As the post PC-era continues to settle in, everyday it becomes more evident; how user work, how we access data, what applications we use and the devices we use to do so, is changing.

User types are becoming more clearly apparent such as tethered users; user who work in a traditional office space daily with an assigned location and users who increasingly are becoming more mobile.
