Greetings!

Happy New Year. 2012 looks to be an interesting year. I hope it is Happy, Healthy and Prosperous for you.

 Dental High Tech Predictions for 2012

 

PredictionsI am submitting predictions for 2012 that I expect to be 100% wrong.

 

Knowing these predictions will never come to pass makes them not really predictions but more like hopes or ideals. Like ending the scourge of periodontal disease or peace on earth, we'd all like to see these things happen in 2012 but know they never will.

  1. Practice Management Software is made interoperable.
  2. Digital replaces film.
  3. Digital impressions become main stream.
  4. E-Services are used to improve service and reduce costs.
  5. Dentists all get web pages.
  6. Insurance companies pay online; instantly!

Seriously, it could happen.

Password Security
 

PasswordHow about making a resolution to improve your password security for 2012? The web site How Secure Is My Password?. can help. You can enter a password or potential password and the site evaluates it for you.

 

I typed in several. For some I was informed that my password was so common it could be hacked in seconds. Others were better and would take a hacker three or four days to break. The problem is that supposedly the best passwords contain upper and lower case, symbols and numbers. Very secure and impossible to remember.

 

For more including a great tip on creating very secure passwords you can remember click here:

Blog

The Emmott on Technology Blog is here. The blog is like a free online newsletter. I add to it many times each week. The topics include general technology news, dental specific news and information and lots of fun and good humor. I am now including interesting links to the "health care" debate as it will have such a profound effect on our future.

Blog topics are not just for dentists but can be very valuable to the people and the businesses that support dentists.
