Jay Leask – 00:22 – Good morning. Today is March 3rd, 2018. I am Jay Leask, and this is the SPeed Of Technology.

Craig Jahnke – 00:29 – Hey, this is Craig Jahnke. I’m here with Jay, On the SPOT Podcast where we talk about technology, random things and how you might want to get started moving into technology and some concerns going around.

Jay Leask – 00:44 – Oh, speaking of random things, did you see the article we posted yesterday?

Craig Jahnke – 00:48 – Yes, I think I saw it.

Jay Leask – 00:50 – There is now a pill that you can take … I’m so glad you said random things because I completely forgot I wanted to talk about this. There is now a pill that you can take that goes through your body and it connects to your phone. It shows you like the build up of gasses in your body, and you get all sorts of data around farting. How amazing is this?

Craig Jahnke – 01:13 – That is really amazing, but I’m wondering why your phone is already in your body that it could connect with it?

Jay Leask – 01:18 – No, your phone isn’t in your body. You know how technology works better than that, Craig.

Craig Jahnke – 01:23 – I’m guessing Bluetooth enabled.

Jay Leask – 01:25 – Clearly it uses a microwave connection between the pill and your phone. You have to stand at the right angle to the side.

Craig Jahnke – 01:31 – Oh okay. That is awesome, but I don’t necessarily think I want technology passing through my body if I can help it.

Jay Leask – 01:39 – That’s mostly understandable. I guess not everybody is ready for that, but I just thought it was really cool. I’ve taken enough time with that.

Craig Jahnke – 01:47 – That’s when we become borgs.

Jay Leask – 01:51 – Oh boy. All right. Craig, what are we talking about today?

Craig Jahnke – 01:54 – Today I think we’re talking about cloud readiness and taking some considerations into moving to the cloud. Some organizations I’ve heard around the globe are considering their on-premises hardware and infrastructure and putting their data centers in the cloud. It’s a new thing. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it.

Jay Leask – 02:16 – I think I might have heard a little bit about it. Just to kind of summarize,
