POWERSTEP™

You drive a big truck, now you need a way to get into your truck easily. It just shouldn’t be difficult to get in and out of your lifted truck, right? That’s what POWERSTEP™ is for. Oh, and it’s not just a step up. It’s a step forward with power. This amazing accessory for your truck or SUV is AUTOMATED… which means it comes out from under the body of your car when you open the door. It unfolds just in time for you to hop in, then when you’re inside or out and you don’t need it anymore, it stows back under your truck. The folded aspect is great because now you don’t have to worry about ground clearance when going off road, or just driving over bumpy surfaces.

The POWERSTEP™ doesn’t look bad either. It comes with an integrated LED lighting system and is constructed of high-strength aluminum alloy components coated with a Teflon finish that meets military standards. The engine is completely weatherproof and the running board itself is built to resist corrosion. This is a great product from a great company.

There is a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty on POWERSTEP™.

BED STEP™

Bedstep provides an easy and convenient way to climb into the bed of your truck. It is a heavy-duty, retractable bumper step that installs under the rear bumper. That way you can use it even when the tailgate is open or when you’re towing something. Save your knees and back when getting into your heavy truck or raised truck bed area.

The BEDSTEP™ is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.

BEDXTENDER HD™

Here we have another attractive and well-designed product from AMP Research that makes your life easier. Lower the tailgate and install the BEDXTENTER so you can fit longer items in your cargo area. Go ahead and lay that ladder flat in the bed of your truck. It has a classic square U shape. If you prefer to drive with the tailgate up when there’s nothing to haul, place it in the truck, close the tailgate, and you’ve got a mini-fenced area to keep smaller items from rolling around.

These are just a few of the great products from the All-American line of truck and SUV accessories. Keep them coming, AMP Research!

The Apple iPad and beyond

As I sit here writing this article about my first-generation iteration of Apple’s new iPad, I can’t help but think of all the negativity I’ve heard and read about the device. The iPad is actually a great tool and fills a gap that many won’t recognize until they’ve actually owned and used one. I think a lot of the bad vibes about the device stem from the bad feelings they have about Steve Jobs and Apple’s marketing scheme in general.

First of all, it’s an expensive unit, no doubt. Starting at $500 for the 16g model, it’s essentially a giant iPod touch. You could buy a laptop for that price today, and that’s a major argument against buying an iPad. Well, the iPad isn’t meant to replace a computer, in fact, you need one to sync to upload files anyway. iPads are for consumers who already own a laptop or desktop computer, so they essentially don’t compete with cheap laptops. That said, for $500 you’ll buy a cheap junk laptop; iPad is a high grade premium device.

The iPad doesn’t do everything I want it to do… no, it doesn’t. Again, it’s not meant to replace an entire computer. With predictions that cloud computing will dominate the future, having a slate computer, like the iPad, is a logical step in that direction. I use the iPad for light work, like writing these blog articles. I use it for multimedia like movies, Internet/YouTube and unique games. The intuitive web browsing experience is unmatched by anything a regular PC can compete with. iPod audio and the iBooks app make it a fantastic device. The iPad is super portable with great battery life. I easily move it from room to room, onto the deck, or out for the weekend, without giving much thought to battery levels or transport charges. Let me tell you, this is much easier to travel with than my old laptop, with its surprisingly heavy shoulder bag and poor battery life. For actual work at home here, I still use my desktop or laptop, but I’d say I spend more than 50% of my “computer time” on the iPad now. I can type with my thumb very fast when I hold the device in portrait mode. The “novelty” doesn’t seem to be going away. In fact, I’m considering getting rid of my laptop entirely.

The predictions I’ve read are that in the future, most people will only have a desktop and a slate computer (and a smartphone). This means that laptops could become largely outdated. As it stands now, the only purpose I see for a real “laptop” is if you need to constantly carry it around to school/work and home. Most of today’s laptops seem to be desktop replacements anyway. They are big and heavy and seem to stay in most homes. From a value standpoint, a desktop would be a better buy and you’d get a much bigger screen to boot. With the advent of “cloud computing,” the future desktop PC will be just a small box with minimal power and storage. It will basically be a workstation, from which you will be able to access all your files, which are stored online. Your virtual “desktop” will be identical whether you use the computer at work, school, or home. A current example of cloud computing is webmail. Our email used to be downloaded directly to our personal computer, making it inaccessible from any other machine. Now, for most of us, our email is stored online via webmail clients like Gmail or Hotmail, and can be accessed identically from anywhere in the world. So I ask, why would we need “portable” laptops? The fact that most slate computers will become a “laptop” anyway seals the case, in my opinion.

For some, having a smartphone, like the iPhone, is the only portable device they need alongside their regular computer. It’s much smaller and more portable than an iPad, and not all iPads have 3G wireless anyway. For me, the screen size of a smartphone is too small to be practically usable. I really don’t need to surf the web everywhere I go, and the contract costs are astronomical. A semi-smart phone with basic email access is all I’m willing to pay for. To that end, I want the smallest and lightest phone that can fit in my pocket—even the iPhone is too big to always carry around, in my opinion. I don’t have a purse.

The big complaint about Apple’s methodology is that they release a device that lacks features and functionality. They market it as a cutting edge dream machine and release it before any competitor can release their competing products. Everyone and their dog go out and pay a premium price for the units, and then complain that they can’t do this or that. Within a year, Apple releases the second generation, which addresses the shortcomings of the first version, and everyone rushes to buy the product again. They effectively create a market for their second release by releasing an “incomplete” first generation. An example of this is that there is no webcam on this first iPad… but do they have the technology…?

The other big complaint is the closed system that Apple operates with to make a profit. In the US, iPhone users and iPad 3GS users are tied to AT&T, a company many dislike. These devices are also linked to iTunes, and now iBooks, making it easy to buy from Apple and surprisingly annoying to use files from elsewhere. All apps must be purchased and approved by Apple. However, it is not inconceivable that Apple will sell the iPads etc. At a loss, and then they make money from apps, music, and contracts. This is how the market for video game consoles works.

However, the competition is coming. At my last check, there are about 10 competing slates due to be released within a year. These slates will have screen sizes ranging from 5″ to 12″ and are powered by a host of chips including Nvidia’s Tegra 2 and Intel’s Atom. Popular operating systems mentioned are Google’s Android and Windows Embedded 7. If you want a slate that has more features and user control, it may be worth the wait. The iPad is more geared towards users who like everything done perfectly for them, which has been Apple’s methodology. That said, there is some user control, such as having the ability to customize the wallpaper with an image of your choice, and there are so many apps available that you’re bound to find a solution to other shortcomings. No, the iPad doesn’t do everything I want it to do (like run flash websites), but it does enough and it’s been one of my best purchases.

Eliminate Stagnation In Your Life: Prayers That Deal With The Spirit Of Stagnation

How do you know if you are stagnating? Here are some signs

If you have been experiencing chronic procrastination of your goals.

If you never feel like doing anything.

If you keep turning to sleep, food, games, mindless activities and entertainment for comfort.

· If you know you should be doing something but you keep avoiding it.

If you have a deep sense of feeling that you are living below your potential.

If spiritual things like studying the scriptures, praying, and fellowshipping with the brethren don’t matter to you.

All of these signs indicate that one is operating in the spirit of stagnation and should be dealt with prayerfully.

The spirit of stagnation is the retarding force that makes a person’s past better than the present. This delaying force creates stagnation, wasted effort, and delay in fulfilling life’s allotment. The devil is our greatest enemy, he wants to stop us from pursuing our goals, he wants to stop us from moving forward and even hinders our greatness by stagnating us and putting our lives on hold. He tries to make God a liar in the lives of God’s people. Do not be ignorant of the wiles of the devil. Since the devil is the enemy, therefore, we must fight in the place of prayer to get our life back on track, where God has truly intended it to be.

Prayer is a very important spiritual tool to fight and kick against the enemy’s operation, so as believers we need to use this powerful weapon to tear down those strongholds that prevent us from progressing. The scriptures say in 2 Corinthians 10:4

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for the destruction of strongholds”

As you spend time talking with the father about your situation, also make an effort to study his word, ask him to give you a verse that applies to your situation, quote it, confess it, and apply it directly to yourself. He can also pray in the spirit, speaking in tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterances. By praying the prayer points in this book, you will destroy

· Every barrier working against your progress.

Hard work without profit

constant frustration

fruitless effort

Failures to achieve anything in life.

Satanic embargo on your finances

slow progress

Stagnation is a situation where an individual stops experiencing progress in their life. It’s called an ‘anti-progress syndrome’. It’s when an individual’s life is on hold, they keep working and trying and have nothing to show for it, they just go from one failure to another and from one challenge to another. They try to change the situation but keep coming back to the same place.

When water doesn’t move or flow, it starts to stink or smell unpleasant, so it is for someone in a state of stagnation. As children of God, we are designed to constantly progress and not stay in one place, and if one does not move in life, that person will gradually start to suck, people will not want that person and they will also start to regress. . I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that every state of stagnation in your life be completely eliminated.

This state of stagnation is a challenging situation, and it is destined for the Glory of God to manifest. Without challenges, there would be no victory. Dan 6:10. When you find yourself in a situation where your health status continues to deteriorate, where you have not been promoted at your workplace even after many years of work, where your business has been the same for a long time (without enlargement or increase), or your financial history has been the same for years, then you can say that you are experiencing stagnation. These situations are stubborn and unpleasant situations that require violent faith and prayers to permanently overcome them. If you find yourself in any of these situations you need to be spiritually dissatisfied with it, shake off all spiritual laziness. Then his yoke will be broken and you will receive freedom in every area of ​​your life.

In the book of Exodus 14:1-end we saw how God delivered the children of Israel from their stagnant state. The children of Israel were in Egypt for years; they were working as slaves for the pharaoh and could not advance. But God came to their aid and rescued them from their enemies. From now on, the Lord Almighty will rescue you from your enemies and completely destroy them in Jesus name.

In 1 Chronicles 4:9-10. We are told that Jabez was an honorable man, but he never experienced this honor, there was simply no progress in his life. Until Jabez awoke from his spiritual sleep, he never got deliverance from him. So until we get to a point where you can say enough is enough, there will be no change.

Stagnation can lead to sadness, pain, difficulty, setbacks, fruitlessness and you must stop it from spreading its tentacles before it brings your life to a halt.

How to remove stagnation

1. You need to realize and acknowledge your problem. 1 Chronicles 4:19

2. Recognize that Almighty God is your only source of help. Know the kind of God you serve. Dan 11:32. Having the knowledge of the power of God.

3. Discover God’s promises for your life, determine to stand firm in his promises for your life and abide in them.

4. Be faithful and be HAPPY in all situations. When you experience unshakable faith in that situation, that failed situation will start to change.

5. Never give up prayers. Pray without ceasing. The moment the fire of God awakens holy anger in you for every situation in your life and you pray with spiritual violence, every yoke will be broken.

Psalms 23:6 Surely good and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, And in the house of the Lord I will dwell for long days.

They claim to be the “absolute top class/highest performance hardware solutions and no competition”.

provider, at any given price point.” Could Dell be next?

On August 10, 2006, shares of L International Computers, Inc. closed at $0.29 on no volume. On August 31, 2006, the shares traded as high as $1.85 and closed at $1.40 with more than 10 million shares.

Why all the investor enthusiasm?

a) A press release issued on September 1, 2006 announces its next-generation PuRam-Go™/PuRaid™ high-speed ultra-portable solid-state drive technology.

b) A press release issued on August 30, 2006 announces that the Metropolis is the world’s first laptop with Nvidia’s Quad-SLI technology; High-end graphics, gaming, and professional visual computing to be unleashed from the desktop box.

c) A press release issued on August 23, 2006 announced that L International signs a European distribution agreement worth $45 million; Breakthrough Deal solidifies global corporate marketing and sales strategies.

Great press releases, but is there any substance? Perhaps investors should focus on the following elements:

a) According to various magazines and trade articles, the company originally launched its technologies in 2003. We have not been able to find any financial statement indicating its sales, profit or loss since that time. The company says it will release financial statements sometime in the next few months. As a pink sheet company, they are under no obligation to provide investors with current or accurate information.

b) In an article published on October 14, 2004, the company was quoted as saying: “We are no longer in a position, from a financial point of view, to continue doing business and unfortunately we are forced to suspend our operations and liquidate our assets in support of our financial responsibilities”.

c) In a call to the company today, the company acknowledged that it had closed trading about eight months ago due to technology upgrades and plans to reopen in about three to four months.

e) Although the company claims to manufacture its own technologies with employees working from its corporate headquarters, it appears that the address on file is in fact a mailbox at The UPS Store in Santa Barbara, California.

f) Stock of L International Computers, Inc is traded on Pink Sheets and has been actively promoted through stock spam. Interestingly, a message posted by Pink Sheets LLC on PinkSheets.com indicates that they have removed stock quotes from their website until the company makes current information available to the investment community. Furthermore, they suggest that investors exercise caution and due diligence in their investment decisions, as companies that engage in promotional activities without providing adequate up-to-date information are often targets of fraudulent activity.

The company reports that there are approximately 100 million shares outstanding. Is this company worth $150 million? Investors beware.

Future autonomous cars and optical visual recognition systems considered

Over the years, our group of experts has been very interested in optical recognition. Specifically optical flow recognition that can be used by moving objects so they can run autonomously or fly autonomously. Now, using optical sensors is quite difficult and requires certain things from the environment. Whatever medium you are looking through, it needs to be clear so as not to give false readings. In the case of an underwater UAV, the water can’t be too cloudy and the lighting has to be just right, otherwise you’re going to bump into things and get lost, and that’s pretty expensive when it comes to prototyping trying to figure out a flawless autonomous navigation.

Now the other day I was driving in the rain, I turned a corner and couldn’t really tell where the road was because the markings had faded, visibility was bad and I was having trouble with my own organic sensors, namely my eyesight. trying to figure out where i was supposed to be when i turned the corner, no i don’t have bad eyesight ok but it was challenging for a couple of seconds there. I’m sure we’ve all been in this situation, and there’s another problem called “headlight overdrive” and that happens when you’re traveling at a decent speed and your car’s lights aren’t bright enough. to give you time to stop if there is something in the way. This is the reason why we have giant collisions in the middle of a thick fog on the roads, very dangerous indeed.

Whether it is an organic sensor such as the human eye or an electronic optical visual sensor (optical flow sensor) used in autonomous navigation, it is actually the same problem. In the future, self-driving cars will likely use at least some optical flow sensors to augment your other sensors to help you navigate. If so, then the road markings must be fairly visible and distinguishable from other objects on the road, near the road, or across the road. Also, powers that be at the local municipality, the state, or when it comes to the federal highway system, the federal government should take the ultimate responsibility for maintaining road markings.

We’ve all heard that due to budget cuts, some cities are unable to patch potholes in the roads or major road repairs fall apart. In the future with autonomous cars, this is not going to be a decent excuse because if the road markings start to fade or are not properly maintained, then all the robotic cars will start crashing. That’s not much fun if you’re driving into one that gets lost and goes off the road into something solid. Please consider all this and think about it.

Advanced Tips for Wholesale Video Game Resale

When it comes to marketing wholesale video game merchandise for their online internet store, many small businesses start to get stumped with unclear ideas about the marketing events that need to take place to keep their business with a steady clientele. When the business reaches its level of maturity, tangible sales of the store and its accessories decline or, in prolific response, sales can skyrocket.

What should a home based business that stays at home and a successful company on the rise, in many powerful eBay sales minds, do? When it comes to the Internet, yesterday’s marketing strategy and technique might have worked. Today, it could be a different story.

To this day, the best way to reduce advertising costs is to incur and become an expert in search engine traffic. While there may be easier, lazier ways to maintain a higher level of consistent visitor streams, free organic traffic from great positions in search engine results is still the best cost-effective method for advertising when you understand and focus. on what works.

When you think about it, paying $1.00-$64.00 and even more per visitor click for a single targeted keyword on many of today’s search engines, if you’re starting with just a few hundred dollars and haven’t tried and tested the results. Pay-per-click is sure to be the guaranteed way to sponsor top placements, but is it the smartest?

Well, a new search shows that optimizing your online store and adding multiple pages of original content to your online mini mall dramatically increases your chances of getting top search engine results. Not only that, having the right structured layout and the right keywords that are closely related to your site is priceless for long-term results.

The factor to understand here is that you will only get paid for results driven. That’s the motto of building a home-based mini-store online business empire without asking Mr. Trump for a loan.

If you ever plan on maintaining a steady stream of customers over the long term, try different marketing methods to keep your customers and expand your product line if you’re successful with the current overtime. It works with wholesale gaming items and accessories for many eBay and online sellers and should work if you drop ship or purchase wholesale items on demand for the purpose of profiting from a resale transaction. Will you test for long-term results or go for the simpler, more expensive option?

Could the mighty Zambezi River really become a waterway?

Worrying reports have recently surfaced in the press that the Zambezi Seaway Scheme, first raised in the 1950s by the Portuguese to reduce freight costs for landlocked countries in southern Africa, is back on the cards. .

The proposed seaway would be 1,500 km long, stretching from Victoria Falls in western Zimbabwe to the Indian Ocean in eastern Mozambique. The promoters of this mammoth scheme, the Zambezi Seaway Corporation, say it will offer a cheaper, faster and more efficient route to the ocean, thereby boosting local economies. The current cost of transporting large quantities of goods and minerals to the coast is prohibitive. Thus, by floating these goods, the cost of transportation would be drastically reduced, bringing them to the world market at greatly reduced prices, leading to an industrial boom.

The developers intend to dredge some sections, while the channels and locks will be used to bypass the rapids. Simple: well, the walls of the Cahora Bassa and Kariba dams will also have to be circumvented, apparently via a boat lift.

Can this really be true?

Reading various reports on the subject, the people behind this corporation are considering this. Haven’t we made enough of a mess of our planet earth by now? Have we learned nothing from the mistakes we have already made? Do we really need another industrial boom? Haven’t the latest industrial booms done enough damage to our world? Damage – that many of us are now trying to correct.

The concept is based purely on the economic advantages for the people of the region and the economies of the host world. There is no doubt that this would stimulate economies, but at what cost, it is about people, people, people.

No one seems to have considered the impact such a project will have on the environment and the abundant wildlife that thrives along the banks of the Zambezi or in its waters.

It is not up to us to destroy it, what right do we have to take one of nature’s most magnificent spectacles and turn it into a man-made seaway for our own economic gain? We are the custodians of this planet. Is this what you would call taking care of it?

If anyone, including the people behind the concept, took the time to experience this place of incredible beauty in its entirety, they would not be able to contemplate destroying it. This 1,500 km stretch of water is home to some of the most outstanding wildlife areas left on our planet.

I respect that each one of us on this planet has a different point of view. That if you didn’t know the Zambezi intimately, then you could be forgiven for not thinking of changing it from a place of outstanding natural beauty to economic viability.

But for those of us who know about this place, we must do everything we can to expose the value and beauty of this place to the people behind this scheme. Showing that if we destroy it, it can never be replaced, is it fair to our children, just so we can export cheaper minerals? Everything for the benefit of humanity is what it really is about. Does the animal kingdom really have no say in this?

The cost is expected to exceed US$3 billion, which is hopefully enough of a deterrent to prevent this scheme from going ahead. The worrying thing is that some nutcase in a government department who gets a big enough spin, along with possible backing from the East, could really get this project off the ground and destroy one of the world’s natural wonderlands.

We have to take action and prevent this from happening.

Before you can truly live, you need to find something worth dying for!

Why was Harry Potter released at 12:01 at night?

A missionary and his family were forced to camp

out on a hill. They had money with them and

they feared an attack by wandering robbers.

After praying, they went to sleep. Months later

an injured man was taken to the mission

hospital. He asked the missionary if he had

soldiers guarding him on that special night.

“We meant to rob you,” he said, “but

they were afraid of the twenty-seven soldiers”.

When the missionary returned to his homeland,

related this strange story, and a member of his

church said, “We had a prayer meeting that night,

and I took the roll. there were only twenty seven

of us present”.

Why was your prayer so effective?

Because they prayed it at midnight.

(By the way, that story is from Billy Graham’s

Hope for the troubled heart.)

Recently, something else was also scheduled in

the midnight hour. It was so big, so far reaching,

with the potential to affect the lives of up to

millions around the world.

I’m talking about the worldwide launch of the new

book in the Harry Potter series on July 16.

the midnight launch

Unless you’ve been on vacation in some cave (far

of television and other media) in recent weeks,

surely you have been bombarded by the

latest wave of “Pottermanía”, which was released

shortly after midnight (12:01 am to be exact) at

all continents.

Kids all over the world had to camp out at midnight,

at your favorite bookstores just to grab your copy

from “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”, the

latest book in the popular Harry Potter series.

Books were reportedly flying off the shelves in

the rate of 50,000 copies per hour! Incredible.

But why was it released at midnight?

Spiritual people understand that midnight is a

crucial spiritual entity by itself. hills

powerful history-making events you hear about

(both good and bad) can be tracked until midnight.

Some examples from the Bible:

* When God wanted to execute judgment on Egypt, He

thing the hour of midnight (Exodus 11).

* Samson waited until midnight to storm

the gates of his enemies (Judges 16).

* It was at midnight when Paul and Silas were

rescued from prison (Acts 16).

So it was a surprise that:

* Those who are at the forefront of the global renaissance

of witchcraft waited until midnight on July 16

to launch his lethal weapon?

Many bad things that we hear every day have their

origin at midnight. In Job 34:20 we read:

“In a moment they will die, and the people

will be disturbed at midnight, and will die:

and the strong will be taken without a hand.”

So why was Harry Potter released at midnight?

If you are a Christian, you may or may not be aware of

the explosive resurgence of witchcraft internationally,

initiated by a spirit known in our modern world as

harry potter His real name in the Bible is

Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies.

It has been brilliantly repackaged and is being

marketed to unsuspecting children around the world as

the funny, harmless and even adorable Harry Potter!

In this modern incarnation, it has some interesting

things in your children’s diary. has been called

the 7 point plane.

Harry’s 7 Point Planner

* Attract and initiate as many children as possible

in “funny” witchcraft through Harry Potter

books and movies… and little by little but in silence

graduate them deep and hard occult

core of black magic as they age.

* Push them to commit suicide (Note: many children

are reported to have gone into a deep depression

already as a consequence of death in this new

book – only the prelude to suicide).

* Using more children as instruments to commit mass acts

murder in schools and other public places.

* Use innocent looking kids to attract and recruit

his unsuspecting friends in witchcraft

(In the city where I live, 610 children gathered

just 2 days after launch to practice how

cast spells and mix portions)

* Position at least one practitioner of witchcraft

child in each family, then equip it for

destroy the home and turn that family into a

desert.

* Using children to promote an epidemic of

rebellion (with a little help from drugs

and hip hop music), plus an unprecedented

level of pornography, sexual perversion and

abortion.

* Use the kids as foot soldiers in the

renewed war against the spread of the gospel of

Jesus Christ to the next generations.

The good news

You see, this spirit of intelligent witchcraft (or

Harry Potter, if you prefer) is fighting this

serious war against children knowing full well that

they are the leaders of tomorrow… and GOD has a

special plan for them.

We know from Psalm 8:2 that GOD wants to use

children to dishonor their enemies.

And HE has graciously given us a very effective

weapon to help keep our children out of the clutches

from Harry Potter (also known as Beelzebub).

That weapon is…

Pray for our children while they sleep.

We, as parents, must minister to them gently.

and in love

Infants and young children (including those

in the womb) need to pray against

bad influence of friends, and unconscious

initiation to witchcraft through Pottermania.

They must be constantly placed under the

protection of the blood of Jesus.

You should get in the habit of reading the

all of Psalm 91 on your children… daily.

Here is a small sample of the type of prayer.

you should be praying:

“As the Lord lives, my children (name them for

name) will not fall under the spell of

Harry Potter and his agents in the name of Jesus.

I bind all spells and divinations

programmed to waste my children in Jesus name.

The God who answers for fire be God.

O LORD, respond with fire and put all evil to shame

assigned messenger against my children in the

name of Jesus.”

If you program this type of sentence in the

midnight, it will be:

* counter and destroy any raised evil altar

by Harry Potter against his children.

* remember and break all incantations uttered

that night to destroy the fate of your children.

(Note: God takes this type of activity

seriously, because HE knows how destructive

effects of divinations, etc… you can read

on the classic case of Balaam in Num. 22).

* (This is exciting!) stamp the mark of

“touch not my anointed” on the forehead of

all your children This indeed

put them out of reach of modern witchcraft

influences.

And there is more…

I’ll save it for next time…

To be hurt!

Technology

Important Knowledge on the Internet and New Technologies

Working on the Internet or in new technology industries (which in many cases go hand in hand) requires a lot of effort and knowledge. In general, when we say ‘Internet’ we actually need to specify the exact subcategory we are talking about: website creation and development, website design, social media, e-commerce…

If your career is tied to the Web or the IT company, you need to be aware of everything that happens around your company, even if it doesn’t impact it directly. All topics are related to each other on the web. And success in a job is always equal to your knowledge and experience.

While experience comes with time, you have to work on your knowledge for yourself.

Even if you work at a company with a specific product, for example a website that sells mobile phones online, you need to know a lot more that is not directly related to your product and work, such as:

• how to get ranked by search engines to appear on the first page of results;

• how to promote your website on the social media website;

• What new trends are there in the tablet market? Almost a rival to mobile phones;

• how to develop an application for iPhone, Android and Microsoft Mobile for your online store;

• which electronic payment system to choose and why;

• etc…

On top of that, the industry itself is evolving so fast that sometimes we can’t keep up with it.

Main topics covered by Internet and technology magazines

To get an idea of ​​what you need to know to succeed in your career in the IT world, let’s take a look at the main topics covered by Techcrunch or Mashable – the largest website on the Internet and technology:

• Social networks: Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube

• Mobile phones and mobile applications: App Store, Google Play; Microsoft Store

• Gadgets and innovations

• Inauguration

• Electronic commerce: Amazon, eBay,

• Payment systems: PayPal, Square, Amazon Wallet, Google Wallet

• Development and design: HTML5, user experience, etc.

• Blogging and Entrepreneurship

• Software

• Storage

• Security

This list could continue to add more and more new information and new topics once innovative products are released, as they often change the whole understanding of how we use the web.

What Search Engines Can Tell Us About the Web and High Tech

It’s also interesting to see that all of these themes are very popular, some more, some less, over time. Here are Google Trends statistics for some search queries from 2004 to the present:

Another interesting finding is related to Google AdWords. After entering just 3 search queries: ‘web’, ‘internet’ and ‘new technology’, you can get the following keyword suggestions:

• gadget

• Web design

• website

• information technology

• computer technology

• innovative technology

• internet games

• Mobile Internet

• web hosting

• new tendencies

• IT news

It clearly shows how broad this topic is. Way to go so that we learn to obtain all the necessary information about the Internet and new technologies.

Additional areas of expertise

In addition to the topics highlighted above, you should be aware of other important skills to have for your IT and Internet career, such as:

• Content management. This area of ​​expertise is related to website development, but also to social media and public relations.

• Project management. The ability to manage projects and motivate teams is essential in the Internet and IT industry, since all products that are released are, in fact, new projects within an organization. The hardest part is usually that the teams are spread all over the world.

• Marketing. This is almost the same as social media these days: product promotion over the internet. This area is related to understanding your Customers and Users, the ability to attract and keep them.

How new trends in web and technology can affect your work

You can’t just specify in a narrow area if you want to be successful and advance your career. You should always be aware of what is happening in the market, what new products are being released, and how it can all affect your work.

Let’s see how the mobile revolution affects our work. As a content manager, I have been faced with the need to learn more about mobile development as it directly impacted my work. Who would know in the first place? I had to develop skills in accordance with this new global change: going mobile. It meant I had to fit my regular content to small screens, think in shorter timeframes, be able to send a clear message in just a few lines.

As a designer, you’ll need to be able to squeeze the page depending on the device used and make sure it looks nice and professional. As a developer, you will need to find ways to reduce page load time.

In case of social media development as a customer service agent, you need to know about new channels that users can use to contact you and be proactive on those channels, like Facebook page.

To be successful, we must be proactive and react quickly to the changes that the Internet and new technologies prepare for us. But because of the speed with which these changes are implemented, it can be especially difficult to anticipate them.

It’s not that you need to know any specific information about any specific product. You just need to know how the web world is developing. For example, how Wikipedia was created, or who is Anonymous and what is he doing. These types of ‘businesses’ can even affect some institutions that are not online, such as government affairs. They can also give you some ideas about how certain things can be done: for example, the fact that the largest encyclopedia has been created by people themselves without any material motivator, such as salary or world recognition.

And our success in the Internet and technology area depends on our knowledge of this market.

It can be compared to financial analysts: any event in the world at large can massively affect stock prices.

Generation of new experts.

That being said, once we enter the world of the Internet and High Technology, we must be prepared and alarmed about what is happening in the industry. It can help us not only to keep up with the news, but also to outperform our competitors by following innovations first and creating new products ourselves by combining our knowledge in different areas.
