Today, we are poised at a moment in time where we can transcend the limitations of past book technologies and bring the power of books to all humans. However, as a technology, printed books come with serious challenges for some communities (like blind people) that technology can unlock. Love of the print book.

It’s time to catch up on some nonprofit technology trends and news again! It doesn’t rely solely on the relatively few big data centers out there, but rather on the emerging Internet of Things in which processors are embedded into appliances, thermostats, cars, street lights, buildings, etc. Here in the U.S.,

Indeed, millions upon millions of individuals take to the Internet every day to share their thoughts, opine on a particular subject, share information specific to a certain theme or industry and even just rant and rave about any old thing. Basically it’s a drag on readability.

I’ve been working with nonprofit organizations on technology issues (strategy, implementation) for about 15 years now. I remember the heady days, when most nonprofits didn’t even have networks, and some of them still didn’t have internet access. I still think I’m doing good.

I’m not leaving nonprofit technology, though, just this particular role – I expect to stay involved, keep connected, keep prodding and poking, and keep learning. If I had it to do over again, I would have started a nonprofit technology organization 10 years ago. I have now realized I need to set it down for good.
