Convenience Computing

Making it easier to just do it

Welcome

What is Convenience Computing - well it is a term that I coined in the mid 1990s when delivering a talk (the tiger on our tail talk) on the convergence of mobile devices, mobile data networks and computing power. I basically said the traditional computing model where you had to go to where the computer was to use it and go through hoops to get it powered on and available to use would soon be dead and replaced by mobile computing devices you just picked up and used which would always be connected. It took a few years to come to fruition but we are now beginning to live in a Convenience Computing world.

This is the home of my blog where I will rant on about all things Convenience Computing related. Some posts will be at a consumer level, Some mildly technical and others will be deep and highly technical depending on the subject matter.

Who am I. Well I am Garry Whittaker a veteran of the IT wars be they binary v hex, 6502 v z80, Commodore v Atari, Windows V Mac, VB v C#, .net v Java, cloud v on-premises or the countless others that have been fought in my 30 years in the industry. I run a company that amongst its claims to fame does the mobile systems for Microsoft's European TechEd event. I write for The DigitalLifestyle.com on the Connected Home  and I'm also a Microsoft MVP.

When I'm not doing all that I consult on future Technologies and also am an expert on Software Development Management,

So now you know.
