Both Segments: Scott Schober, Correspondent/Author of Hacked Again!

Cyberwarfare has become a very real part of our business, our government, our technology and our culture. We’ve seen terms like hacking, cyber-security and DDoS explode into our popular vernacular and for good reason. Real cyber-attacks have increased exponentially in the past 12 months and the growing fear of them has gone off the charts. Still, many of us do not incorporate simple, best practices when it comes to things like creating passwords and engaging with social media.

Impactful museum exhibitions are like unforgettable music albums.  Those music albums are not just a random collection of songs haphazardly put together, but rather, there is a narrative being shared by the musical artist, utilizing the gift of sound.  Brilliant artists, along with gifted curators, also create a compelling story through the actual artworks as well as the placement and juxtaposition of those masterpieces.  In the past, we could only experience this by physically visiting a specific museum in a particular part of the world during a brief period of time.
