On The Brink, part of Ericsson’s Networked Society series, primarily explores the future of connectivity and the changing dynamics set forth by our rapidly evolving digital economy.
We’ll live healthier longer lives as a result of nanotech sensors used in conjunction with embedded wireless devices that will constantly monitor and optimize our physiology by relaying data back to cloud based medical services.

These are some of the most encouraging ideas considered by the continued growth and development offered by our increasingly networked world. Read More

When hiring someone to build a website for your business, there’s obviously a lot to consider both in terms of aesthetics and functionality.
