Oct 9th article in Computerworld outlines Gartner’s attitude to old people in IT: we don’t know s**t about IT and apparently we need twenty-something whippersnappers to tell us about new technologies, while we drive our old fuddy ‘sedans’ and see to our ‘mid life crises’ or our companies will go belly up.
Wow! I’m sure those whippersnappers will be doing us all a favor by replacing our mainframes with a trillion records with windows systems where individual files have a 2 gig size limit. Who cares about SSN records or the corporate data store when you can IM each other all day?
Seems they have ‘culture’ which will save us all! Balding baby-hating Jean Luc needs to be replaced with alien-womanizing Captn Kirk (or the 20 year old equivalent 🙂
With twenty seconds left, I guess we all WILL die.
