Words Don’t Mean Things After All! The On-Premise IT Roundtable
from Tech Field Day Podcast · host Tech Field Day
Do words mean things? It depends on who you ask. Often the more technically minded IT folks like hard and fast definitions, while marketing tends to lend to a more “generous” interpretation of words. Do we need to rigidly enforce definitions, or are we resigned to an infinite regress into mutual unintelligibility? We’re no stranger to this debate on Gestalt IT, but the panel sheds new light and perspective on this often frustrating premise. On-Premises for today’s roundtable: Follow us on Twitter.
