As a business transformation, technology and customer experience consultant who has been around for about 9 years now with the big blue (IBM), I kind of have my personal opinion about how technology is changing our daily life, from the moment we wake up till we go back to sleep.
Do I like it? Hell yeah, we can do wonders now that we wouldn't even dream of doing in the year 2000, when light and laser shows were big hits! I can get hold of almost any album by a click on a glass panel that i can clip it to my shirt (a mini iPod) while in 1995 Sony waterproof walkman was a state-of-the-art invention :)
On the down side, it definitely has a negative impact on our lives, we are more dependant and tracked. In my humble opinion, we are today as close as we can get to Orwell's big brother and at the same time subject to the risk of new threats - like hacking into a service provider's databases and stealing your credit card details.
This blog entries related to this part of the blog is a brain dump, random thought of me watching and analysing the ups and downs in how technology changes our lives and how companies can tap into these changes and leverage it to make some more money...
As usual, I have to clearly state that this blog represents my personal opinions ONLY and have no relationship whatsoever, and doesn't represent in any shape or form, the opinions or views of my company, IBM.
Now that we've got this out of the system, lets roll....
