The internet era

Some very interesting developments at work. Nokia's stated intention of morphing into an internet company is much more than just ideals to yearn for. The first visible steps we saw as employees is the IT injunct to allow access to certain internet tools, chief among them Skype and similar social software. The idea being that we cannot inculcate a passion and comfort with internet without allowing employees to explore... and if the passion doesn't exist, we can never build the mindset of being an internet company. Much the same way as holding an E61 in my hands everyday has, over time, made me comfortable with mobile technology and willing to try some new things.

Another instance of my heart brimming with pride to work for a company that follows through on what it says...
