The Gist¶
- IT is dead
- Convergence
- Profit!!
The Meat¶
- Traditional SysAdmins are like human bowling pin-setters: obsolete
- “Doing things right” vs. “doing the right things”
- Effects in play
- The Network Effect (aka Metcalf’s Law)
- The Edge Effect (the more different things, the better)
- Meatware (real people)
- Laws in effect
- Nielson’s Law (bandwidth) vs. Kryder’s Law (storage density)
- “The Mobility Gap” between storage and bandwidth
- Moore’s Law (computing power)
- The Internet is a DAG (Direct Acyclic Graph)
- If we have quantum computing, we have no crypto: Time to rethink!
- Post-convergence for PC (e.g. Apple -> Pagemaker)
Summary¶
- Things are interesting, new, and exciting in this era.
- The goal is to make your platform boring!
