Information technology is constantly changing with bigger-faster products and solutions available for businesses to use. How will businesses adapt to the new technologies of the future? One cannot look into the future without first looking into the past. Years ago, gold was found in the western frontier of America. From that a craze was started with many people moving west into the frontier many unprepared. Fast-forward to the late 1990's, the Internet a new information frontier is rising into the conscience of the mainstream culture.
