Internet as infrastructure technology

Nicholas Carr in his book ' IT Brilliance and poverty ... In his understanding - infrastructure technology is the use of such technology is not possible to obtain a strategic advantage over competitors.

But I'm wondering is not it, namely the Internet infrastructure, technical services and information from which it is. To live without him is difficult, as without some cold water or heating. But with it was easier - much easier it is to find the address on a map, phone number, place an ad in the newspaper or find out other people's opinions on relevant issues.

That's just about the infrastructure and the authorities need to think rather than create a chimeric projects such as the Internet in every school or a computer in every home. All these projects are being imposed without any explanation, that these technologies will give people. In 10 years can certainly up to the people, and so reach, but the authorities need to understand that even the technology infrastructure can be won on the effect of early use. But this is impossible without the proper promotion and access to technology.

In the meantime, unfortunately, the officials are more concerned with maintaining accountability to higher officials, and also saw cut the budget money. As a recent story in the ' wick ' - official tells the chief that brought computers into every school district, but they say the problem is that there is power he has never happened, in any form. To which the chief is responsible, but it is not our area of ​​responsibility, and we did his job 100%.
