Nowadays, Computer becomes a popular tool for communication between Clients in one organization. Look back to the late 80’s, IT professionals been working so hard to learn about NetWare and IPX/SPX administration will be the first priority skill to develop and catch up with technology that time.
Today, we have been talking about TCP/IP and the Internet, where all individuals can communicate with each other by connecting to the internet by using user friendly tools.
When internet age is taking over, some of the tech skills we need to know or develop. Let’s see from the below:
1. Wireless technology

Unified communications is growing along side with the growing popularity of the VOIP. The concept of the Unified communications is to convergence of different communications technologies, such as e-mail, voicemail, text messaging, and fax.
