[email protected] Editorial Dear readers, This year’s first issue of our technology magazine “tomorrow” is focused on “agility.” But what does “agility” really mean? When search ing for a definition you’ll soon find synonyms such as “nimbleness” or related words like “flexibility.” Are these correct definitions? Agility, no doubt, re quires a high level of nimbleness and flexibility.
