Oh No, Technology Is Going To Steal Your Job... Again







Oh No, Technology Is Going To Steal Your
Job... Again

Oh No, Technology Is Going To Steal Your
Job... Again
06/25/2004 12:11 PM

This is getting a bit tiresome, but it looks like now that people are finally starting to calm down about offshoring, they're suddenly up in arms about automation. First there was the complaint a few months ago saying we should stop working on certain technologies in order to save jobs. Now, Strategy Analytics, an analyst firm that should know better than to put out overhyped reports that don't understand history is saying that offshoring is nothing compared to how automation will kill mid-level service jobs. Once again, all you need to do is look at history to show this is wrong. Every time automation removes the need for certain jobs, it's opened up many more opportunities, often expanding the overall economy and raising our standards of living. It wasn't that long ago that you needed a human operator to connect every phone call. However, once we figured out how to automate that process, it didn't necessarily mean a destruction of all those operator jobs, but a new revolution in telephony which expanded so many businesses and created so many new jobs that no one could have imagined when the "operator" process was first automated. It's getting repetitive to say it, but innovation is not a zero-sum game. Automating a job doesn't just mean that the jobs go away, but that many more new opportunities open up.

imageZDNetUK has a story about one analyst's quest for relevancy as he warns companies of the gaping, oozing security risk that is the iPod. The idea, according to the yapping Gartner groupie, is that the iPod and other portable devices could be used to introduce viruses or -- hold on to your hat, or anyone's hat; just get one in your hand -- copy data. How is your hat? Okay, great. Mine, too.

I remember the last scourge of data security we had like this. What was it called again? Oh, the floppy disk, right. I'm sure the network administrators are quaking in their Tevas.

There no better news than hearing there's a new release from the Kleptones.

I haven't heard it yet, but just started the torrent downloading.

Update: It took hours to come down via BT (bittrickle). I've only gotten through three tracks, but it's amazing so far, tons of classic samples. And Andy's on it for a fast direct download. Highly recommended bit of illegal art.

Will Intel Steal the Show?


Will Intel Steal the Show? 03/08/2004 11:15 PM
Intel's moves in the Wi-Fi market may squeeze out other players in the market, including access point makers: Intel is moving toward building chips that can allow a laptop to serve as an AP. Some say if that becomes standard gear in laptops, it may threaten the vendors that make standalone access points. I have to agree with some of the comments in this story that while in some cases it is convenient for a laptop to serve as an AP, at other times it isn't. I would prefer a standalone AP in my house because otherwise I'd have to keep my laptop running all the time. I suspect that laptops with built-in APs will appeal to a certain market but it won't kill the market for standalone APs. Intel could also give TiVo a run for its money as it develops chips for entertainment PCs. TiVo is apparently working to make its product cheaper and easier to use in anticipation for the competition....

While no arrests have been made—in fact, it's all speculation!—there's an important lesson we can learn from all of this: pay for everything by trading bales of home-spun quilts.

The web is full of sites created by enthusiastic amateurs. Some become proficient, others just hack away happily. Then there are the sites created professionally for small to medium sized businesses.

Nothing wrong with that - except that the web design companies they sign up with steal their content and they don't know.
