In other news, my #Lyft driver's navigation tried to send them the wrong way down a 1-way street 🤷🏻‍♀️ fortunately my driver was very alert and noticed well ahead of time

We're at the point where everyday consumers are not able to assess the risk involved in using a technology product.

I don't understand why people are still trying to collaborate with emails and pptx docs. I mean, I get it, but it's not collaborative and we have excellent free tools which are collaborative (#gsuite etc). I mean Microsoft has online tools - you don't need to send out attachments anymore

Friendly tip: it’s really helpful to have #businesscards if you want to do #business in #Japan. It lends an air of legitimacy and professionalism to one’s business, and tells people that you’re serious, which is particularly important in Japan in my opinion. #dealingwithjapan #businesstips
