In an old ops role we had a metric called ticket touches. One of my workmates had almost double of everyone else but only for that metric. We had a look and it was due to how he wrote notes in tickets instead of putting all his findings in a comment he would do it incrementally as he went along. Neither of these ways were wrong it just inflated that stat for him.
Something I've considered for a while, it's a field of complementary skills but a different mindset. I'm not sure I want to work in the world of compliance reporting and audits.

When Google glass was announced we proposed a POC for our field and datacentre folk (Telco industry). Lack of availability killed it off as we were in Australia and never made the cut for trial. The ability to feed information to them while they can use both hands, not have a laptop balanced somewhere or not be on the phone was invaluable in theory. I'm hopeful this sort of thing can become what it has potential to but I feel it will be undercooked and die off.

Formula 1 is aiming to be carbon neutral by 2030 and engines from 2026 will be run on sustainable (ethanol based) fuels. The fleet of trucks to cart them around Europe also now run on biodiesel.
Normal NIMBY stuff we see every year at the Melbourne GP too. I'm all for their right to protest but they're not really selling me much on their subject choice.
NVH is a big contributor to perception of quality in the car world. This is a very elegant solution to a problem that probably wasn't all that high on the list.
Outside of all the security aspects which look to be handled quite well on the surface I do enjoy that the client mainframe architecture is still a staple of computing.
