Are the political and professional classes not simply immigrants to this world but sceptics? Many see the world web and Internet as less important. If at first an idea isn’t absurd, there’s no hope for it…. “An amazing invention but who would ever want to use one?” Rutherford B Hayes, US President This device has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.” Western Union "Well-informed people know it is impossible to transmit the voice over wires. Even if it were, it would be of no practical value.“ Boston Post 1865 “Everything that can be invented has been invented.” US Patent Office 1899 What they said about computers….!! “I think there is a world “A social news website where market for maybe five the users choose the top computers.” Thomas J. stories? That will never work!” Watson Snr, IBM Chairman, Bill Gates 1943 “There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.” Ken Olsen, President, Digital Equipment, 1977 “Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons.” Popular Mechanics, 1949 “The Internet will catastrophically collapse in 1996.” Robert Metcalfe, Internet Inventor Conclusion This is not about restructuring – it is about innovation transformation and being obsessed with people’s experience of public services Promoting independence and choice, and the personalisation of services Shift of power from systems and practitioners to citizens Technology is just a tool. Dramatic change will continue and we should not underestimate the massive shift in all areas of our lives with regard to applied technology.
