Technology and the Older Generation

It’s the Fourth of July, so what better way to kick off this most American of celebrations than with a short YouTube clip from Germany? You may not understand a word of it, but it should provide a chuckle.

Enjoy, and have a safe and happy Fourth.

What really happened to the dinosaurs

Every mature industry gets referred to as dinosaurs once in a while.  One of the challenges dinosaur organizations or industries sometimes have is "missing the boat" when it comes to emerging technologies.  They wait too long before starting to move, and then it is too late.  That is one of the reasons why when a radical innovation is involved, the incumbents are often not among the victors -- survival requires reinvention, which is difficult if you have to maintain one foot in the "old world" and the old business infrastructure, while managing transition.  Regardless....

A colleague from another organization shared the comic below with me recently.  Captures the basic idea well -- and it is a great comic for a Monday morning.  I could not find the original online image by the artist.

What's wrong with my technology???

Well, things have been a bit busy lately. I have dozens of items awaiting write-up for posting, and certainly there is no shortage of news happening in this space lately. I hope to be back to a more regular posting pattern in the very near future.

In the interim, a colleague shared this video with me over the weekend, and I thought it would be a good way to start out a Monday morning for everyone. British humor applied to technology -- what could be better?
