It’s hard to believe 20 years have flown by since the publication of The Digital Economy. The prescience of Don Tapscott’s views of how the Internet would change our professional and personal lives was unparalleled. Don and I spent considerable time discussing how the world would transform itself and how I could use this perspective to help transform Oracle. Looking back, I’m thankful to have such a visionary as part of my life. Sep 29, 2014
