People vs. electricity


How many companies are there that claim victoriously “People are our main asset”? And how many of those actually put their brainpower in use? Imagine what would happen if there was no internet connection at your office. Would you be able to work? Or what if the whole electricity was cut off? Would all your operations stop at once?

Imagine how dependent we have become of these two assets! Lack of electricity or even internet connection can paralyze huge organizations though they claim people are their main asset. Since when have people needed electricity to operate? It’s not like you can pull a plug and your brain stops working.

How could we build work patterns that would be independent of anything else than interdependence of people?

Oh wait, I need to check my email…
