Is New Technology Really a Threat?

This is not the first time I’ve reposted Norman Lamont’s superb slideshare presentation on the use of new technology in the workplace.

I was particularly reminded of it when prepapring for the recent Pecha Kucha session I ran at the eLN Showcase on the subject of Overcoming Objections to Social Media. One of the key messages I wanted to get across was that many of the concerns are about the way people use the tools rather than the tools themselves. Norman’s presentation is a very smart and very funny take on the paranoia surrounding social media tools.
