someone else to do the work."

Where
were you the day the Internet died?
 |
Not
likely to happen? Just wait. The funny part is that
the way it affects you will not be clear until it
happens. Will the office be silent because nobody
is working or is Facebook and You Tube not entertaining
everyone? Will your mobile phone not have service
because the lack of email has forced everyone to
phone home ? Will the traffic on the roads double
as everyone who remoted in or worked from the home
drove in? Will everybody have a dazed and confused
look as they realize how little they know and that
with Google asleep, they may as well |
be? Will
every order you wish to place or track,
or bank balance to transfer or check or stock to buy or
sell go on hold? Of course. As every piece of personal
communication fails, will you become instantly lonely,
worried? Will your IP video surveillance of your vacation
home go down, along with your alarms? In fact, no Internet,
no control of the millions of devices that we monitor
and control over the public Internet. And who can forget
the millions of VPN based connections that we so cleverly
use the Internet for so we could get away from paying
the phone companies for expensive private lines? Yes,
the day the Internet dies will be a very valuable one.
It will reset our thinking of how far we have come and
where we are going. It will show us how vulnerable we
are, and help us plan a more resilient future. I hope
it comes sooner than later. |

Managing a Mobile Workforce

Center

It's 10 a.m. Do you know where your employees are?
The ranks
of mobile workers are swelling, fueled by the wireless
Internet, powerful handheld devices, VPNs (virtual private
networks), and WLANs (wireless local area networks).
As many
as nine out of every 10 employees now work from locations
other than company headquarters, according to Nemertes
Research, a New York market researcher that specializes
in emerging technologies. In addition, some 40% to 70%
of employees work in locations remote from their supervisors.
