Technology Assignment

When trying to think of a technology that will change professional communication in the future, the first program I thought of was "DOMO".  DOMO is not necessarily the newest technology, however, it is extremely underutilized. I worked with a company that used DOMO and I realized in that job, this could change businesses.  In my own words, DOMO is the social media of a business.

It feels like yesterday I was babysitting you, chasing you around in circles, begging you to get ready for bed before your mom got home. Now, you are about to begin a key step in your life.
