Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, on technology revolution<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“There was 5 exabytes of information created between the dawn of civilization through 2003,” Schmidt said, “but that much information is now created every 2 days, and the pace is increasing…People aren’t ready for the technology revolution that’s going to happen to them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve spent a lot of time with non-technical people lately. \u00a0People from different industries – shipping, real estates, and even music recording. \u00a0Most of these people are just getting into the whole technology thing. \u00a0Sure, they use Google to search the web. \u00a0But that’s not what I am talking about. \u00a0They are just getting started with using technology for their business. \u00a0And most of them are so far behind, that paper seems to them like the only working solution.<\/p>\n

Talking to these people, there is a whole variety of subjects that have to be explained to them. \u00a0Even aside from technology. \u00a0Things like data consistency, workload scalability, process automation, backups, security, and more. \u00a0Consider for example a website. \u00a0Most of these people see a website with 5-10 pages to be an huge amount of work. \u00a0It’s almost like they need to hire a separate person to handle that. \u00a0For most of them, the fact that I have a personal blog with more than 4,000 articles in it, is mind-blowing.<\/p>\n

When they are introduced to online tools for handling emails, documents, accounting, or project management, most of them need to pause for a couple of weeks, to process the information overload. \u00a0When they hear that blog posts and social media are more effective ways to communicate than press releases, they feel shaken, lost, and scared. \u00a0When they realize that most of the things they’ve learned in college are not too practical anymore, they get really stressed.<\/p>\n

And these are people who are already familiar with Google search. \u00a0I know that there are layers and layers of people behind them, who have no knowledge of computers at all. \u00a0And those people will get online soon. \u00a0And they will need to change the way they think and the way they work. \u00a0And I have to agree with Eric Schmidt here, that most of those people are not ready yet.<\/p>\n

But I think it will happen anyway.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
