Mt. Dew Throwback is Back!

AndrewSmither

What does the title of this post have to do with anything ‘techy’? It’s simple, but you’ll have to read on to find out. All of us use technology at some point in our day, every day. Sometimes that technology can make us stressed. A few years ago there was an article about how there is a new type of stress, technology stress. Also, some people need a different type of glasses to read the monitor screen as it’s neither in the nearsighted or farsighted category. When that stress occurs, or when that drop of morning rush energy wears out, what does one reach for? Almost every tech I know drinks coffee, tea, energy drinks, or some high caffeinated soda (i.e. Coca-cola’s Jolt or Pepsi’s Mt. Dew) to get through and/or start their day. I personally try tea, but if available I love natural energy drinks. And now that it’s back, Mt. Dew Throwback is becoming a new favorite. I personally like Mt. Dew Throwback because it has real sugar in it. It’s the same reason I prefer natural energy drinks, like 5 hr energy, Xs, and Boost to name a few. They give you a steady flow of energy with no drop at the end. Perhaps some of us would not even need these if it wasn’t for our, stubbornness to stay up late and play video games, watch anime/cartoons, TV shows or movies, but what techy/gamer is going to stop doing that?

Here’s where you the reader comes in: Whether it’s an IT related career or just a stressful moment with day to day technology, what gets you through your day at the office or on the road? Is it a beverage that perks you up? Or maybe some music to calm you down or pump you up (my second choice)? Or maybe you just need some 5 minute breathing and stretching exercises. Feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts, you have read mine.

Technology in Construction & Manufacturing: Why It’s More Than Just Device Management

January 20, 2026

Modern construction and manufacturing sites are no longer just about heavy machinery; they’re digital ecosystems. Tablets, laptops, IoT sensors, and mobile apps are now essential for everything from blueprint access to production monitoring. These tools enable real-time collaboration, safety compliance, and operational efficiency. But when your workforce is spread across remote job sites or large facilities, keeping these systems connected and secure becomes a challenge. Construction Blueprint & Plan Access: Crews use tablets to view updated plans on-site, reducing errors and rework. Safety & Compliance Reporting: Mobile apps allow instant incident reporting and safety checks. Equipment Tracking: IoT sensors monitor heavy machinery usage and maintenance needs. Manufacturing Production Line Monitoring: Tablets and IoT devices track throughput and detect anomalies. Quality Control: Mobile devices capture and share inspection data in real time. Inventory Management: Connected devices streamline material tracking and reduce downtime. These tools keep projects moving, but only if they’re secure, updated, and accessible anywhere. Why Remote Access Is Critical Construction sites and manufacturing plants often operate in remote or rugged environments. Workers need secure, reliable access to company systems, whether they’re in the field, on the shop floor, or traveling between sites. Without proper management, connectivity issues and security gaps can lead to delays, data breaches, and compliance failures.
