Imagine a geek from the 80’s era who just loves Bonnie Tyler to death, goes to Filipino homes to sing “Total Eclipse of the Heart” twenty times repeatedly (until the homeowners kick him out). Now, imagine him bored to death. What does he do?

He flowcharts the song!

This has got be the funniest thing I’ve seen about geeks, old school programming by using a flowchart, and incorporating something you love into your passion. That’s what makes it great, regardless if its funny, weird or sad.

In today’s world, do geeks really rule the world? Computers are now integrated in telecommunications and now we have “telephony”. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs dominated the 90’s and are today’s icons. A long time ago, I decided to shift out of I.T. and venture into sales and marketing because a long time ago before the internet revolution, no I.t. person ever became General Manager, CEO or President. Today, geeks and nerds create companies like there’s no tomorrow (except for 2012).

Technology is driving our world today and if you’re not into it, you’re out of it. Regardless of what kind of job you do or corporate position you hold, if you’re even resisting going into Facebook and LinkedIn, you’ll be cornered into a very small space which you can proudly call your market – which is getting smaller by the day.

Friedman says it correctly, “The World is Flat.” Anyone can now correspond, coommunicate and collaborate with anyone in our flat world. There are no barriers anymore, even if politics continue to pursue an intolerant manner towards flattening the world, the marketplace will just go somewhere else, resulting in a bottoming of one’s economic capacity. It doesn’t matter if you’re 15 or 50 – you need to get into computing, telecommuting and cyberspace, especially if you’re a start-up entrepreneur or a stable conglomerate. Integrate your way of business to technology. Ask stupid questions and if someone can answer those, he or she might be the right person to collaborate with. Understand what online social networking is, what online business networking sites do, what can blogging do for you and your business, what can a call center solution do that ordinary PBX systems can’t. Start with what you do best and find the technology to help and support it. Don’t do the reverse.

The world’s really in a “Total Eclipse of the Heart” nowadays. It’s not a craze – it’s reality.
