After a couple of years in the information systems field, I am convinced that one of the fundamental drivers of innovation is the strive to overcome time and space. In other words, I think that the development of information systems was always, and still is, driven by the urge to defeat temporal and spatial constraints. While the early systems mainly were about saving time by making things faster and hosting data in one place, today's technologies are about doing it at any time and anywhere.
So why I am philosophizing about this? Well, here is another useful application for students that want to overcome spatial constraints: The online library. Cynics would call it an innovation for lazy students (and faculty alike), I call it a service that makes you more efficient and effective. Think smart and safe time!
