About ARC MONDIAL

ARC MONDIAL portal is focusing on technology, work and lifestyle discussion and analysis. The spirit behind the development of this website is that those three: technology, work and lifestyle, are intertwined in today’s realm.

We share articles on the global technology trends, future of works and how lifestyle is both affected by and affecting the former two. Most of the articles are our own, while some are the summary of global technology events presentations.

We are also doing reviews on new technologies and devices, giving talks in seminars/ workshops, and – partnering with TaboraARGA – doing consultancy services for corporation in transforming their businesses.

A couple weeks ago, a friend of mine invited my wife and I to a launching event in another city, for a College that specializes in training leaders. We were very excited about the invitation. Events like this are good opportunities to grow in relationship with friends, and to us this was an opportunity to find out if this new College, would be a good opportunity to increase our vision.
