It's hard to create a time in our busy schedule...,we can't keep on looking up for the open source websites like Github.

One easiest way is joining the groups on Facebook ,Linkedin ,twitter or any other.In that website ,Some or the other specialist will be posting the news along with the Beta version and Whitepapers..

Its hard to keep up with everything that changes in technology. The best practice what i believe is to understand the current and future needs and according to that focus on the companies, R&D Labs and whitepapers and of course social media like Facebook, YouTube. These will help you keep up to date with the technology.

In my opinion any IT professional should always read articles and public releases, at least one time per week.  If he noticed any new technology that he may need, or interested in, he should investigate about it more, and train himself to get familiar with it. He should attend IT conferences if available, and training classes to obtain certificates.

Technology keeps on changing; there is no helping it.

The only thing you can do is, stick on to a technology stream and learn what is important through video tutorials from CBT, Lynda, Train Signal etc.

Also, prepare for certifications as well to give you confidence on that technology.

Technology is inescapable. It pervades every facet of our life. From how we work, play and live our lives, technology has created a revolution that will grow for as long as humans continue to advance in their capabilities.

As the days, months and years go by, technology just gets better and better. What was once the latest and greatest yesterday, is old hat today. The bottom line is, technology doesn’t wait for you and if your organization isn’t keeping up with it, you will surely be left in the dust by one of your competitors.

Most articles you read about that discuss the importance of remaining current with technology will merely give you suggestions about how to keep up, this article will discuss what will happen if you don’t.

Fall behind:

Most people are on the internet nowadays. They access the web through their PCs, laptops, tablets and mobile devices. Most of us have a Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, LinkedIn and some even have a website. There are over three billion people on the internet today; as an organization, it’s important to remain current on technology or face closing shop. With as many people on the internet today, with more and more coming online every day, keeping ahead of technology is a necessity if your organization anticipates long term stability and growth.

 

Missed Opportunities:

If your company has not invested in the proper technology, there is a chance it may have missed opportunities to connect and interact with its customers. Technology has allowed people and businesses to communicate with each other on multiple levels. Be it through email, text, instant message, and social media, there are many forums with which to communicate a message to client. If an organization is not keeping up with technology to stay in front of its clients, then it will continue to miss many more opportunities to close a sale.

Obscurity:

Technology will continue to advance and customers will find new and exciting ways to use it. If an organization continues to resist progress and decides not to keep up with technology, they are likely to fade away into obscurity.
