Remember in the 1970′s when the tech world was still in its infancy and engineers and developers walked in off the streets without college degrees?

In the original Toy Story – the toys didn’t understand why Buzz Lightyear thought he was real. They tried everything they could to have him “get it,” but he resisted and resisted all the cues around him until it was almost too late. Thankfully Woody saved him and Buzz finally was part of the gang. [...]

At the beginning of each New Year, leaders look to the previous year and take stock of what’s transpired and make predictions on what is to come.
