The Killing IT Podcast


IT authors and entrepreneurs Ryan Morris, Karl Palachuk, and Dave Sobel provide commentary on the changing world of technology opportunities and emerging tech.

We want to expand the discussion from the SMB IT channel to all things tech - with one eye on the future and the other on profits. Join us!

May 28, 2020

Recorded LIVE at the SMB Online Conference!

(Conference attendees can see and listen to all four topics in the Conference downloads area.)


Topic 1: Where do we stand on burrito delivery?

Update on our year-old bet: Will your pizza (or burrito) be delivered first by flying drone or driverless car/robot?

Well, that driverless car might have lots of fees attached (see New York Times).

And of course industry news is hard to separate from "pandemic" news right now, but workforce slowdowns will affect the pace of technology adoption.
