It may be hard to imagine that all the players in an industry that automates large buildings have not yet made it over the digital divide, but it is true. For the purpose of my column, let me define who is online and who is not as the “digital divide.”
Last month’s column stated, “In the next few months, with the assistance of the automation industry, I am going to improve our online education with linkage to existing online education.”
Achieving this goal is useless if our complete industry is not online. The majority of the industry’s movers and shakers are online with high-speed access, but many of the industry implementers that make the concepts happen aren’t, or have equipment and/or access speeds that severely restrict their performance.
