Technology touches people's lives virtually every second of the day. The work world is especially rich with changing technologies, new innovations, and continually revised processes for greater effectiveness and efficiency. One could easily say that a boiler is a boiler, or a carpet is a carpet, but the reality is that all components of all the systems one uses in educational facilities are constantly being modified, improved, and upgraded--hopefully for the better. This journal generally avoids referring to specific companies, products, or services. However, in this issue on technology, the authors are naming names and sharing valuable case studies on a few products and companies that have done interesting work with colleges, universities, and schools.
