When Bob and I were brainstorming this month's contest, I kept going back to the theme of technology and how it's helped us -- and some would argue, also hurt us. And I started thinking about how we used to do business back in the day. I'm sure many of you, just like me, remember work before email. How did we get anything done? Even though most of us lived in the time before cell phones, email, the internet, etc., it's still hard to remember how we actually did our jobs.

What if we didn't have cell phones?           What if we didn't have laptops?

If any of you are fans of Mad Men (my Sunday nights are sacred during the season) it's funny to watch them sit at a desk with nothing but a pen, paper, phone and typewriter. I guess that's why they are always drinking and smoking -- they could only accomplish so much with so little, right? Well, I started thinking about choices -- what we would give up if we absolutely had to give up something. And when I ran it by Bob and he had recently dropped his phone in the toilet we knew we had our theme.

This is a great opportunity to give props to the websites you visit every day, the app you downloaded that has totally helped your business, and all the other tools you take for granted. I like that this group is made up of sharers -- if we all help each other we all succeed, so we want to hear from as many of you as possible. Tighten your thinking cap and start typing away!

Sounds like a great contest.  i can't wait to read all the details.  My daughter is graduating from high school this year and we are out shopping for laptops for school next year. (University of Tennessee)! I thought back on my high school graduation gift, a typewriter.  And that was pretty awesome back then.  We have really made some technological strides!

What a great contest! Although it seems it would be difficult (if not impossible) to pick just one!!!

Best,
