Recently I argued with some colleagues that the real changes in technology over the past few years have more to do with what no longer matters than anything else. Before I say anything more, this is not an endorsement of Nicholas Carr's now way too famous "IT Doesn't Matter" argument. For the record, I have consistently maintained that operational technology matters a little less than it did but that strategic technology matters more than ever. That said, let's look at what no longer matters operationally and even strategically.
