The Web generation gap
Courtesy of Jeff Tash I saw Joel's rant here about Web 2.0. If a young man, a software entrepreneur, recently out of Microsoft feels this way...what about corporate types? Some folks there still work with Assembler code and VSAM file formats. They have heard "you just don't get it!" during so many cycles - Web 1.o, client/server computing, the debate over "green v/s graphical" UI, AS/400s will take over world, PCs/MACs are it. Somehow they still control budgets! Gartner is right to talk about convergence between consumer and corporate oriented markets in 2012 terms...maybe...
I did enjoy the Billy Madison quote. Want to make sure my kids do not use it when I rant...they can stick with "you just don't get it!"
