Which Tribe you belong?

Regardless of the Caste, Clan, Creed, Nationality, Religion etc , a person in the modern age could be part of  following classes

• Digital Tribe
• Hybrid  Tribe
• Analog Tribe

Digital Tribe - A group where members are using Digital assistance whenever possible. 

Hybrid Tribe - A group where members use some Digital assistance, but prefer traditional approach

Analog Tribe - A group where members only use traditional approach ( a vanishing group)

More and more people are joining the Digital tribe at a faster rate than before from the Hybrid group. But, for a long time, Hybrids will be around..  

One reason why Hybrids will be around because "Technology does not change what we do. It only changes the way we do things" 

I belong to Hybrid, but Analog in spirit. I do not use a Smart Phone and still prefer books over Kindles/Tablets ( Even though, I own a MAC OS X machine, an iPad , one Android etc)

But, to survive in the IT Industry, as a mainstream professional, at least in the Consulting space, one needs to be digitally adept. To improve the understanding of SMAC ( Social/Mobile/Analytics/Cloud), one needs to be part of the Digital Tribe. Or, in other words, one should leverage Digital gadgets to think about innovative ways to use them. 

Digital realm  has got vitality (at this point in time),virality and reach. Obviously, it can disrupt the way we live. 

Until, the advent of the Internet, the innovation were mostly market driven. Now, most of the innovation is Technology driven. The Consequence of this will be understood only in the next ten years.

Or Is Singularity near? ( as Kurzweil says)
