Interactive musings from a creative technophile
Google comments on economic troubles…
So, Google CEO, Eric Schmidt has some words to announce and is summed up in this eWeek article.
What I find fascinating as we all try to deal with the current economic situation is how different people react. So much of the problems are fundamental failings of the system, but it’s amazing how much of it is fueled by our collective attitudes about it.
You can’t be Pollyanna and pretend there’s no problem, but what a lot of folks don’t realize is that our reaction to dealing with the problems can correct them. We’ll shift our consumer focus and technology will continue to offer new opportunities for growth.
Especially encouraging is the continued emergence of mobile devices as our new personal center of computing. As we move away from desktops, our new, and only slightly more powerful handheld computers will harness the power of the cloud for storage and processing. All the pieces are in place and the weak points (like battery life, transmission speeds and security) are improving rapidly.
As with any paradigm shift, there will be winners and some losers (though history shows us the only real losers are those who fail to adapt) but in the move there is opportunity!
Exciting stuff… and yes, I’m an optimist at heart (under a light, candy shell of cynicism) but I’m no Pollyanna. Tough times confront us- but that only means you have to work harder to reap the rewards.
