[LINK] Clouds.. IBM, Microsoft, Amazon and Google

[Frank O'Connor]

Mmmm ...

But that's because all these new fangled, prissy and 'head in the clouds' technology thingies will never have an impact on, or be needed in, Australia. In the Land of Oz we've finally got back to the norm, we're looking back to the future and for the next century or so of LNP Rule ... which we like to refer to as the Hundred Year Reich ...we will promote our 'Man from Snowy River' technology ("Wait'll you see what those new blacksmith shops can do, Boy! .. And the horses nowadays - they go like the wind!) and offer ourselves as a tourist destination for those of a retrospective bent.

The fact that the tourists won't be able to communicate as they are accustomed to with the rest of the world will simply add to the rustic charm of their trip.

This is our vision. This is 'Australia 2020'. As technological backwaters go, we'll be the best in the world. World's Best Practice, Baby ... Yeah!!!!

Just my 2 cents worth ...
