WHAT IS A SHIFT AND WHAT IS A DRIFT?

• What is a Shift? What is a Drift?
• Does it obviously help you save money?
• Does it obviously help you make money?
• Does it just seem to replace something else in a new way?

HOW IMPORTANT IS OBVIOUS ECONOMIC IMPACT? 

• Is “We can respond to the business faster” just code for “We’re not sure what the impact will be?” How many new ideas happen per year?
• Why aren’t TCO or ROI more obvious with every new technology?
• Mainframe (shift), Mini (drift), PC (drift?), Mobile (drift?), Virtualization (shift), Serverless (drift), Kubernetes (drift), AI (shift)
