The superhighway’s adoption curve actually will be more rapid than any technology we’ve seen before.
Predictor: Tenenbaum, Marty
Prediction, in context:In a 1994 article for Infosecurity News, Dave Powell quotes Jay “Marty” Tenenbaum, president and chairman of Enterprise Integration Technologies, a CommerceNet founder: ”A lot of people will be scared to enter the superhighway. Executives are operating from a cost/benefit model and this often leads to caution. But when the vice president of marketing says, ‘We’ve got to get our product literature out there like everyone else,’ the benefit side will become more apparent. I think that the superhighway’s adoption curve actually will be more rapid than any technology we’ve seen before.”
