“Thin client” has nothing to do with putting your desktop through a South Beach diet program. It is part of the migration from desktop to cloud computing. BTW, these “thin clients” will soon make our flat screen TV’s obsolete when fiber-enabled bandwidth arrived at our doorstep.
I have been telecommuting for about a decade now. Thus, I need David Allen to come out with a book, not on Getting Things Done, but on how to give yourself a (cleaning) service contract, and it should be tax-deductible. I wrote about the need for social networking on my previous blogs, as opposed to Emily who wrote a piece in CSM that Facebook and the likes mistook community for commodity. She must be sitting in the library or teaching at city college, and can’t wait to replenish her energy by being alone (assuming she is introverted). I am, on the other hand, need to interact with people to boost up my energy. Sort of like sunflowers that need sunshine.
Or else, I will gain a few pounds here and there, while my desktop gets “thinner” every year. Send in the cloud!
