For the first time in quite a long time I do not know where to begin. I certainly do not want to ramble on but I have a story to tell and it is making me rage inside.
It’s a story of how the UK is asleep. It’s a tale of dogma. It’s about infrastructure and investment. It’s about how and where you work. It’s about how you communicate with others. Its about the end of boundaries. Most of all it’s about the (my) belief that we can change everything and that we are changing everything. It’s about how recession is good for the economy and focusing your personal talent. It’s about having your head in the cloud(s).
I thought about telling the story but with a starting point of the Industrial Revolution and drawing on change comparisons. Consequent deliberation led me to reconsider but remember this; the Industrial Revolution changed the world from a basis of science and technology.
Fast forward to now and the computing revolution has gone through many phases of evolution and continues to do so. Not so long ago I can remember being in work and reading a magazine about Windows, I think it may have been Windows User, over a cup of coffee. One of the chaps I worked with thought the magazine related to the transition from aluminium windows to pvc. I had great pleasure in telling him to give it a few years and he would own his own PC with Windows. Roll on and Apple (other brands are available)have revolutionised the world with a smartphone that worked (previous windows incarnations just did not set the pulse racing) and a tablet computer that finally worked.
But it’s the simple web browser and SaaS based Apps that are now amongst the most formidable tools in the computing world.
