The IT Skeptic's RealIT Radio

(21 minutes) Don't confuse your personal digital experience with business.  Your personal experience of the worlds of technology toys, tech bling, and personal computing do not tell us about how the world of business will change in response to technology.When we talk about the impact of technology on business can we please talk about business.
