We are all working harder and harder, and many of us have reached our limit. Giving us a faster more powerful laptop might make a marginal gain, and faster broadband complemented by smarter search engines might add a few more percentage points to our productivity, but the big ITC gains have been won. We have become the limiters of work output and not our technology. The technology now waits for us and not the other way around.
To make the next leap in productivity and creativity we need help – specifically, we need machine help! Men and women alike need a third intelligence – a new way of thinking – a new perspective – and a new route to problem solving and creativity. So where will it com from, or in other words, why is my laptop, PC, Pad, Tablet so dumb?
Even with Moore's Law continuing at it's present rate or accelerating, true machine intelligence will remain largely embedded in our networks. The good news is; it will soon be available as a commercial service in The Cloud. Much later, it is likely to appear in our devices to perform specific tasks related to our work, health, life and leasure. In both cases the primary key is sensors, sensor networks, and adaptability of software and hardware.

2. It has an abundance of:
- processing power
- memory
- RAM
- network access
- WWW information
Friday, 16 March 12
3. But it acts dumb and
doesn’t:
- learn my habits
- anticipate my needs
- correct my errors
- learn from mistakes
- monitor me and my life

4. But why even as the
question ?

5. We cannot work any
faster or any harder -
we have reached the
end of the line ?

9. We face a tide complexity,
non-linearity & chaos... and
biologically we are not going
to get any smarter...

10. We have no general
math or theoretical
framework to fall
back on...
...that can cope with the
problems we face

11. And we live at a time
of greater achievement
and creativity than any
other...
...at no time in the past has
humanity discovered, understood
or created so much...

12. Just a small
selection
of things we really
don’t understand

13. In order to move on
we need a new
approach...
...help from new intelligences that
see the world from a different
perspective...

14. Old systems & methods
are extremely unlikely to
be able to help...or cope
with the demands and
changes to come...

Intelligence today...

Ic ~ k log2[1 + K.A.S ( 1 + P.M )]
S = Sensor, A = Actuator, P = Processor, M = Memory

59. So why isn’t my laptop intelligent?

60. So why isn’t my laptop intelligent?
How about:
- sensors?
- adaptability?

61. But we are rolling out intelligent sensors!

62. But we are rolling out intelligent sensors!
And our machines will see, hear, smell….
…detect and communicate in a way and
at a rate we cannot!
