Consumerization of IT

    
               It's an increasingly accepted term used to describe the growing tendency for new information technology to emerge first in the consumer market and then spread into business and government organizations.It is the way a surfer gets up in the morning, finds a gnarly wave, and rides it home. It's today's big story. It's also tomorrow's, and we can pretty much set our alarm clocks by its arrival. 
               But as we work ourselves into a daily ritual, we often find ourselves having lost track of the undercurrent. It's not that we're paying no attention to it - in fact, we're seeing it every day: the commercialization of social affairs. We even complain about it, though we often fail to acknowledge it for what it is: an equal and opposite reaction.
