I have retired, and I no longer work in
a business world that has irrevocably changed.
I recall many long, dreary conference
calls. The essence of a conference call is that too many people, at
too many locations, have an interest in some greatly wounded but
still thrashing project. Some part of the conference call will
involve us, so that we must stick the phone to our ear, listen, and
wait.
Brian Brushwood, on a TWIT show,
brought the utterly new business world to my attention when he
exclaimed: “Those people on a conference all: they are not
listening! They are playing Candy Crush!”
Oh, I wish I had had an iPad in 1986.
