A New Technology Paradigm

摘要

Let Me Start Out By Saying I hate the word "paradigm." It's sooo 1990s. Wasn't the Internet going to change the world? Oh, my ... did the earth just move? Did my chair shake? Nah, it was just a bunch of hyped up folks trying to sell me stuff. On the other hand, where would we be without the Internet? The Internet spawned Google; it created self-service computing, where anyone can find or buy just about anything at any time; and it exploded business models, including media, travel, and more brick-and-mortar stores than anyone can count. So you certainly have to acknowledge (even if you hate the word, too) that the Internet really changed the computing "paradigm."
