Many business owners know they need tech but still have reservations. They drag their feet for decisions or resist their own CTO/CIOs because they can not understand the tech. Business owners need to keep in mind that technology in any form, from fire and electricity to HTTP and WiFi is what keeps us out of the jungle and makes us able to compete.Honestly, I do not see a point in the near future where there will be a clear shift towards business owners who better embrace tech-- although I've heard people suggest this is already occurring: e.g. Google, Microsoft, etc. I disagree, rather what we are seeing is the natural generational acceptance of existing technologies. The senior management at large companies these days grew up aware of computers in the 50s & 60s, regardless of whether they touched them. In twenty years, kids of the 80s & 90s will be senior management and they will have accepted far more complex technologies, having grown up aware of the Internet, mobile tech, and the accelerating pace of tech.That said I would suggest that across the board their acceptance level will be on par with today's leaders, except the apparent complexity may hide that. Perhaps this trend should be considered technology complexity inflation or just Tech Inflation?p.s.
