Using Mobile Tech to Manage Your Family







There is no single best way to use your smartphone or tablet to manage your family. All of us work in a different way and have different needs. As you look for ways to get a handle on it all, do not give up if one app or method doesn’t work for you. There are countless ways to gain more control over your daily schedule. You will also need to give yourself time to re-learn the way you handle everything, and develop new mobile habits.

One suggestion to get started  is to use a shared calendar. You can use the calendar in Outlook.com, Google, Yahoo or one of the many other online scheduling services. You can create a single calendar for your entire family or you can have multiple calendars and combine them all on one color-coded master schedule.  
 
If you prefer using an organizing and scheduling app that can do more than just keep a calendar-like hold family photos, important files , and other information-then AboutOne and Cozi are two of the more popular choices.

Virtual Tour of the Verizon Innovation Center

 

Verizon established its Innovation Program to encourage the growth and development of the 4G LTE ecosystem and to uncover ways to wirelessly connect just about anything. 

Verizon’s Innovation Program now has more than 200 participants and, to date, more than 30 products on the market, ranging from digital jukeboxes and telepresence robots to routers and gateways embedded with 4G LTE connectivity. The recently-introduced Verizon 4G LTE Router is one of the first solutions from the Innovation Program to be sold in Verizon Wireless stores. Much of the work is concentrated at the Verizon Innovation Center in Waltham, Mass. In addition to providing opportunities to demonstrate and showcase solutions, the Center is also home to working labs, where engineers from Verizon and participant companies work side-by-side to develop, test and refine solutions. 

Nearing the two-year anniversary of its official opening in July 2011, Verizon’s Innovation Center in Massachusetts has hosted hundreds of customers, prospective collaborators, and companies both large and small, who have seen the kinds of solutions that are possible. The Center in Waltham has also won prestigious awards, including being named a World Class Center by the Association of Briefing Program Managers and receiving LEED Gold certification.
