You're Wired

Throughout the hundreds of episodes of Small Business School (SBS), Small Business 2000 (1995-2001) and Small Business Today (1994-1995), there are many profiles, tips, and quotes about people who are "wired."

In this section of the web site, we take you directly to shows or segments of shows where we encounter somebody who is an expert about wiring and wireless, including:

• New technology and tips on using it.
• The challenge of keeping up with change.
• The Metaphorical Muses.

You have heard people say, rather judgementally, "You're wired." If the person has been drinking too much coffee it means one thing. If a person is doing undercover work it means another. And if you are putting broadband throughout your office, it means another. Strangely enough, there is a little synergy between all three points of view. We will show you what we mean.

• Aggregate business and home billings for the same service;pay separately but maximize your discounts.
• Do data mining of your bills and services.

• Use technology aggressively. Have an upgrade protection plan.

• All small business owners must be Internet-saavy today.
• Join an association and save money. Don't go it alone.
• Pervasive computing and the new Internet.
