Thom Hartman. "Change our culture, beginning with yourself.

Such a solution is among the most perplexing to grasp because culture, at its core, is invisible. Like the air we breathe and walk through, its presence is only felt when itís resisted: at all other times itís part of the nothing-around-us that we rarely consider and almost never question.

The idea of cultural change is also often unpalatable because any sort of real, individual, personal change in beliefs and behaviors is so difficult as to be one of the rarest events we ever experience in our own lives or witness among those we know. Itís easy to send ten dollars off to the Sierra Club; itís infinitely more difficult to reconsider beliefs and behaviors held since childhood, and then change your way of life to one based on that new understanding, new viewpoint, or new story.

But if such deep change is what we really need, I see no point in pretending that something simpler will do it."

Historical view: defining event (on the scale of TCP/IP) SOAP, WDSL, UDDI (not DCOM & CORBA [prior protocols])

Timeline slide, hype cycle (from the Gartner conference last week) - this one has a double hump with the prediction that the plateau of productivity will not come until 2005.
