IT-enabled work is dramatically reshaping the world’s capability
for innovation and result. Just as the lens shaped the
Scientific Revolution starting in Florence, and the microprocessor
shaped the Silicon Valley computing leadership, the new IT backbone
is enabling a virtual community that is unprecedented in world economic
history. This backbone is not yet widely understood for its impact
on organizations, institutions, and governments – science
fiction writers and journalists (e.g. Bruce Sterling and Tom Friedman)
have ironically been our best source of vision about this future
to date, while people ostensibly closest to the field (e.g. Bob
Metcalfe and Nick Carr) have sometimes missed the point of their
own revolution. This brief keynote will examine some of the forces
that are aligning, along with some issues to be addressed, for the
next generation of IT.
Chuck
House is Director of the Research Collaboratory for Intel Corporation,
with dual role in the Societal Impact of Technology. Featured in
the Wizards of Computing for the Hewlett-Packard Productivity
Network, he has long, deep involvement in innovation, technology
transfer, and tools that enhance these processes. He has led multiple
teams for innovative capability, including a dozen business lines
at HP, a variety of start-ups, and NASDAQ and NYSE leader companies.
House, an IEEE Fellow and ACM President, has been profiled recently
by EDN for one of the top 50 electronic products of the 20th century
– logic analyzers – and #7 on CNN’s top 25 products
of the past 25 years – mobile computing devices. Holding HP’s
Medal of Defiance as well as The Chuck House Productivity
Award, House is currently completing a co-authored historical
book about HP. His talk today is extracted from another forthcoming
book: Empowering eWorkforces.
