Hi Malcomex999,

I think you may be changing the subject. My query is not about "cloud computing" and "the future of computing or the Internet"... it is about business culture today.

It seems you are not living or working in India, or even a developing country with conservative business and cultural norms.

Where do you live and work?

Have you been to India and worked there? Thailand? Vietnam? Burma? Malaysia?

There is a huge difference, in most countries, especially developing ones, between technology and business culture.

For example, in Thailand most IT people in large companies are still required to show up for work with a dress shirt and neck tie, even if they are working in a computer lab. There are a few exceptions because the business culture is different. It is not like in the US where in most big companies these days, IT people can dress very casual.

Also, Japan, which is very modern, has a similar dress code and strict office culture. The business culture in Japan is based around the office and not remote home-office work. Having a high speed Internet nearly everywhere and one of the most advanced technology infrastructures in Japan does not mean the business culture is "cloud computing" LOL.

Hahaha... when I used to work in Tokyo, my Japan colleague carried a red neck tie around for me in his briefcase; because I never wore one; and he insisted I had to put one on to visit a Japanese client. I really liked that guy; he was junior to me in the company but I always put the neck tie on when he asked, since he knew JP culture much better than me, a relatively dumb westerner (about JP business culture).

PS: I really like Japan, but working there can be very stressful! I will be back there in early spring of 2011.
