There’s an inherent sense of almost forced innovation that appears to pervade the information technology industry. As we constantly push forward into perpetual cycles of reinvention, continual enhancement and augmentation after augmentation, one almost has to stop and ask what’s wrong with the software and systems that we have at our disposal today?
If a ‘neophiliac’ (don’t worry, it’s not rude) can be described as a person with a personality type characterized by a strong affinity for new things and an ability to adapt well to extreme change, then perhaps it is the neophiliacs who built the new style of IT model that we appear to be hurtling towards today.
