I'm Going to Make a Huge Prediction

6. Good advice. As an IT person, I trust you far more than many others sprouting this nonsense about AI etc. It

takes decades to bring in new tech., as a former IT guy myself, we bought in the Internet (data networks), originally for the Telcos, to save on private line expenses after breaking away from AT&T. Many got the thought that 'Hey, we got these data networks, lets sell the bandwidth'. It literally took years and years to implement, putting the infrastructure in, getting the tariffs written and implemented, etc., all back in the early 1980s. The savings were significant, the annual savings alone at SWBT (one of the Telcos split away from AT&T) estimated annual savings over $200 million in private line expenses vs. using a packet-switched data network (in effect, the ntwk sized itself, based upon demands of the ntwk on a per call basis (unless you're a PVC, perm. virtual circuit).

Be interesting to see what's coming next...
