Storage Effect

Ann at GigaOm reviewed “The Big Switch”, Nick Carr’s follow-on to “Does IT Matter?”.

I agree that the Big Switch is a good thing.  Change is always scary, but that doesn’t automatically make it ominous.  Often, it is how we get from there to here.

Carr’s comparisons to Edison and the electic grid are telling. Content is the new electricity, and society’s consumption of the new “power” is spawning new information appliances and industries that will be the modern-day Frigidaires, General Electrics and PG&Es.

It’s all good for content-enabling companies that are ready to adapt and evolve!
