What happened To progress, Listening & Dialogue?
By Nick Ashton, CEO/CTO,
CommSmart Global Group of Companies.
It seems some
have become “Know It All’s”!
Or, even
worse, stating, “Don’t Tell Me What You Know, Have Proven and Works, As I Don’t Care”!
“In Fact I Am In Management, A CEO, CFO, Director of Trust &
Security, I Am The IT Guru of the Company, I Know It All”!
What arrogance!
I spoke with such a person yesterday, in fact
every single day, the majority of corporate management have this attitude.
They are the Blinkered
Society!
Oh, hard of hearing too!
Do you see
that we are accelerating the demise of the respect of the clients who make you
the money to build you empires and live the lifestyle? Those that fit this bill, which they will
never admit to, have the audacity not to listen and think that their effluent
does not stink?
Progress is
with us to stay, folks like Alexander Graham Bell, Tesla, Edison, Leonard
Kleinrock, J.C.R. Licklider, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Jimmy
Fallon, Jeb Bush and so many more. What
is it with this elitist’s attitude and how it is spiraling out of control
because of the arrogance or is it just a human factor?
The
Internet has become the stable of all we do and should not be brushed aside or
just accepted. It must be nurtured,
protected and used carefully as it is the backbone of future.
So where
did it all begin? The initial idea is
credited as being Leonard Kleinrock's after he published his first paper
entitled "Information Flow in Large Communication Nets" on May 31,
1961.
In 1962,
J.C.R. Licklider became the first Director of IPTO and gave his vision of a
galactic network. In addition to ideas from Licklider and Kleinrock, Robert
Taylor helped create the idea of the network that later became ARPANET.
In the
summer of 1968, the Network Working Group (NWG) held its first meeting chaired
by Elmer Shapiro with the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) with attendees:
Steve Carr, Steve Crocker, Jeff Rulifson, and Ron Stoughton. In the meeting,
the group discussed solving issues related to getting hosts to communicate with
each other.
In December
1968, Elmer Shapiro with SRI released a report "A Study of Computer
Network Design Parameters." Based on this work and earlier work done by
Paul Baraon, Thomas Marill and others; Lawrence Roberts and Barry Wessler
helped to create the final version of the Interface Message Processor (IMP)
specifications. Bolt Beranek and Newman, Inc. (BBN) was later awarded the
contract to design and build the IMP subnetwork.
Just a little
background on what you are reading this on, in case you think Al Gore invented
the Internet and is most probably the cause himself, of so called, Global Warming.
Security is
of the utmost importance. Remember when
they invented the motorized buggy? Maybe
a little before your time, but they made a person walk in front of the buggy and
wave a red flag, they thought people needed warning of this new phenomenon. I am not suggesting that we need red flags or
do we?
It is the
human element that is the problem! Human
errors cause most disasters and right now hacking, phishing and MIIT Brutal
attacks are a major cause for concern.
It is All About Attitude Change...
WE are in the NOW and
KEEP YOU; in the KNOW…
