While at work, <em>you worked<\/em>, maybe turning on the car radio again at lunch, to stay current. The drive home consisted of a little news gathering, but mostly drive time radio-music or talk programming, with a little news sprinkled in. If you chose to watch them, the evening news programs at 7:00 PM provided a perspective on the day&#8217;s news, given by well known anchors, who you basically invited into your living rooms. <\/p>\n<p>Are you doing your news and information gathering the same way now?  <\/p>\n<p>I think it is safe to say that you get news delivered to you in a mostly different way.  Sure, you can watch traditional network news, at scheduled times. Of course, you can watch news 24 hours a day, via television, <em>or computer<\/em>. Via computers? Who ever foresaw that?<\/p>\n<p>Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.  <\/p>\n<p>These two guys have changed our lives, and have really changed our world. <\/p>\n<p>A gentleman by the name of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guykawasaki.com\/about\/index.shtml\">Guy Kawasaki<\/a> <\/strong>worked for Steve Jobs over at Apple Computer. Twice. Now he works for himself. Guy is known as an innovator, and is always on the cutting edge of all things online.
