The times, they are a-changing, and this time it is
international technology leader Hewlett-Packard Company saying goodbye. I got an e-mail October 1 with the formal
notice of the company’s venture into two separate companies and a copy of the
press release from 10-1-14 announcing the change.

business. Significant steps in mobility, big data, the cloud, and security have
been discussed and analyzed over the past year. The result is an opportunity

HP Inc. concentrates on personal systems and printing. One
of the most exciting features is 3-D printing. A digital file and successive layers
of additives make it possible to build three dimensional working replicas of
small items. It’s an opportunity for consumers to have fun and be creative.
Future updates on technological innovation will still drop
into my inbox on occasion. It’s a great source for staying in touch with the
exciting world of technology.

While I have no stock or vested interest in HP, I love their
printers, computers, and customer support. It’s going to be interesting to
watch HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise grow.
I had no idea of this. All my printers are HP and they are also my preferred desktop. This is good info to have as I negotiate my next purchase!

ReplyDeleteI love HP, I am a long time customer and love that you were able to visit!
ReplyDeleteI don't think this will have much of an impact on my or my personal life but I do wish the company luck in their new venture. HP has been such a big part of America's tech life for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI'm a HP girls for sure, so it's nice to see them expanding. Thanks for the info on the growth of this company
ReplyDeleteWow, I really didn't know too much about the actual company behind HP. We have always had an HP computer in our home, I remember learning how to type on it as a teenager.
