Submitted by trifecta-admin on Tue, 04/11/2017 - 01:28

At this point, thousands of new drones are being registered with the FAA each week in the United States. That translates into a lot of activity, much of it recreational, but an increasing amount of it is related to business initiatives.

This is no surprise because industry innovations have been fueling a trend toward commercial drone ventures for several years now. All of this activity has played out on scales as small as one individual all the way up to Fortune 500 companies.

This time of year, the people of Lexington rally around UK basketball as the team prepares for competition in the SEC tournament and then the NCAA tournament. March is an exciting month, one that brings our wonderful community even closer during the big games.

Too often, however, the madness we see on the basketball court rears its ugly head in the office, as well. And this isn't the kind of madness anyone enjoys because it involves lost data. Oh, no!

We have always been fascinated by technology. New and different ways of performing tasks are interesting, but what really puts it over the top is when tech allows us to do things we have never done before and when tech allows us to cut down the time it takes to do something we already do.

Who does not enjoy having new fun options in their life? And who could not use a little extra free time? Indeed, it is easy to see why there are always people working on the next technological innovation. It is exciting and rewarding crossing over into that next frontier.

Did you ever pass notes in school? Maybe even a Valentine's Day card to that special someone across the classroom? If so, you know the particular humiliation of having that note intercepted and either shared by harassing peers or a disapproving teacher.
