Many hospitals are going to a paperless document management system for storing records. The only people who might be using pen and paper are doctors with a prescription pad, which has to be scan into the system and transmitted to the pharmacy department..
I've known Nigerians with Nigerian-sounding names who became US citizens and drove taxis. Only God knows what language they scream in when Brazil is beating Nigeria in the soccer playoffs.
My bet would be quiet university dorm rooms or similar. In other words the opposite of the open plan office.
When I worked for a moving company as a PC disconnect/reconnect tech in 2011, Mark Zuckerberg's desk was out in the open and looked like any other desk on the floor. I don't recall seeing any private offices.
At one job I worked at, management installed software to remotely monitor the desktop of each workstation. One morning my supervisor came running over to inform that I can't be browsing Amazon on company time. That is until he saw that I had a breakfast burrito in hand, as company policy allowed employees to browse the Internet on their breaks. I told him to bugger off. The workaround for many employees was to buy a Wifi-enabled PDA and browse the Internet via the open access point next door. Since we were hunched over our desks while using our PDAs, management throught we were working hard as no one was browsing the Internet on their PC.
The only time it became a choice at one company that I worked for was when management wanted to replace the tall cube walls with short cube walls that allowed everyone to see everyone else. Bad enough that we had to work in bullpens, but no one wanted shorter cubicle walls. Management backed off and later decided to shut down the office to save money before the company filed for bankruptcy.
I 'know' how we setup and managed our network infrastructure, but that doesn't mean your 80,000 desktop network was setup the same as ours.
If the network has 100+ Windows computers, the network infrastructure will almost always be Windows. I've never seen a Fortune 500 company use Linux with SAMBA and OpenLDAP for the domain controllers.
But if you actually care about looking like you own a Rolex, then the problem is in you.
I haven't worn a watch in decades. I find it quite easy to accidentally smash the faceplate. The drugstores no longer carry the plastic watches for a buck.
Obamacare was designed to fail so that the ultimate goal...full government-run, single-provider healthcare...could be rolled out in the US.
Obamacare should have been a single-provider healthcare. Thanks to Republican governors insisting that their states use the federal exchange, we're already half-way there to single-provider healthcare.
You seem to be the exception rather than the rule.
Prior to Obamacare, I was paying $500 per month for company provided insurance. After Obamacare, I'm now paying $150 per month for company provided insurance. If I bought insurance on the exchange, it would be $350 per month as I don't qualify for subsidies.
Your citation has nothing to do with the dismantling of the healthcare system. In fact, you provided the exact opposite. Obamacare reformed the healthcare system. My monthly bill went from $500 per month to $150 per month. Now that's affordable healthcare.
The last Baby Boomer and the first Gen Xer will retire in 2030. Doesn't change fact that healthcare will be in great demand, young people will follow the money into healthcare, and two-thirds of the federal budget will go to Social Security and Medicare (which means taxes will have to go way up to cover everything else).
The oldest baby boomer will be 84YO and the youngest baby boomer will be 66YO in 2030. Most people are living 30 to 40 in retirement. Many baby boomers will live into their 90s and 100s.
Both are important, we need to do more with fewer workers (automation) as well as care for those who have put in their work life.
I went back to school to learn computer programming after the dot com bust. Healthcare became the new money major. So everyone and their grandparents switched from computers to healthcare. Cisco courses that had waiting lists to the waiting lists got cancelled due to a lack of students. As more baby boomers retire and the demand for healthcare increases, I expect students to follow the money major in healthcare. The last study I read suggested a 1.5M shortfall of skilled IT workers in 2030.

Where in the story did it say that the IT system in question was based on Windows?
That's typically the case. Some of my best paying IT support contracts I've done are hospitals. Job security that pays well.

"John", "George" are very common Nigerian names.
Not among the Nigerians I've known.
English is the native tongue of Nigerians.
English is the official language of the former British colony. There are 521 languages spoken in Nigeria.

You must be new around here. Turn in your geek card and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

I read somewhere that most of the "extra" employees at Twitter were in sales, chasing the almighty advertising bucks to bring in revenue.
[...] expecting profits to do nothing but rise year after year is dumb.

Those reasons didn't prevent Verizon from buying Yahoo for $4.8B.
Pretty sure he wasn't referring to 2011.
I'm pretty sure I was. ;)
Things may have changed since Facebook moved to Menlo Park.
Your friends are likely using a fake rolex, too.
All my friends wear Apple Watches. Some of them might even be real.

Sounds — and smells — like a startup.

If you can't afford a real Rolex, buy a fake Rolex for five bucks. It's not like your friends can tell the difference anyway.
Screw the ACA! I'll go outside the US for healthcare.
Never mind that most nations have a single-provider healthcare system.

1964 is GenX
This is what Wikipedia says:
Baby boomers are the demographic group born during the postâ"World War II baby boom, approximately between the years 1946 and 1964.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_boomers
Most baby boomers will be dead by 2030.
The oldest baby boomer will be 84YO and the youngest baby boomer will be 66YO in 2030. Most people are living 30 to 40 in retirement. Many baby boomers will live into their 90s and 100s.
