The Tech Yield Curve Inversion
We hear a great deal today about the "yield curve inversion"... and yes, it is a big deal! Why the yield curve inverting is such a "big deal" is the fact that historically (well, just since the end of the Civil War to present day, according to researchers), this occurrence has signaled that a recession was at hand. However, since the "dismal science" of economics is not exactly known for the precision and exactness over time, there is a debate ongoing as to whether this time, the inverting of the yield curve will be different, and not mark the end of the decade-long economic expansion.

6 Ways Digitisation Has Shaped the Future of the Housing Industry
In our technologically advanced world, it is perhaps inevitable that a “smart house” is joining the ranks of “smartphones,” and “smart cars.” True to its name, a “smart house” is a house that has been technologically optimized.

Part 2: Today, the Equation Is Simple—Faster Internet Access Equals Greater Economic Opportunity!
In the first article in this series, "Part 1: Today, the Equation is Simple - Faster Internet Access Equals Greater Economic Opportunity," we looked at just how much the world or work—and our lives—has changed over the past decade or so. We saw how that "third place" that Howard Schultz envisioned has become oh so necessary in the way we get things done in the modern world. This is as people—following the classical "invisible hand" of economics have come to frequent—and in many, many cases to rely upon public spaces for their ability to consistently be able to access the internet at reasonably high speeds. The way we live, the way we communicate, and yes, the way we "work"—by whatever definition you choose to apply to that term—has become dependent on good and stable wifi! And so that is why we see so many folks huddled over a laptop and some papers at your local Starbucks, your local coffee house, or the McDonald's on the corner.
