“Newly crowned Hewlett-Packard chairwoman Carly Fiorina said
Tuesday that the world is now entering the “renaissance of the
information age” — a time when emerging technologies and an
“always-on Internet” could transform customer experience and even
entire industries.”

“Fiorina said Internet technology businesses must embrace these
new demands and implement strategies, such as open systems and
open-source software, to accommodate the changing tech sector. “The
technology landscape is shifting in fundamental ways,” she said. “A
new game is emerging … and the rules of competition are
changing.”

“She also said open-source software, such as Linux, is
another key element in this new world. “It is at its core open,”
Fiorina said, adding that “this movement, of course, goes far
beyond Linux.”
