Dr. LeClaire has introduced several interesting topics this week in his lecture. For the Discussion, Id like for you to pick one of these topics and expand on it using your own knowledge and experiences. For example, what do you think about his instruction to begin with the customer and work back in your technology planning? What about sabotaging technology projects and its justifications? What impact has increase reliance upon technology had upon workforce education and performance expectations from management?
