One of the biggest challenges during Coronavirus is keeping my children happy and grounded. I recently told them about a real-life Bubble Boy, who faces a lifetime of permanent social distancing. They understand that it can always be worse; their positive attitude is a source of inspiration for me.

Hear Ron Gerber discuss issues about government stimulus, the growing importance of technology in our lives, plus how he is coping with the coronavirus forced shutdown of Angelbeat's live event business.

After just a few days of social distancing, I never realized just how much my family and I need our dog Scout.

IT Vendors and End User Professionals who speak and attend Angelbeat live events often work at home, even before Coronavirus. Remember to share your expertise with friends, family and colleagues outside of IT, who previously worked in a "traditional" office environment but now must immediately adopt this home-based approach. Beyond discussions on topics such as secure remote access software and digital collaboration tools, talk about non-tech issues such as: - Importance of maintaining structure and following the same work hours/schedule - Break time to clear your head and walk around your house, so you are not sitting for hours straight

Good news from China and Korea. First, China reported a single (yes, just one) new Coronavirus case today. Second, my best friend from grad school runs a manufacturing firm that makes equipment for the semiconductor industry, with its main operations in China and Korea. All of their plants in these two cities are operating "normally". So the Draconian measures around social distancing work in Asia, and I am increasingly confident that they work in Europe, North America and the rest of the world.

Angelbeat CEO Ron Gerber reflects on 25+ years in technology, including the reason behind IBM's decision to call its AI platform Watson (hint: it has nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes).
