Sometimes, the rush to the networked world takes
on a “ready, fire, aim” quality. But if you’re betting the ranch
(or even a part of it) on a move to the Net, success
requires a plan – and the expertise to implement it with
speed and precision. With more than 65,000 consulting and
systems integration practitioners, IBM is the world’s
number-one provider of e-business transformation services.

IBM’s Industrial Design team is thinking
“out of the box” – literally – to dream up and design
new “Net appliances” for the post-PC age. As computing
power moves to the network and touches our lives
in myriad new ways, the venerable personal computer
is morphing into a variety of specialized,
ergonomic and inconspicuous “edge of network”
computing devices. IBM’s recent creations include
concepts (shown clockwise, bottom-left to right) for
an electronic newspaper (download, roll up
and read anywhere); a PC in a hardhat with a built-in
display and wireless Internet connection;
and another you can strap over your shoulder.
