Business Publication Assignment #1-Forbes

http://www.forbes.com/2009/09/14/multitouch-screens-enterprise-technology-cio-network-intelligence.html

The article I read was called The Death Of Business Intelligence, written by Dan Woods. This article was made to inform businessmen and entrepreneurs about the rapid increase in technology and the new and improved multi-touch screens. These screens are very expensive and not many businesses can afford them yet. Woods spoke of CNN anchor John King and how he used these screens while revolutionizing the way presentations and politics talk shows are made. During the 2008 presidential elections I remember watching Mr. King maneuver these screens and provide instant answers about the current polls. Most businesses are still recording data over months at a time and looking information up through websites and other sources. With these multi-touch screens, information can be found immediately and someone like John Woods can do an entire politics presentation without any help backstage. This article was very interesting especially because I remember watching John King do this during the Obama-Mccain election. Forbes.com was very helpful and a great site to find business articles.
