You're right the time it takes the technologists to build these applications have dropped dramatically. That contact information application for example can be whipped up in ten minutes using the Google Forms feature in Google Docs. There's been quite a dramatic change in the last ten years. Finger touch typing means typing without having to look at the keyboard to see the letters. Yes, Anita.

Another advantage of tools like these is that development work by geeks takes less time and money, too.

Now your webmaster can have that up in a half hour, and says "is that all you can throw at me? Hey, give me something more challenging!"
