Power of an Idea

Great minds discuss ideas,average minds discuss events,small minds discuss people."
- Laurence Peter

I just happened to attend open-coffee-club meet in Koramangala in Bangalore ..
In fact.. I was amazed to see the people from myriad background and exposure,However most
of them are from IT background( Including Me).. Some had come just to see/hear what's been talked in these kind of meets.
Well as some one rightly pointed out.. Technology does'nt have answer to most of the business problems.. lemme recall the Dabbawala's in Mumbai.. I was Amazed when I happen to see them do a presentation on their operation and a movie featuring it. In my humble opinion Innovation them with any sort of technology to ease their mundane task will be disastrous, Having said this.. they are SIX sigma certified !!
There may be similar operations we may need to explore as some one said.. After all term technology refers to "The practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area" and "a capability given by the practical application of knowledge ( Ref: The Merriam-Webster )

Well it's up to us to think upon ....however we cant live without the comfy of mobile phones, Laptops, Email, Airconditiond cars and office, Frequent Flying,.

I sum up to say.. I live more luxurious that the kings who lived 100/200 years back.. well guys let's get back to work with monday blues ;-)

Good luck and God Speed !!
