Subtitled: "It's All About Productivity Now. Dramatic Productivity Gains from New Technology Dominate the Landscape." Honestly, if it's all about productivity, I want to pack up my computer and take up a new line of work. These ppredictions by Sam S. Adkins of the Workflow Institute seem well grounded, but they miss the wonderment that defines real change. "Enterprise Application Integration accelerates." Yawn. "Productivity gains from new mobile technology explode." Sigh. Where's the motivation, the urgency? He could have written all his predictions in one line: online learning will continue to be commodified and co-opted. Is all this what people really want out of our great new internet? (p.s. what's up with Internet Time's comment field rejecting my email address (specifically, the .ca part of it) as 'questionable content?)
