This morning I was reading the news, and I found this amazing article, about a procedure that may be able to restore sight for the blind.

It’s not what you might think.  No, no highly sophisticated transplants — unless you consider computer stuff a transplant: “electrodes surgically implanted in her eye, a camera on the bridge of her nose and a video processor strapped to her waist.”

Amazing, isn’t it, that our computer technology would give a blind person the ability to see again?

This demonstrates how important it is to be on the cutting edge in your industry, especially in technology based industries.  We all know how quickly the computers on the market change and improve.  Well, the same goes for, say, hearing aids: If your business offers audiologist services, you need to be certain you are always on top of your game, so that you develop a reputation for offering the latest and the greatest.

This can be difficult in certain industries — buying a new computer every year is one thing, but many people find it more difficult to stomach buying new hearing aids in order to keep up with the most recent advances in technology.  But it’s also difficult to attract customers if your products are outdated and not in demand.  Besides, by offering the newest products you demonstrate that you make it your business to keep up on the latest news in your industry, which instills trust in customers by reassuring them that they don’t have to go anywhere else to ensure they get the newest and best technology!
