I found an interesting situation tonight. I use a MacBook Air when I am traveling (smaller, lighter, easier). I arrived at a conference in a large hotel where they don't have an easy wireless connection, just wired, and an Air has no ethernet port. I find this interesting in that I just expected that I would have wireless access and have no other way to connect to the internet than by walking the streets around the hotel with my Air on and trying to locate a wireless connection. So obviously I found a connection but isn't it interesting that I have already gotten to assume I would have access easily. Things they are a changin'. The hotel tells me that they are in the midst of major room renovations and that a wireless system is included. So, maybe next time I'm here it won't matter......

Leadership 2035

We are living in a most fascinating time (all of our ancestors probably said something similar!). The economy, business, and, in fact, our everyday lives are changing not incrementally, but in leaps and bounds. Given the current state of affairs, it seems a good idea to extrapolate into the future 25 years. If today is the foundation for tomorrow, what will that tomorrow look like in 2035? What a great place to start........ Hmmmmm, let's see..........
