... you probably are somewhat of a digital native; i.e. you can't really remember a world where Internet did'nt exist. You may use such (unfamiliar?) sites as Wikipedia, Blogger, Facebook, Ning, Google, Yahoo Pipes and all the others. What happens then when you get hired to work at pretty much any company?
You immediately lose your status as a digital native and will be transferred back to the days of the fileserver and the e-mail inbox as your sole source of information. Ever tried "googling" through a fileserver? Gives me the uncomfortable version of the chills down my spine.
This is where Enterprise 2.0 comes in. Transfer the behaviour that already exists from the private sphere into the enterprise world. There is so much information laying around your company for no use. The technology to take advantage of it is here and it's cheap. The greater challenge is changing the behaviour of us working within the companies. I strongly believe that the so called digital natives of the 80's (and oh my god, the babyboomers of the 90's) will demand that their future workplaces implement a strategy for collaboration and Enterprise 2.0-tools.
And I'm not saying that just people born in the latter part of the 20th century will demand this, my mother (age 64) uses Wikipedia too...
We need executives (most born in the 40's or 50's) to understand the potential of their employees and the information we're carrying with us. Give us the tools, sit back and in a couple of months time you WILL google your own wikipedia.
