The inexhaustible Mark Safranski at ZenPundit compiles a prognostic post "SHORT TERM FUTURISM: ALL CONNECTED, ALL THE TIME" that touches on the ramifications to society on the impact of technology.
The brilliant Wharton link offered by Mark is superbly written:
"Something fundamentally big is happening that will profoundly affect the life of every person and every business over the next five to 15 years -- the collapsing of everything into one single, global, ubiquitous, collaborative virtual IT world."
The biggest challenge? Security, say half of the corporate chief information officers in the U.S.
Just as the Internet burst onto the scene about ten years ago - the upcoming changes will be even quicker and more tumultuous affecting cultures and lives. The comment about security strikes me as even more prophetic than the Information Security context in which it was given. I read security as a broader sense of personal trust - from personal transactions to our political perspectives to our confidence in our own worth and wage earning abilities.
