Greetings!

Happy New Year! We hope that 2011 brings you career success and good health. 

As the economy continues to slowly come out of the recession, information technologists are again looking to the future. In this edition of InSight, we give you a snapshot of what was presented at the Consumer Electronics Show and some of the "buzz" predictions in Las Vegas. We share a counterpoint view on the "over" hype of innovation from the book Future Hype by Bob Seidensticker. In our series on health, we present some high impact tips to reduce your stress responses to the high demands of life in 2011.   

At Software Consortium, we are quickly approaching our 20th year of assisting clients in sifting through the hype to identify the right technologies, for the long term, for their business and project needs. We are well known for our "just enough" approach and focus on competency--individually and collectively. We look forward to the opportunity to help you attain greater leverage on your projects and results in 2011.
Janet Amirault

All the best,

Janet

"Future Hype"

 

Does the dizzying plethora of new technologies and products entering the marketplace have you thinking that technology is changing faster than ever?

 

A new book, Future Hype: the Myths of Technology Change by Bob Seidensticker, provides countless examples of historical context to refute this view, while identifying some prevailing tech assumptions that can lead us astray in our technology decision-making.  

 

Here are common misperceptions Seidensticker says to watch.
