The Internet - The first Worldwide Tool of Unification ("The End of History")

" ... Now I give you something that few think about: What do you think the Internet is all about, historically? Citizens of all the countries on Earth can talk to one another without electronic borders. The young people of those nations can all see each other, talk to each other, and express opinions. No matter what the country does to suppress it, they're doing it anyway. They are putting together a network of consciousness, of oneness, a multicultural consciousness. It's here to stay. It's part of the new energy. The young people know it and are leading the way.... "

" ... I gave you a prophecy more than 10 years ago. I told you there would come a day when everyone could talk to everyone and, therefore, there could be no conspiracy. For conspiracy depends on separation and secrecy - something hiding in the dark that only a few know about. Seen the news lately? What is happening? Could it be that there is a new paradigm happening that seems to go against history?... " Read More …. "The End of History"- Nov 20, 2010 (Kryon channelled by Lee Carroll)

Have you seen innovation and invention in the past decade that required thinking out of the box of an old reality? Indeed, you have. I can't tell you what's coming, because you haven't thought of it yet! But the potentials of it are looming large. Let me give you an example, Let us say that 20 years ago, you predicted that there would be something called the Internet on a device you don't really have yet using technology that you can't imagine. You will have full libraries, buildings filled with books, in your hand - a worldwide encyclopedia of everything knowable, with the ability to look it up instantly! Not only that, but that look-up service isn't going to cost a penny! You can call friends and see them on a video screen, and it won't cost a penny! No matter how long you use this service and to what depth you use it, the service itself will be free.

Now, anyone listening to you back then would perhaps have said, "Even if we can believe the technological part, which we think is impossible, everything costs something. There has to be a charge for it! Otherwise, how would they stay in business?" The answer is this: With new invention comes new paradigms of business. You don't know what you don't know, so don't decide in advance what you think is coming based on an old energy world. ..."

Why do we have to tell CIO's that they need to know the business?

By Michael R. Farnum , Computerworld, on Fri, 09/28/2007 - 4:09pm

I have written in the past about security people needing to know the business side of the house. But when I saw this article about career advice for the CIO and how the CIO needs to be business savvy, I really had to throw out a big "DUH".

Now don't get me wrong; I am not disparaging Ms. Chatham on this point. What I am saying is that it drives me nuts that the point even has to be made. How on God's green Earth can a "C" level position in a company NOT know business and think he / she is going to make it? A CFO is supposed to know financial AND business issues. A COO is supposed to know operational AND business issues. Why isn't the CIO supposed to know IT AND business issues?

Well, now that I think about it, I guess I actually do know the reason the point has to be made: because so many CIO's up to this point have come directly from the technical side of the house, and they have found it hard to relate to the business world when their world has been technical for so long. CIO is NOT a technical position. Yes, it is good to know the ins and outs of the technical world so there can be a realistic expectation of what the techies can do. But a person at this level should be way past their days of "rack-and-stack" and script writing. It is like an old boss asked me when I was pining for a management job: "Are you ready to give up your technical knowledge?" It is true. Very few management jobs in IT involve technical tasks. And if you are going to become a CIO, you should have had at least a couple of management jobs before now.

Of course, when you throw a former pure management type into the mix who is not technology savvy, then you run into other problems. And though I can't speak for every company, this seems to be why companies are either dropping their CIO positions or creating de facto CIO positions with different titles. There are just too few people who can fit into that type of role, no matter their background.
