The App is Mightier Than the Mainframe

"There is a story that Google chief information officer Ben Fried likes to tell about his old job, as the managing director of Morgan Stanley. "There was this intern who came to work in the research department one summer," Fried says. "After a couple of days of orientation and getting a good look at the technology that the IT department had given him, one day this guy decides to come in with his own computer and a great big monitor. He sets it up at an empty desk near the window, and he plugs in a cellular modem to get online. He never connected to the company network at all. He used all of his own technology. And you know what? He was the highest-rated intern in his class."
