Gartner predicts telepresence to hit Airline Industry’s business; I disagree and worry!

Here’s why I disagree [while I totally agree that teleputing will definitely tackle the overkill and loss of hours/productivity where executives traveled like madmen]. Teleputing age [off-line consulting, conferences etc] gets you closer to each other and it definitely creates those “exclusive channels on the web” where “transparency” could play a great role and now think of the great opportunities but did you think of privacy at all?
What happens to privacy of those exclusive one-on-one conversations/transactions?
Couple of scenarios:
- You’re in close conversation with some potential customers and the feds are watching
- You’re doing transactions, feds are watching
- You’re there online but there is someone always watching
What about the Green Planet we were talking about?
Data Centers are already slated to be the worst CO2 emitters and the ofice [whatever that may be left of it in the mobile workforce], where PCs and Monitors are the CO2 worst performers as far as CO2 is concerned. See for yourself here and calculate what kind of consumption we are talking about. I will try to do a calculation with that calculator with some event where a full blown multimedia, online audio/video activity will literally light up the data centers crunching more and more info. Obviously I can’t do it alone so I may be seeking help from some of my friends.
With all the investment in alternative fuels and energy will only lead to more and more travels as Airline industry will be greener than the data center who will be producing massive CO2 garbage crunching all that voice, data and audio information where instead of hundreds physical attendees you will have hundreds of thousands of them sending out data [voice,audio]. There are some major issues that we may have to deal with if we keep our kids hooked up to the web.
Here are more of the predictions where they state Virtualization and Cloud Computing to have a significant effect in the IT indistry. Check it out yourself. In all those predictions I see massive security issues as we connect more and more on the web, be it Virtualization, Cloud Computing or other forms of teleputing.

From 2009 to 2013 the server virtualisation software market will grow with a CAGR* of 28 percent, rising from US$1.8bn to US$6.2bn. Virtualisation’s impact on the IT industry has been dramatic and will continue to be the catalyst for change in infrastructure and operations until 2013. Organisations are looking at ways to cut costs, better utilise assets and reduce implementation/management time and complexity. Virtualisation addresses all of these concerns. Gartner recommends organisations openly evaluate and implement virtualisation at both server and desktop level to save money and remain competitive.
By 2011, 30 percent of Consulting and Systems Integration revenue will be delivered via ’cloud computing’, a style of computing where massively scaleable IT-enabled capabilities are delivered ’as a service’ to external customers using internet technologies. Gartner analysts said organisations should consider cloud-based delivery options from their Consulting and Systems Integration provider as it will enable the delivery of a potentially more cost effective solution.
