The Modern Workplace

Week in Review

In the last few years, driving safety initiatives have focused on the dangers of texting while driving. With the rapid evolution of technology, however, new dangers seem to be emerging all the time. Someone received a citation for driving while wearing Google glasses. Its anyones guess what may be next.  Twitter was also front and center this week. The company introduced a new photo preview in its Twitter feeds, Starbucks created gift cards that can be sent via Twitter, and two companies sued Twitter for over $100 million dollars for allegedly hiring them under false pretenses to promote the sale of Twitter stock.
