Spy Gadgetry At Its Best

Today is a monumental day for Gareth. He is the owner of a wholesale toy business in a large cosmopolitan city in South Africa. The business is ten years old and growing at a steady pace. Gareth is doing well for himself bar the fact that he absorbs a R250 000.00 loss due to staff theft from the warehouse annually. All previous attempts at securing the warehouse have failed. All attempts that is, until today. Today Gareth is placing mini digital video recorders inconspicuously all over the warehouse. They are so small they are not noticeable unless one is specifically looking for them. He knows with certainty that within the next couple of days he will have been able to identify the culprits who are carrying away his profit. Only he knows about the cameras so there can be no leaks. Hell have all the proof he needs to root out the riff-raff.

 Today is a monumental day for Bartholomew. Hes cracked his first case. His detective agency has only been open for three weeks and his first client, Cindy is set to meet him at 10am to go over the details of the case. Cindy has been suspicious for months that her husband Eric is having an affair. She came across Bartholomew on the net and decided to find out what is on the go once and for all. He has been scoping out hotel rooms, restaurants and even a fun fair. True, he is a rooky, but he has all of the right paraphernalia to back-up his findings as he is to present them to his client. Today will not be a good day for Cindy.

 Today is a monumental day for Morganna Harrow. She and Sebastian, her husband, have been trying to fall pregnant for four years. It has been a long and rocky road of hopes dashed and emotional roller coasters. As tears of joy and relief glide down her cheeks she puts the positive pregnancy test into the kit bag she has made up especially for this time, for these events as they unfold. In the kit is a spy-pen that will record Sebastians reaction when she hands him the test to reveal the momentous news. At Baby Harrows twenty first birthday celebration, years from now, all and sundry will be able to see the abandoned happiness with which her father reacted when he found out that they were expecting her. Baby Harrow will treasure the kit her mom has saved for her. The kit in which the positive test and the spy-pen have been preserved for posterity, will bear testimony to the fact that she was indeed longed for and wanted by her parents more than anything in the world.

 Today is a monumental day for the Grade 7s at Risidale Primary School. They have been back from summer camp for a couple of days and now have the opportunity to address the school assembly regarding their trip. The lights dim and pretty soon the entire school is splitting their sides as footage of Miss Brown accepting the shock candy as a gift is displayed for the world to see. Her reaction to the practical joke is hilarious and definitely something that the campers will treasure and hold as unforgettable in years to come. Who would have thought the old goat had a sense of humour after all. Thanks to the Scott twins and their spy-camera, the moment has been captured to be lived and re-lived. Miss Brown has secretly boot legged a copy for herself. As she watches it, she recalls so many of those summer camps and the fact that for some reason so many students experienced her as austere. She remains nostalgic and treasures those precious moments captured, the fun, the laughter, the beauty of youth and the companionship.

 Today is a monumental day. Somewhere in the world, there are moments that need to be captured  for whatever purpose; and everywhere in the world there is technology to capture these moments. These technologies are now at every laymans fingertips. Yours and mine. These technologies hold the answers to the unanswered questions in the lives of so many. Business and personal. These technologies hold the proof and evidence sorely needed. These technologies nurture and preserve those magical moments, that thanks to them, will be remembered now and in the distant future.

Online Conference Software verses Offline Conferences and Meetings

Business meetings and conferencing happens very naturally in any serious business for development and growth. Right from the small office get together with a handful of people, all the way up to venue hosted conferences with thousands of attendees. This kind of business collaboration has been vital in business development and for simple ease will always remain.

Due to the importance of this, we have seen the birth and rise of online video conference software aiming to replicate that of an offline meeting. Fortunately with todays technology they are now finding this very easy to do. In fact, they have excelled many expectations. If you are looking to make the move over to using online conference software for your business then maybe my article will help you to understand and see why it is a great move. In fact, there are thousands of businesses who have adopted this giant of a business tool and hundreds of providers to go with it. The potential is huge, but what my article is aimed at is to help you understand and see the major benefits in doing so. I will quickly guide you through the pros and cons involved.

The main pro to adopting on online conference package is costs. As you may know it can cost a business many thousands of dollars to hold an offline meeting. Even the smaller meetings can still be in the thousands with extra expenses involved. Expenses such as, travel, accommodation, entertainment, refreshments. The list goes on. An online conference can cost you as little as $8.97 a month for a 50 seat room. To really cut these offline meeting costs to a minimal make sure you choose a conference provider who charges you per room and not per attendee. This is obviously a huge pro to moving over to online conferencing. Cutting costs in any business is vital and online conferencing software does this nicely.

Another huge pro to using online conference software as apposed to regular meetings is that your location plays no part in being able to attend. No travelling is involved and everybody who is vital to making the meeting literally needs a computer and access to the Internet. You can be anywhere in the world and still attend the conference at the click of a button. It allows for true global communication and eliminates exhaustive planning.

Another pro, is technology allows us to implement loads of tools within our conference meeting room, all of which can be toggled on and implemented via the conference meeting moderator. Tools such as PowerPoint sharing, browser sharing, video sharing, whiteboard sharing, desktop sharing. You can even record the conference to archive for later use or for attendees unable to make it to view later. I say these tools are a pro because they are all in one place at the click of a button to activate. Planning ahead is minimal and combined they make for a very engaging streamlined experience. Very much like that as an offline meeting but from anywhere in the world and at a very low cost.
