DISQUS

That second thought is interesting. I suppose social software could be discouraged by the companies (already "blog" is a word that brings down the iron curtain in some companies, just like we were living in China) and the young people accept that because they don't have any power, or it'll mean that IT departments will need to co-opt a lot of those people and stop being the "have you turned it off and on again?" types parodied by the IT Croud.

I think IT departments run a real risk of being marginalised as the younger, tech-savvy generation enter the workforce. It's the pro-active ones who'll survive and thrive.

But I really can't see the "command and control" school of IT management surviving another decade, as always-on devices proliferate. Younger people will just start using their own kit to route around corporate restrictions.

I'm actually (pleasantly) surprised by the number of people that get their information from blogs. It does have to make you feel good as a blogger, doesn't it?
