When was the last time you checked your e-mail? Logged into Facebook? Downloaded a song from iTunes? Watched a video on YouTube? In this generation, computers are no longer used for simple word processing or spreadsheets. Over the years computers have been equipped to work harder while we sit back and enjoy the 3D living color and sound. This 3D computing software is not only used my consumers, but also other industries, including graphics designers, oil companies, and pharmaceutical compounds. While these businesses have found 3D computing very useful, there are some businesses that still use simple character-oriented programs, which deal with simple letters and numbers, rather than graphics.
This 3D computing software includes three major components: data visualization, videoconferencing and on-demand video. Visualization helps to detect patterns and organize data in a more effective and timely manner. Companies can use this feature to keep track of inventory or even medical records. In addition to large data-set visualization, this software enables video chatting and on-demand video. Constant travel can become costly for a business. This concept of video conferencing saves money on airfare and hotels. However, videoconferencing is still rather expensive but will become more popular as it advances. Finally, on-demand video can create a more interesting website with videos rather than text.
Not all companies have adopted this new software due to the amount of updates that it requires. Bandwidth, the latest equipment and a lot of money are necessary to join this video revolution. Fortunately, the software is improving and becoming less costly. I think that regardless of all the necessary updates, this 3D computing is crucial for a company. While it has not picked up enough momentum to be essential for a company’s success, I think that almost every company will be using this software in the near future. Change is unavoidable once all the features have been perfected.

It is true that business' have started to take advantage of the new technologies our generation has presented. Most recently is the idea of 3-D computing software which in the long run is very cost effective. I think that once customers and businesses choose to jump on the 3-D band wagon, they will stay. Once the software becomes more popular among customers, the purchasing price will then decrease. The only downside I can see from this new technology is, again, the idea of personal interactions with other employees within a company if it goes further than where it is at now. Otherwise, I believe that it's smart for companies to invest in this new software.
