Recently I’ve been having a very hard time talking to students, executives, and business leaders about information technology.
Even though I’ve spent most of my life in and around technology, thinking about information flows and their implications in a business context, having to use the term “information technology”—even the abbreviation “IT”—fills me with dread, almost a self-loathing, because the term is no longer appropriate in a business context. To borrow a computer-science term, the denotational semantics are all wrong.
