I work in IT - and am working on a Cloud solution for our company. But the term 'Cloud Computing' is so 15 seconds ago -- companies are now calling it "Software Defined Datacenter" and "Software Defined IT"... But under the covers, it is the same ambiguous, vague, difficult to define concept that Cloud computing is.

But the term "Software Defined Datacenter" sounds so edgy and forward thinking -- all the CIO salivate at the mere mention of that new buzz phrase.

"Software Defined Datacenter" is the IT equivalent of what a Hipster is -- it is vague, trendy, involves a lot of money, and nobody really knows what it is all about.

So -- may I offer an alternative to the term "Hipster." How about "Software Defined Society." With the Hipster's reliance on smartphones, and their inability to solve basic mechanical tasks like changing a lightbulb, I think the term fits quite nicely, don't you?
