When I talk on the phone, I’ve always used my left ear to listen. Listening in the right ear just doesn’t sound right. This might be due to being right handed, doing the shoulder hold to take notes when needed. As corded turned to cordless and mobile along with the hands-free ear-plugs, that plug went into the left ear whenever I was on the phone. Recently, I’ve been listening to some music while walking the dog and have run into an issue. The stereo ear plugs do not fit, sit or stay in my right ear. I have no problem with the nub in my left ear but need to keep re-inserting, adjusting and holding the plug in my right ear. I’m sure I was born with the same size opening for both ears years ago and my only explanation is that my left ear has evolved over the years to accommodate an ear plug. Even measuring each indicates that the left is opened more ever so slightly. I seem to be fine, or at least better, with the isolation earphone style but it’s the ear-bud type that won’t fit in my right ear. I realize there are tons of earplug types for various needs and I could just get one that works for me but it got me thinking. If my ears or specifically my left ear has morphed due to technology, what other human physical characteristics might evolve over time.

According to Wikipedia, a disruptive technology or disruptive innovation is an innovation that helps create a new market and value network, and eventually goes on to disrupt an existing market and value network (over a few years or decades), displacing an earlier technology. The term is used in business and technology literature to describe innovations that improve a product or service in ways that the market does not expect, typically first by designing for a different set of consumers in the new market and later by lowering prices in the existing market. Virtualization and software design have been the main drivers in the development of disruptive innovations in hardware.

Virtualization and private cloud are good for server consolidation, creating flexible environments, and saving IT budget dollars. A recent survey of 1200 companies with 500+ employees showed that 59% had server virtualization in production or pilot. But that doesn’t tell the whole story.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Dave Asprey, VP of Cloud Security at Trend Micro, will explain the types of situations when you should consider not virtualizing some of your applications. Reasons range from technical to legal to IT ops to politics to finances. Attend this session, and hear a true IT insider’s guide to the truth about virtualization.
