IT is a bottleneck? You've got to be kidding me. I find it hard to conceive of a company currently using IT that would function more effectively without it. Some people, particularly CIOs IMO, have outrageously extravagant expectations and no appreciation of what IT does for them and their companies.

IT is, and has always been, a massive facilitator of business, without which most businesses (certainly those above a certain size) would not survive for more than a couple of days.

If upper management expectations of buidling contractors were anything like their expectations of IT people, they'd expect a new building to be up in a couple of days despite a few requests to change the number of floors etc. halfway through.

Normally your brain is running an trillions of flops, amazingly decoding mulitple streams in a complex and ever-changing environment, and you don't feel a thing. However every now and again you hit a sentence like this:

There's almost a pain in your head as the logic simply fails to provide any traction and your brain cells spin desperately.

The people who write this nonsense are clever. They know what they're doing. I think we should form a vigilante gang - like the people who blow up speed cameras - and take out PR departments from Oracle etc into the car park...... and give them a good kicking...

Okay, I know this is feeding the trolls, but has amanfromMars suddenly entered puberty on that last one. It's never wandered off in that direction before.
