10 innovative technologies to make work from home more productive
1. Microsoft Teams
The ability to collaborate and share screens across devices and so fluidly is a game changer for remote work.
2. High speed internet
For about the same price as I was paying in 1997 my internet connection is 1,000x faster and also more reliable. (Cable Vs. ISDN).
3. 4k displays
I still use multiple monitors at this resolution but it is close to the largest practical dimension for a single monitor. I have a 65" TV about 5 feet in front of me and I have to turn my head to see the whole thing. The text can be tiny and still visible.
4. Oled monitor technology
Clear and flicker-free: OLED is in most smartphones now.
5. Led task lighting
Flexible, small and efficient. And it's usually cheap.
6. Web cams
I don't often show myself during meetings but the fact that I can is useful.
7. Amazon delivery
Mouse stopped working? Get another one delivered: sometimes within hours.
8. Cloud based project management
I have used Jira and Trello. It enables collaboration across distances.
9. Cloud based documents
From Google Docs to GitHub.
10. Text messaging and VPNs
This provides 2-factor authentication to secure virtual networks. You can be in a "trusted" environment without being in a physical building.
