Technology develops much faster than people's mindsets

The pace of technology development is much faster than corresponding changes in the technology users' mindsets.

One example is the still relatively low spread of teleworking. Some industries have been quick to catch on, but in London offices of major banks and financial corporations it is still not the "done thing", especially for those who are very focused on career progression (and most people are).

I think there really is little rational reason for this. It will be interesting to see whether attitudes shift once senior management positions start getting filled with the younger generation, who grew up with the internet and all the freedom it can enable.
