I’ve been reading “The World is Flat” lately. The book discusses how globalization is impacting everyone and offers thoughts on how to best adapt to the changing world. While most of it is based on interviews and anecdotal evidence, the book does serve to get one thinking.
I’m amazed at how focused most learning is that we IT Security folks engage in. While we do need to be experts in security, I’m concerned we have two narrow of a life focus. Do we miss the bigger picture when we focus on the details extensively? Do we ignore the “why” by seeping ourselves in the “how?”
Yes, we are knowledge brokers. We need the technical knowledge. Should we take a little time to make ourselves more human?
Talk with you next time.
