Just a quick
note and observation about the global economic revolution that is underway.
EDS put out
a great video a few years back illustrating that replacing an existing IT
system used in day-to-day business operations by an enterprise is like
rebuilding an airplane while it is in-flight.
Take a look at this 'Airplane'
video that is posted on YouTube.
After watching the video, think
about how much more complicated it is replacing a country's economy as we
continue the process of transitioning from the Industrial Age to the
Information Age. Thousands of companies
and whole industries are being replaced on the fly.
This is not a
simple set of problems and issues that
are being addressed. Expecting a 'quick fix' from any politician or
political party is ridiculous. We're all in this together and it's going to
take a lot of time, effort, and resources to complete the transition into a 21st
century Information Age economy.
How
long do you think it will take the U.S. to complete the transition? 1 year? 5
years? More than 10 years?
