Random Thoughts...

After a very long time , I have opened a few websites I frequented as a fresher and it amazes me that I actually lost touch with the innovations happenings around the industry. Today, people are talking about Infrastructure as a Service, Network Attached Memory, 4G. Long gone are the days of commute on foot/two-wheelers – now is the fast forward generation of speed trains and luxury shuttles. And pretty soon it would be a virtual box, with access to anything and everything over thin air! Like the Minority Report. We are talking about Infrastructure as a service and later perhaps, it would be Artificial Resources as Service (What do you say? I wonder if we are really that far from this being a reality – are we not already half way machines with flesh and blood?). The science fiction no longer remains fiction but borders round the reality, as the artificial Intelligence gives way to automated and highly intelligent machines (shudder!!) that can complete the tasks – based on the archival processing of the data and refining approaches that worked well in the past, without any human intervention. One side, it is a proud moment to see that the intelligence has no bounds and that miracles can co-exist with natural events in a miraculously simple way, and on the other side, it is frightening to think about the human reactions to those times. Man being a power-hungry entity, the more chance of acquiring power, the more ruthless his actions shall be: “It is purely business, nothing personal!”

But, for now, let me just mask in the glory of the innovations that are coming out into the market and will rule the future market – to virtualization – cloud computing… and perhaps to more focused and productive and short office hours than laborious, inefficient long hours!
