Trusting An Impatient

Change, modify, upgrade, update, fresh, new... These words have always been the success factors in socio-technological domains. Be it social networking websites or e-commerce. There are zillions of examples to verify above statement.

Similarly there is an upcoming change in techies trying to make an early shift from a technical domain to management roles. Also, universities worldwide are coming up different courses to fill this need of the younger lot. In a psychological view this can be seen as a part of new rise of impatience. From quick loading of a webpage or an online video, younger lot is now habituated for quick responses and this impatience is now being noticed in their career.

This has also given rise to the "I am bored" mode which demands quick changes and modifications. No wonder  Farmville / Cityville was a hit because it built complete  farm / city in few seconds ( I wish we had such architects and laborers in real).

 However, what really matters here is, "Can they become good managers?" "Will they be able to handle projects?" "Will corporations trust such certified management professionals?"

Surfacing Future

Touch and it is, this is what technology is all about, nowadays. It all matters on how fast things can be carried out in less number of steps. When I did some research on human psychology towards technology, I was not amazed to find that people preferred using apps that loads quickly and needs less number of steps to carry out different functions.

Microsoft Surface 2.0 and the rising trend of touch gives us a clear view of the future on how the touch screens can be a part of corporate structure as well. It is evident that Microsoft surface 2.0 is targeted more towards retail businesses, however, this can be very beneficial for using it in companies as well. Be it HR, accountants, operations departments, managers and even the girl at reception , everyone needs a surface computer because of the ease of use.



Equipped with 4 USB ports, SD card reader slot, HDMI and corning gorilla glass makes it the perfect selection for businesses. Not to forget that it can be mounted on the wall as well that makes it  more interesting.  This will also see a change in the corporate scenario and might also be the next innovative thing after the old fashioned cubicles.

Microsoft and Samsung should work on its $12,000 (approx) tag, which is a pricey deal. Overall, it is indeed the next best thing I see towards an innovating world of technology.
