jdodge just created content The IT conversation we should be having

I never know quite what to think of articles predicting the CIO's and IT's demise, but they are appearing with greater frequency and intensity. Here's the latest research findings from a CIO Survey by the Harvard Business Review, The Economist, Intel, CEB formerly the Corporate Executive Board and TNS Global (that's of lot or surveyors).

Interesting story in Computerworld "Early Google Glass users finding sense of freedom'

But one user feeling that way doesn't mean they all do.

Much will depend on the apps developed for it....or "Glassware" as Google is calling it. So far, they seem geared for the consumer space...CNN announced news alerts this morning. Elle magazine is doing an app although none of the apps can contain ads. And there another social app called Ice Breaker, according to a NYT story.

So the consumer space seems where the device might get traction although let's face it: consumers would not pay $1,500 a pop, which is what developers are paying for it.

We'll see if the enterprise apps start appearing. Some CIOs have said they envision Glass having applications in retail and engineering.

Where will the skills to drive the U.S. economy forward come from? Business leaders say they need to recruit offshore to get the skills they need to keep their companies competitive (our poll favors raising the limits in H1-Bs.)

jdodge just commented on It's a early (and crude) in Applications

It's a early (and crude) version of wearable technology and what's to come. It's what the Newton was to what became the iPhone.

From what I've read, the glasses are a tad uncomfortable. I use a Fitbit pedometer and Cyclemeter on my iPhone. In a sense, they are early versions of wearable technology.
