Streaming vs Screaming Media: USB 3.0 Tries My Patience
Preface: This is a wee bit off topic, but I haven’t ranted in a while, and you may find it worthwhile in the end.
For many months I’ve been toying with the idea of using streaming video as an alternative to some of the training and demonstration activities that haunt me in my working life. Historically, sending staff and gear to some distant location was the primary means of selling the gear, or post-sale, conducting end-user training.
In the past year one of our more experienced sales staff has found that demonstration given by remote means can be very effective. Initially this was merely his response to having limited access to my time, but it’s also become a way for him to get ad hoc demo’s accomplished on very short notice.
