A Reaction with "IT DOESN’T MATTER (NICHOLAS CARR, 2003)"

Ted Hoff, a senile Intel engineer, have discovered a way to put the circuits necessary for computer processing onto a tiny piece of silicon during 1968 which now commonly called as processor. Because of his invention, there are now millions of popping technologies including the controversial proprietary and infrastructural technologies. Proprietary technologies can only be owned in a single company for their sole successful operations. On the other hand, infrastructural technologies offer far more value because it is been shared in the industry.
IT has all the hallmarks of an infrastructural technology even though there are more complex and malleable than its predecessors. As a matter of fact, its mix of characteristics guarantees particularly rapid commoditization including the arrival of the Internet which has provided a perfect delivery for generic applications. Gordon Moore has predicted that the density of circuits on a computer chip would double every two years and also the coming of the free fall in the price of computer functionality.
A significant lesson can be learned in early infrastructural technologies: If there will be a build up of competition to resource that is inconsequential to strategy, the risks it creates become more important than the advantages it provides. As the years passed, IT management has become more satirical than ever. The prime provocation will be to preserve that inculcation when the business cycle strengthens and the ensemble of publicity about IT’s strategic worth ascends afresh.
The material is created in such a way that the readers or audience can understand the prime gist and develop eccentric thoughts for the ideas from it. The thesis sentence itself is strong which give the purpose of the material’s topic and it also addressed the process that will be discussed. The ideas are appropriate for the audience’s needs and detailed enough for the readers to follow. The best part of the material is when the author differentiates proprietary technology between infrastructural technologies and also he cited that the latter technology is having far more greater value. The least great part of the material is about how vendors problem become a risk in the industry.
The author is brilliant and he is very good in organizing ideas for this material. Actually, he has build up the audience paragraph by paragraph on its climatic finish. In fact, I, myself, understand the general and main idea of the material. Generally, this material is a good to read and very informative to eager readers.The material is not fictional rather it transcends the realities in the IT world and on all human being. Information Technology has become trend in the marketing and business world. Because of this, there are competitions in technologies and they become very greedy in terms of IT marketing. As humans, we should be generous and productive. This will help the industry progress and relentlessly fruitful.
This material has a very informative way of displaying ideas and gist. For my personal reaction, I really like the material and it is not boring and I felt enjoyable during my reading. The ideas are organized well and perfectly by the author. I easily understand it and define each of it with much thought.
There are parts of the material that I find interesting and surprising. One of it is when Gordon Moore predicted that the density of circuits on a computer chip would double every two years and that the price of computer functionality will come to fall. This is very observable nowadays and this occur because of the fast pace of technology in the industry.
I dislike the fact that there is a great risk in IT management because of the market competition. This will be a factor on declining in IT organizations. There should be an immediate solution with this from the government agencies.
Over all, the material’s totality is really great and very informative for readers.
There are a few parts in the material that relates in my own daily life experiences. One is the competition in IT industry. This is very common nowadays. It can be seen on simple things like cellphone marketing, computer sales and etc. Another one is in the difference of proprietary technologies and infrastructural technologies. In either small or large companies, there are difference in technologies and might create a risk in appropriate IT management.
