High-Tech Jobs Are Going Abroad! But That's Okay
Topic: Tech Industry 12:48 pm EST, Nov  5, 2003

There's good news and not-so-good news in the American workplace. The economy is growing, but high-tech jobs have not come back.

Lots of people are worried about it. The fear is understandable. The trend isn't surprising.

So why don't I believe the outsourcing of high-tech work is something to lose sleep over?

Our economic future is wedded to technological change, and most of the jobs of the future are still ours to invent.

This op-ed by former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich appeared in the Sunday edition of the Washington Post.

As Silicon Valley Reboots, the Geeks Take Charge
Topic: Tech Industry 12:15 pm EST, Oct 27, 2003

Are the good times back in Silicon Valley?

Silicon Valley is rebooting. And this time, the geeks are the ones with the upper hand.

... The marketing plan, business model and sometimes the company itself die, but good technology tends to live on. Think of it as the biz/tech equivalent of the "selfish gene." ... "No one gets too torn up about [failure] in the valley."

"There is a lot of phenomenal intellectual property that has not found its way into the marketplace yet."

Investors May Have Repudiated the Internet, but Consumers Have Not
Topic: Tech Industry 5:53 pm EDT, Jul 22, 2002

"The Internet has turned out to be more of a souped-up telephone than a delivery vehicle for media and entertainment.

The most far-reaching impact lies in the rhythms and habits formed by daily use of the Web's interactive features.

"This is an audience that wants to make their own schedules."

"The move from passive to a more active paradigm in consumer behavior is where the new media has had the greatest impact.

"The media ... is very good at satisfying generic interests but isn't good at satisfying each individual's very unique, specific interest."

Silicon Valley Without Trimmings
Topic: Tech Industry 1:49 pm EDT, Jul 15, 2002

"Within walking distance of Stanford, where the economist who coined the term "conspicuous consumption" once taught, a dark reality is playing out. Having already gone from boom to bust, many dot-commers are coming to something worse. Unable to make payments, they are selling luxury cars, canceling home renovations and returning jewelry by the box."

Its hard to feel sorry for someone who has to sell their Lotus in order to make ends meet. Markoff could have talked about how the regional downturn has impacted the middle and lower classes, but would you care? Everyone in Silicon Valley is rich, right?
