While I didn't create the term Posh Technology nor does it have anything to do with the Posh Technology website (which is about maternity items), I'd like to talk about posh technology. The perception of IT professional is changing from the short sleeve white collar shirts with black ties (think Geek Squad) and creepy nocturnal computer programmers. Those people still exist and by no means should we ignore them; they do drive the field and are often some of the smartest people around.
There's a new set of IT professionals out there that are professional in appearance and manner who want fancy IT accessories. It seems the average person needs less accessories these days. For example, your scanner, printer, fax, copier are all one device. You don't need many external hard drives with online backups. I only advise people to have 1 USB drive (and to encrypt it!!!), maybe two if you travel a lot.
So what is posh technology? Superior technology accessories! IOmega makes a leather bound usb hard drive. Pretty much anything Apple makes is posh. An Apple wireless router looks much better than a Netgear. You can use an Apple monitor with Windows as well.
In The Devil Wears Prada, the two secretaries had iMacs with wireless keyboards. They put them away in a drawer upon leaving. Very clean look. I recommend this to offices that want to complement their contemporary style (which is popular in NYC offices).
Of course, this will cost you more money...
