One of the hardest things for a business to do is to keep up on is new emergent technologies and current tech trends. Successful businesses have inertia when it comes to technology, they want to keep going in the direction they currently are the more successful they are the more they will commit to existing practices.

Not every new trend is right for every business and not every success should rest on their laurels.
