“640k ought to be
enough for anybody”
     By Dan Bowyer
“640k ought to be enough for anybody”
                         Bill Gates, 1981 (Allegedly)
2012




1992
We only know we exist because we interact with others
… so make each connection as authentic, giving and loving as possible

Define your „unique ability‟
… and only do that

Be passionate!!!
… about business, not the content
1950   ‘60   ’70   ’80   ’90   ’95   ’00   ’05   ’10 Now
Cheaper more reliable and faster internet is coming
       Cloud will become ubiquitous

Tech now does what is says on the tin
       The manufacturer is irrelevant
       Form factor is irrelevant
       Type of connectivity is irrelevant
       It‟s CHEEEEEAP

We are hyperconnected
       AWARENESS (we learn, constantly)
       TRANSPARENCY (no affairs boys)

We can create „shift‟ from the ground up
       Efficiently, quickly and without conflict
       … we can build businesses that create change
?
2010   ‘15   ’20   ’25   ’30   ’35   ’40   ’45   ’50
Our economy is based on infinite growth and resources
       Errrr. Let‟s put fingers in our ears and shout blah
blah blah

Money has been positioned as a little bit evil
        Hummm… There‟s nothing wrong with making
money

A political party‟s only REAL mandate is re-election
        Rigggghhht. So how can any govt. do any „good‟?

We ask people to care when they can‟t afford to eat
      Eeek. Why would they give a shit?!

The „developed‟ world is in a debt crisis
        … We are such greedy stupid dicks
1



2010   ’15       ’20   ’25   ’30
So what about Africa?
“Educate & Create Opportunity”
(Bunny hop EU/USmistakes & miss the second tech bubble burst)
(Cheaper / Better / Different / (New))

1. Energy
       Why isn‟t Cape Town the hub of renewables?

2. Manufacturing
        Why export natural resources to import the end product at
inflated prices?

3. Education
       Sell the tools and techniques to other developing countries

4. Technology
       Continue to build and invest in the tech community
       … Technology facilitates EVERYTHING
It’s all about timing.
 This is your time.
The End
