It’s the End of an Era

In this digital era, mobility is evolving at a breakneck pace.

The new technology rules instruct in a way society to adapt to the new digital reality. This also reflects on the electronic devices people use on their daily routine. So, portability becomes the new normal.

As desktops started to fade away, laptops took over the world and became the trusty hard workers of the modern way of living.

Portability Is the New Black

According to Nature.com, "To share is human".

Humans have been sharing stories from ancient times to today's digital world.

Content Marketing is just a new medium that helps people to keep telling more stories than ever.

Content Marketing spreads valuable information, educates, persuades and attracts traffic to your content. It also stimulates desire, maintains credibility, and results in sales.

Last week, Csaba Ban, hosted another great BP Conference. This year's translation conference was planned to take place in Nuremberg, Germany, but due to the pandemic of Covid-19, the skilful and resourceful host succeeded in organising the entire event online on the Zoom platform. A great experience and pretty challenging, I would say, and it turned out a huge success as any other BP Conference.

It's a fact that online shopping is one of the most popular online activities around the globe.

The spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) is the most serious global health security threat in decades. My heart and thoughts go out to all who have been affected by this outbreak. I'm so grateful to the thousands of healthcare workers and other professionals and volunteers who are on the front lines helping their communities and the world.

Across the globe, due to the spread of the new virus, Coronavirus (COVID-19), at least 200 conferences have been cancelled or postponed so far.
