| Impacts of Trends in Information Technology |
| Hang on to your I-pod. You ain't seen nothing yet. IT is totally transforming society. Over 500 years worth of cultural and societal change will occur in one lifetime. Some of these changes and impacts are already occurring but this is only the start. Once we enable real time decision making on any device anywhere anytime, we will liberate the knowledge society for the benefit of humanity. Whilst real time decision making will substantially change the "how we do it", the changes in "what we do" are likely to be minimal because the underlying fundamental and business principles change much slower. |
