In the new millennium, it is very difficult to find someone without some sort of handheld wireless device. A handheld wireless device is a small computing device which displays a screen that is either touch and/or a keyboard. Examples of handheld devices are, smart phones, iPad, PDA devices and much more.
Handheld devices are lightweight and because of the advancement in technology we are able to check e-mails and browse the web ANYWHERE and ANYTIME. All one needs is a wireless network such as Local area network (LAN), Metropolitan area network (MAN), Wide area network (WAN) etc. Wireless network has allowed people with the option to work from home and has created the concept of open office.
Multi-functional devices combine e-mail, fax, photocopier, printer and scanner into one machine. Offices are changing form a "print and distribute" environment to a "distribute and print" environment. Some security measures are put into place to prevent data from being captured, shared and edited. A few are, pass codes and thumbprint scanning.
There are many advantages of multi-functional printers such as:
- Convenience- All- in-one
- Space Saving
- Cost Saving
- Power Saving
Food for Thought:
Do you think handheld devices benefit businesses?
