecondShaadi.com who has installed one at home.
