Conclusions
BYOD Will Continue to Expand
BYOD is good for education and business alike. The drive towards software that is compatible across platforms like Microsoft Office has been for some time, between PC's and Macs, or the use of software that is independent of platform like Google Docs makes BYOD easy to implement.
Anyone who uses multiple devices has seen the push in recent history to make the user experience seamless between devices and files compatible across platforms.
Where are we headed with BYOD? Rapid Expansion!
