Nowadays, thanks to the web, we can be in more than one place at one time – sustaining multiple dialogues/ presence simultaneously. Much is spoken and written about “Cloud computing” – all with grave authority, as if the term can yet be clearly defined. Bonfire reflectionsListening to a radio discussion this morning, the presenter observed that the Trillion is the new Billion. This prompted me to look back at my own records. My review of Mary Jo Foley’s new book: Microsoft 2.0 – How Microsoft plans to stay relevant in the post-Gates era is published today by Computer Weekly. The web is always a soft target for politicians who don’t understand that communication is about more than broadcasting. Within the space of 24 hours the UK Prime Minister has cited the Internet first as a politically essential force for parental good and then, a few hours later without blinking, as a political force force [...] IT outsourcing/ offshoring – what does it mean to you? My response to the question: “no longer relevant” A significant proportion (c40%) of teenage boys in the UK apparently have very low levels of reading ability. A commentator on Radio 4’s Today programme attributed this poor performance to the tendency of teenage boys to develop their basic reading ability through using technology (text messaging, computer games etc.) instead of reading books. |
