Our Current State Of Technology
As a Business Technology Consultant and Web Developer, I am constantly reminded of the pace of constant motion in the field. At times, it seems to leap forward. Sometimes it seems to move in a more orderly fashion. Yet no matter when you look at it, Technology is constantly moving forward.
Consider that computer processor speeds double every 2 1/2 years. A theory offered by Intel's founder over 20 years ago that still holds true today. No matter what you buy today, it is guaranteed to be outdated in a couple of years. No matter what! This fact alone makes planning your technology investments even more critical than other business decisions. Otherwise you can flush a ton of money on "yestertech" and not get to where you intended to go.
Beyond the hype of the marketing campaigns, which have been carefully crafted to suck you into believing you need the latest and greatest gadgets, is a much more crucial decision making process that will drive your ultimate investment decisions. Asking "how will it work for me" can save you a ton of money in the coming years. Each business is different. That's the beauty of operating in a capitalist economy. Owners are free to express their individualism and shape the businesses in a myriad of different ways.
But, this also creates a Technology conundrum; how can an off-the-shelf solution fit everyone? It can't, and never will! This is where a competent Technology Consultant can play a very crucial role. Unlike an individual business owner who may be lost in the forest of his own growing empire, the Consultant gets to see many different Businesses and Technologies, then evaluate them against each other. This unique insight allows judgments about things like "suitability for use" to be made using trends and vastly broader experiences across several industries. This can help save you from making huge capital investment missteps with potentially disastrous results.
No matter where in the galaxy you are located, Technology continues to march forward. Looking back, it is hard to even remember how it used to be.
But as we look to the future, it's also hard to imagine where it will lead us. In the meantime, we must balance what we know with where we see our fields going to find a reasonable balance in our Businesses today.
Making the right business choices in terms of investments in technology, is a daunting task for most. A necessary evil for some, a chance to gain a competitive advantage for others.
