What major network trends of the 2010s affected organizations and consumers?

BYOD, online collaboration, video communications, and cloud computing.

• Bring Your Own Device (BYOD): Users bring personal devices to work
• Online collaboration: Tools like Cisco WebEx for working together remotely
• Video communications: Video conferencing becoming critical for collaboration
• Cloud computing: Storing data and running applications on remote servers

The role of the network must adjust and continually transform to keep up with new technologies and end user devices.
