Nerds are raised on sci-fi. I was. They keep waiting for the future to happen. Scouring for "new technologies" is sometimes called "scouting." It's really important for a company to appoint "scounters." Then everyone else knows "scouting" is not in their job descriptions. Then they start to focus. Many organizations never graduate from future fetishism.
