Hi folks, this is my very first blog entry written in English. I do this for two reasons: 1.) my previous blog entry was about my undoubtedly poor spoken English. I cannot afford to be treated as a stupid jerk, so this is to prove that I do have some English knowledge even if I get tricked almost every time I ask for a cup of coffe at Starbucks. 2.) it is high time for me to give something to the international public to comment to. Embarrassing, but my only English language comments came from spammers, and spammers only. What if I write something which is worth to think about? Will I have valuable comments? I'm really curious about it!
So to grab attention of a wider public, I start with the story of the Polish plumber. The term, Polish plumber means somebody from Eastern Europe, mostly with blond hair and blue eyes who invades the western market by using lower tariffs, working more flexibly (even at night), and - by the way - achieving better quality than the "aborigines".
Ladies and gentleman, I'm a Polish plumber - from Hungary
, working solely in the IT training business.
Not only I'm blond and have blue eyes, but I'm less expensive, more flexible and - by the way - give better quality than ordinal training centers all around the world. (Better quality: this is because I live and breathe adult training and training methodology while my competitors are focusing on some other aspects of the training business like perfect invoicing
, smooth business process
and other rather unimportant parts, but definitely not the trainings themselves.) Ok, all right, but how can I invade the whole earth? This is the point when cloud computing gets into the picture. I was virtually locked into my country before Microsoft started his cloud computing services. No matter how hard I wanted to break out, there was many-many enormous obstacles in the way. Should I (have) invade the world personaly, by travelling around the globe with my trainings? Well, this would be very costly for me and it would have taken so many years to spread the globe. Should I (have) invade it online? This was not feasible until now because of the restricted bandwith of Hungary. Imagine this: the whole population of the country has less international bandwith than LiveJasmin.com alone - which happens to be a Hungarian invention in pornography. Ten million people vs. 1 f.c.ing (treat it literally, I'm nort cursing. Far from it!) website. What a shame!
But what happens when all blond, blue eyed badmashes get unlimited storage and bandwith capacity over the internet? What will happen when building a new or competitive online service costs just nothing? Does anyone investigated the economical effect of this? Butchery.
Any comments on this?
