Is Your Cordless Phone Being Hacked?

If you still have a landline in your home, then you likely also have a cordless phone connected to it because, let's face it, no one likes tripping over phone cords.

Have you ever wondered if it's possible for someone to eavesdrop on your cordless phone conversations? Accidental eavesdropping due to crossed connections was a fairly common occurrence back in the analog cordless phone era, but what about the newer digital cordless phones on the market?

In this week's featured article, we attempt to answer the question: How secure is your cordless phone? The answer might surprise you.

Are certifications outdated? That's the conclusion from an analyst who studies the industry. An article on the tech job search site Dice.com quotes David Foote as saying the following:

"We've reached a point in our evolutionary rung that has outdistanced the value of certifications," says David Foote, chief executive and chief research officer for Foote Partners. "It is not that technology is not important, but other skills - especially in customer-facing jobs - are more important."

Although I disagree with the thrust of that quote -- in fact, there are several other folks quoted in the story who affirm the value of certifications -- Foote does make a valuable point. Soft skills, like communication, are becoming increasingly important.

Knowing how to write clear, concise emails, for example, can go a long way toward helping your career. Talking to non-tech-savvy folks in a way that doesn't make them feel stupid is another way. Sending out plenty of warning -- at least two emails -- before making a major computer system change that will affect the way your end-users go about doing their jobs is another.

Do you get my point here? Knowing the technology is only half the battle. You have to remember the other people in your organization, and make things as easy for them as possible with good communication. You might be surprised -- it could be those skills, not your wizardy with Group Policy -- that gets you that promotion and raise.

While the economy seems to be slowly recovering, many companies are still fighting layoffs and have been forced to cut holiday bonus spending.

With so many belts tightening, a lot of IT professionals who would have retired at the end of this year have decided to stay in the workforce and rebuild lost savings. But mature tech pros need to make sure they stay relevant in the ever changing IT environment. Don't get left behind if you choose to delay your IT retirement.
