This is your host, Denise Boomer and Dr. Bee Boomer, welcoming you to this weeks edition of the Baby Boomer Technology on PodcastForBoomers.com.

This week we are talking about Hotels and Technology.

Hotels realize that in today's technocentric world, they need to meet the technology needs of its guests. And it must meet those needs in ways that are easy to use.

Sheraton has partnered with Microsoft to create the "Link@Sheraton" lounges. these lounges are in the lobby and equipped with public computers so you can check your email, print boarding passes and record video greeting to send to family and friends.

Other hotel groups have similar partnerships with technology companies. This can be a win-win for both. The hotel can show off the new and easy to use technology and the technology company can show off and test its newest offerings.

But computer lounges are not the only new technology offerings. Some hotels are testing home automation in their rooms. You can control the temperature, lights , blinds, TV and other items from a simple console.

The secret is to make it easy to use. If it is not easy the guests will not use it. But if it works the hotels brand is improved.

Thanks for listening.
