Michael A. Gort has written a very refreshing and "innovative" way of
viewing present high speed product release of IT advances, with its many
unintended consequences that affect many people.
What appears to be ease of use or friendliness at the front, involves
enormous complicated technology / support at the back scene. This can lead
to increasing complexity, chaos and entanglement. One day, we may have to
ask ourselves "are we 'innovating' a monster that we can't comprehend,
manage and control?"
The key drivers for all these rash seem to be "Speed" "Change" "Catch-up
don't loose out"
He further wrote :
"Rapid innovation IMO requires systems thinking."
And I think, the real key drivers behind system thinking is
"Philosophy, Principles, Theories" that can guide mankind towards 21st
century for win-win and positive synergy creativity.
The above echoes well with my article in my homepage "The Last 10 years :
How did IT change your life?"
