"The consumerization of IT"
Whatever that means. Not sure if the title fits the description. Is "consumerization" even a real word?
"The borderless network"
I still say protecting the network is important - now more than ever, even. Tools like VPN help to keep it secure while allowing more freedom - but security is not any less important. I most certainly would *not* want businesses to just open up new lines without considering security.
"The cloudy data center"
Hopefully businesses aren't just using data centers with no purpose - I think most businesses should think about the importance of the information they track and why they need to track it.
And I'd still want to have a backup - can't have all our your eggs in one basket, even if that basket is the cloud.
"The state of outsourcing"
What's our unemployment again?
There's really nothing left to debate here - either you care about it or you don't.
And oh, yeah - there's a reason why those jobs are cheaper. Gotta love how reducing costs at any price turns a blind eye to the human element.
"The mobilization paradigm"
"for all of these other workers who regularly move around as part of their daily job . . ."
Frankly, I think the statement is way too broad to say anything about what the "natural" flow is! Different jobs are different, and may use computers differently - and sometimes may not involve them at all. I think it's very presumptuous to make broad claims in an area where specifics are vitally important.
