Quotes:

IT becomes an increasingly throwaway business. 
Forget complex processor technology or clever storage solutions.
Install massive redundancy of cheap commodity gear.

Just about every major company funds a junkyard
 of application systems and technologies attached to them.
Depression-level economics will force line managers
 to actually take charge of this expense they unknowingly caused.

-- 
There is no perl one line hack
 that a page of java won't do more elegantly.
