Like we’ve talked about in our podcasts, IT technology is literally everywhere, even on the expanse of the USA’s Great Plains. Jim and Liron discuss the future of IT with Brian Knudtson, a fellow technology advocate from the proverbial Silicon Prairie – Omaha, Nebraska – on the importance of the need for community regardless of geography, especially as the “hybridity” of future work continues to expand. Brian offers excellent advice on everything from blogging not just for an audience, but for yourself as well as how to prepare to present on technology topics in public. We also chat about some excellent paths to follow to build the youngest generation of future technologists through programs like Destination Imagination.
