I think this is a really good question ... and one I feel lucky to have had an answer to. I started a book-packaging company in 1992 (pre-Internet, really) and learned all the pains of managing my IT when I didn’t know anything. When Wikipedia blew up our business model, I went to work for a cybersecurity and privacy company, and my work there gave me a front row seat to the cloud services revolution--which helped me set up my wife’s freelance business with a stable, secure infrastructure. I use that infrastructure now. Basically, I think we’ve got it easy today, thanks to the availability of a range of full-service cloud offerings. As long as you’ve got stable, fast Internet, you’re in business.

I feel lucky too to be mostly working in a time of great Wifi! Not to mention the internet...
