Are You Addicted to Your SmartPhone?
As of January 2014, 90 percent of adults in the U.S. have a cell phone, and 58 percent
of us have smartphones. Our relationships with these phones are close and constant.
The Pew Research Center confirmed what we already knew – we're addicted to
them.
More than two-thirds of us check our cell phones for messages, alerts or calls even
when the phone didn't ring or vibrate. Forty-four percent of us have slept with
the phone next to the bed for fear of missing a contact during the night. And 29
percent of us describe our phones as "something we can't imagine living without."

Local Service and Support is Critical
The other day, we received a call from the owner of another local Kansas City business.
They needed help and didn't know where to turn. It wasn't our first call like this
and it probably won't be the last.
This company was in trouble. They were losing customers including one was a major
part of their business revenue. That KC business hadn't changed their product, pricing,
people and service that had helped them win those customers in the first place.
But now customers were complaining about such poor service and lack of response
that were taking their business somewhere else.
So, what had changed? Their telecommunications.

In the past, there were very few programming changes an end user could make on their
business phone system. You needed an experienced, trained technician to do the job,
or you were just asking for trouble. So, every time you hired a new person or moved
people around in the office, you had to pay for a service call. (Thank you very
much!)

TECHNOLOGY TIDBITS...
Twitter Was Born in a Missourian Brain
Twitter began in the mind of a kid born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1976. Jack Dorsey
was interested in computers and communications and started programming while he
was still in high school. He was curious about the technological challenges of dispatching
