Information Technology = Invisible Technology ?
Posted by Krish Sreedharan in Technology on July 29th, 2008
Some time ago, while I was chatting around with the rest of the group, a comment from one of them set me thinking — How would I want to experience Information Technology ? Should it be loud ? Should it be subtle ? Should I know that is really happening back there when I click a button ?
Just like in my previous post about the Blind Men and the Elephant, different people have different ideas on how Technology should work for them. Some of them would like to wear it on their sleeve, where it would be visible to all, while others could not be really bothered about IT as long as their their work got done and their targets were achieved.
The world is a mixed bag where different people would like to do things differently — in their own way. Some of the users of technology, who consider themselves tech saavy, would probably want Technology to play a “visible” role in their day to day life. However, there are others to whom technology is more a support service and such people, would normally want technology to play an active role, but from the background.
For most part, such people get turned off by technology. They consider technology as a force that could possibly curtail their natural tendencies. Intelligent use of technology, on the other hand, would make such people feel at home with adopting new technologies, for most part without even noticing technology playing a part in their lives.
At Comwerks, we believe that technology is one of the key drivers in what we do, but we would also like to believe that Information Technology = Invisible Technology: where technology delivers results from the background.

This is what I wanted! I was searching on Google since 1 hour and was really depressed as I got nothing but this post really made me happy. I just bookmarked your blog as I will not like to waste my time again on Google.

I believe that the article is rather thoughtful as it contains lots of good data. In Any Event, was curious whether you would love to exchange web links with my web site, as I am searching to compile more web links to further extend and reach better audience for my web portal. I do not mind you setting my links at the homepage, just getting this web links on this particular link is good and adequate. Furthermore, please message me back at my web portal if you are keen in swapping links, I would really like that. I would like to thank you and I hope to get a reply from you shortly!
