IT Not Exactly The Same Globally

Information Technology has reached almost all places on Earth. It should essentially be the same everywhere, with so many companies being global concerns - right?

Not necessarily.

In a small flurry of jumping around in the ‘ether’ the last couple of days, I stumbled upon (but not through StumbleUpon) an online information technology magazine from Down Under.

It is immediately the same as any we have here in the states, but subtle differences abound. It is immediately apparent that we don’t share the same concerns, as the articles are not quite as filled with ‘you had better get this or that fixed or something bad will happen to your network’.

For those who are completely ethnocentric, you won’t be pleased to learn that the Aussies seem to compare themselves, and contrast also, with Mother England. Those of us here in America are hardly mentioned as a people.

Yes, it is refreshing to see a different view, and lighten up a little while learning what goes on in technology. The Aussies have a sense of humor, and it escapes into business publications.
