New Technology
Working in the Internet or new technology industries (that in many cases go along) demands a lot of efforts and knowledge. In general, when say 'Internet' we actually need to precise the exact sub-category we are talking about: website creation and development, website design, social media, e-commerce...

If your career is linked to Web or IT company you need to be aware of everything happening around your company, even not directly impacting it. All topics are related to each other on the web. And success in a job is always equal to your knowledge and experience.

While experience comes with time, you need to work on your knowledge by yourself.

Even if you're working in a company with a specific product, e.g. website selling mobile phones online, you need to know so much more not directly related to your product and job, like:

• how to be ranked by search engines to come up on the first page of results; 
• how to promote your website on social media website; 
• what new trends are there is tablet market - almost mobile phone rival; 
• how to develop an app for iPhone, Android and Microsoft Mobile for your online shop; 
• what e-payment system to choose and why; 
• and so on...

On top of that the industry itself is evolving so quickly that we sometimes cannot follow it.

Main topics covered by Internet and Tech magazines 
To have an idea of what you need to know to succeed in your career in IT world, let us look at the main topics covered by Techcrunch or Mashable: the biggest website about Internet and technology:

• Social Media: Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube

The real difference between the rich and the poor is that the rich spend a larger share of their income on savings (pensions and insurance) and education.
