The Modern Workplace

Week in Review
On Wednesday, crowds converged on the Lincoln Memorial and at other venues around the country and around the world to commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr.s Dream speech, made during the 1963 March on Washington. In the fifty years since that famous speech, the way we experience moments that shape history has changed. We are no longer limited to radio, television, newspapers, and news magazines for accounts of important events. This week, people gathered and marched, but were also able to stream live video, tweet, and share their thoughts and images on other social media. This ability to communicate and participate anytime, from anywhere, is becoming central to our daily lives.  Companies are developing mobile app strategies, Facebook continues to grow its mobile members, courts are examining expanded liability for text message senders, and the government is testing contacting jury members via text message to alert them to report for service.
