The Changing Face of Small Business

Yesterday, we posted a blog outlining must-have electronic devices.  As technology advances, however, some items that small business owners used to find essential are becoming or have already become obsolete.  Take a look at some of the items that small business owners are getting rid of, that at one point, they couldn’t live without.

Cash Register

“Thanks to a host of new applications, businesses can process credit cards without using dedicated wireless devices or clunky terminals, which can cost anywhere from $200 to $2,000. All you need is your cell phone,” as stated in the inc.com article, “Say Goodbye to the Cash Register.”

Desktop Computer

Desktop computers used to be a staple in any small business, but now they are being replaced by laptops, iPads and even smartphones.

Land Line

With plans that offer unlimited nationwide calling and internet access for less than $100, land lines are becoming less and less necessary for small business owners as well as the general public.
