Doing my HomeWork
Where as, in the years 1988-99, I babbled on about the wonders of IT, and watched in horror as even my close friends' eyes glazed over; in a mere 3 weeks I have convinced two of my phone friends to start their own blogs.These modern day wonders of IT are not going away. I remember when channels were saved in a .cdf file in c. Now look where it has progressed to:
SGML, VRML, DTD, HTML, XML, OPML, PHP, DOM, Ruby, Monty Python?
These apps aren't just another fancy 'must have' ornament that one bandies about to impress ones' friends. Oh, no.
1984 was the personal ads hay-day and the very obscure BBS. 1989 saw 9600bps and the birth of on-line dating. Hook up in TTL. Dismal.
The Key here is IT. The way in which human beings communicate. They want to communicate. Human beings want better ways to communicate. Globally!
The challenge for IT, in the days ahead, can be summed up in one simple word: RELEVANCE.
As far as my homework is concerned--- 14" of snow in the dooryard 2 shovel before breakfast... and still nobody likes me!
