The Reason for Technology

Some time back I came across a really interesting video titled "The Reason for Technology" by Dr.Goldratt. I thought I would make a presentation for the people who missed it.
The Powerpoint Presentation can be found at:
https://docs.google.com/present/edit?id=0ARMKCVUTFyrrZGR4ODR3bTVfM3J0ZmJtY2Nt&hl=en

The ppt contains some of my interpretations but except that most of the contents are what I scribbled down while listening to the video.

 Summary:

• For a Technology wants to be successful; it must diminish certain major limitation.
• Before the limitation was diminished; the world was living with the limitation. So people framed certain rules to accomodate that limitation.
• Organizations adopted the new technology; but the rules didn't change.
• Effectively they couldn't get benefits from the new technology.
• Not only that organizations have inertia to change anything; its difficult to realize that these rules are to be changed. They are so sunk within ourselves that they have become "a common practice".
• For a technology to be successful; it's ncecessary that we locate such rules that are to be changed; and institute new appropriate rules.

If by any chance you get to see this video; pl don't miss it. Its a

wonderful experience to listen to Dr. Goldratt! The video can also be
purchased from the TOC site :

If you think of or come across any such examples of technology implementations; request you to share the same.

Thank you.
