There was a study done to see how many people use their smartphone while watching television. In the US there are 40% who do so on a daily basis, compared to as 12% of tablet users and 13% of smartphone owners say they have never done so. 45% search unrelated info on the web, 42% are checking social networking sites, and fewer than 20% are searching related ads they've seen on TV. While, I just researched some more related to this topic, I came to realize this results are correct and accurate.
Phone conferences became a convenient way to for businesspeople to share voice communication in a larger group. Soon, web conferencing added the capability to share pictures and slides and collaborate on a given topic.
Virtual events, taking place on web-based platforms, have enjoyed dramatic growth and acceptance in companies around the globe. By combining aspects of web meetings, webcasting and social networking, virtual events offer a unique attendee experience.
Gabby,
If you go into the article and highlight while you read (using the highlighter in the Diigo toolbar), the highlights will appear here as notes/summary underneath. :)
Business-process outsourcing (BPO) is one of the fastest-growing areas of
outsourcing, particularly in China
The cost of living in non-Western countries is much less than it is in the
United States or most European nations
Outsourcing does have some disadvantages
Outsourcing is a constantly evolving field
moment is for Indian companies to take on high-level jobs that require
creativity and language skills such as research and design, while China takes
the low-level BPO
The most controversial aspect of outsourcing is the fact that it seems to
threaten the supply of good jobs in the U.S.
