Pacific News Bytes is a quarterly technology magazine targeting businesses and consumers in Hawaii and the Pacific Rim.
Not just for geeks anymore, technology has become a part of daily life. From game players to Wall Street movers and shakers, technology touches everyone in one form or another. Consumers are not only becoming technologically smarter; but technology itself is becoming smarter by making its end products more user-friendly. At work, at home, and at play, we are all more technologically proficient through our everyday use of cell phones, entertainment units, home computers and the Internet. At Technology News Bytes, we call it “lifestyle technology.” Whether we are shopping, going on a trip, or just staying at home listening to music, technology has changed how we do all of these things. This change is reflected in our readership profile.
Our audience is broad, mature, educated, and are well-versed and interested in technology. They are businesspeople as well as homemakers involved in everything from conference calls to recreation.
