Abstract:

COVID-19 is the first global crisis of the Internet age, and we are all living through it day by day. Just being here at this conference in person is a remarkable thing, made possible by many other things that could have gone wrong actually going right. But isn't that the story behind many things, including the increasing importance of public cloud infrastructure?

This talk draws from Ed's 25 years of professional programming experience, spanning many languages, operating systems, and platforms to look at how innovation and gratitude come together to enable opportunity. From the cold-war inspired invention of packet-switched networking, through the library science informed invention of HTML, and adtech enabling invention of the <IMG> tag, to the hardware-revenue driving invention of client/server computing, and our contemporary era of completely commoditized cloud everything, innovation and gratitude can form a virtuous cycle. The deeply personal and massively shared experience of COVID-19 calls us to ensure our future virtuous cycles are built with a view toward broadening opportunity, not concentrating it.

Purpose:

Increase awareness of the influencers of innovation that brought us to our current point in the practice of IT. Increase gratitude for the help we all get so we are inspired to give back in some way.

Target Audience

• Conference attendees looking to feel good about taking the risk to
  attend this in-person event.
• Technical practitioners looking to get a broader perspective on how
  their particular area of interest fits into the bigger world of IT.
• Management influencers who need to understand that an attitude of
  gratitude pays dividends in terms of fueling innovation.

Audience Takeaway

Innovation fuels growth. Gratitude and compassion fuel innovation. Be aware of the many things beyond your control that have to go right in order to achieve success. Learn that by helping others achieve, you will help yourself.
