IT Quote of the Day – Einstein
I like Information Age quotations. I find some of them very inspirational and like to carry a new one around about every week. I thought that i could share mine with you from time to time.
Here is my quote of the day:
“A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem.”
Albert Einstein

So how do you think that this relates to Information Technology? How do you think that it could be important to Information Technology Professionals?

Here is an IT Thought for the day:
“Friending” is not the same as “befriending”–
The average American today has only a third as many friends as 25 years
ago, and one-fourth have no close confidants at all, according to
recently released data from medical researchers. The Internet may be
largely to blame, says Michael Bugeja, author of INTERPERSONAL DIVIDE
(Oxford University Press, 2005).
Many people have a swarm of friends on Facebook, but do they ever call?
“Friending” is not the same as “befriending”–being a friend–Bugeja
notes, arguing that instead of creating a global village, the Internet
has distracted and distanced us from each other.
One impact is that lonely people have no one to turn to in hard times,
whereas during the Depression people relied on each other. Now, when
people can no longer afford the communications devices they’ve come to
rely on instead of people, they become truly isolated. As a result,
suicide rates may increase, even among young children, Bugeja warns.
