“Technology is reshaping the world around us. How we live and how we work is changing rapidly.”

Rogers has decided to publish a video they put together shareholder meeting that was held earlier this week. Although the video is not related directly to the mobile industry it does have many interesting facts on how technology is changing out day to day lives.
