> imagine the board member saying the same thing about the PC, the internet, mobile computing, cloud computing… For the deployment of the PC, I think the vast majority of companies start from an environment where there were already terminal systems or shared workstations available, and the adoption of PCs happened as they became powerful enough to accomplish the tasks that were already being done on the larger computers. It wasn't really a "thou must use PCs, though I know not how they are useful" mandate. A better example of such a mandate can be found in education, and most of my personal experience with such thou-must-use-technology mandates has been that they've been similarly ineffective as the AI mandate.
