The Future Is Faster Than You Think Book SummaryPrasad Kaushik
This book is about formerly independent exponentially accelerating technologies beginning to converge with other independent waves of exponentially accelerating technologies. Its greatest value is in its exploration of the impact of convergence across multiple industries.
Internet of NO things is the point where the internet becomes part of our environment and therefore ceases to be. We think that it is likely that – as soon as in 10-15 years’ time – smartphones and the internet will have disappeared. Its a very different world.
Peter Diamandis slides 18-1 e le Organizzazioni a crescita esponenzialeRilevanteam
In passato ci volevano vent'anni per creare un business da un miliardo di dollari.
Groupon l'ha fatto in diciotto mesi !
Quella che abbiamo davanti è una nuova tipologia di aziende: le "organizzazioni esponenziali", che polverizzano i tempi di crescita mediante le tecnologie, e contemporaneamente riducendo i costi in modo esponenziale.Le Organizzazioni Esponenziali sono quelle organizzazioni che hanno saputo sfruttare queste opportunità, orientandosi verso un paradigma basato sulla tecnologia.
Stessa storia è successa a Nokia, azienda finlandese colosso della telefonia mobile che, dopo l’avvento nel 2007 dell’Iphone (uno degli episodi più rappresentativi della storia del business) decise di investire - due anni dopo (2009) - ben 8,1 miliardi di dollari in Navteq, la prima azienda a commercializzare dati di navigazione e mappatura stradale.
Navteq controllava quattrocentomila chilometri di sensori del traffico in 35 grandi città e 13 Paesi. L’azienda finlandese era convinta che investire in questo asset sarebbe stata la scelta “strategica” migliore per respingere l’avanzata di Google e Apple e rafforzare la propria quota di mercato.
Poi un giorno, in Israele, nasceva Waze che, invece di puntare sulle infrastrutture fisiche, raccoglieva i dati e le informazioni che gli utenti, attraverso gli smartphone, inviavano in tempo reale. Il costo marginale (ossia ogni fonte in più di informazione) era pari a 0, a differenza del sistema messo su da Nokia. Il resto della storia già la conosciamo.
Il successo di Waze e delle Organizzazioni Esponenziali è dovuto a due fattori chiave:
L’accesso a risorse non di proprietà
L’informazione è l’asset migliore
Siamo in un’epoca in cui ogni aspetto della nostra vita si sta informatizzando e l’ambiente intorno a noi crea infinite opportunità. Anche le organizzazioni nei mercati più tradizionali devono esser pronte a cambiar pagina se vogliono sopravvivere !

The revolution around the corner - How the Internet of Things changes everyth...Martin Spindler
The slides for my talk at re:publica 2012. From the description of the talk:
Streetlights are online, geiger counters are. Fridges are online for the better part of the last ten years and cars are just now coming online. There’s hardly any consumer electronics left that aren’t in some way communicating on the internet. And with chips getting ever cheaper and ever smaller, even lightbulbs now communicate with the smart phone. There’s houses that tweet and pill cases that send SMS. All in all, there’s more “Things” on the mobile phone networks now than people. Everything’s connected it seems.
How about a little help then in setting it all into context?
These are the slides for the Feb 1, 2012 class of "The Politics of the Internet," which is being taught at the Harvard Kennedy School by Micah L. Sifry. The slides contain a link to the audio file of the class lecture and discussion. The main topic is how the shift from scarcity to abundance is disrupting old societal models in favor of new ones.
Presentation gives an insight into Moore's law and it's successful 50 years.
An account on what Moore's law is, how we keep pace with Moore's law, and what future holds for it is detailed out in the slides.
For the most time of human history, life was local and linear. Local in the way that anything that happened was close by, a least within a walking distance. Linear in the way that your life was the same as your father and your childs. Nothing changed.
Just like the evolution of man, technology improvements follow an evolutionary progress. New ideas or products are to begin with immature and fragile with slow improvements. Then the progress accelerates until the products become mature and taken for granted. Then the cycle repeats and a new layer of technology is added to the previous. This process is exponential. One such observation of exponential is Moore’s Law.
Any new technology that gets wide acceptance in society needs to be adopted by people. We will explore that type of people are the first to adopt new things, and what types come later.
At any given moment it is easy to look back to see how technology has changed over time. At the same time it is difficult to see what transformations are taking place in current moment, and even more difficult to see where things are going.
In the late 19th century a revolution in science took off. It was easy to see the vast number of inventions and entrepreneurial spirit of the time. At the dawn of the 20th century, it seems that everything had been invented. Yet, in the 20th century we saw more innovations and more technologically advanced than in all history of mankind before that. Never in history have we seen such dramatic changes in the way people live and work.
In this lecture we explore what to make of technology. We define the term we will use in the course. Terms defined are technology, product performance, and innovation to name few.

A SuperMinds 2014 Talk by Tim Verbelen (iMinds - IBCN – UGent).
Currently Cloud Computing is a hot topic in computer science. Recently, with the rising popularity of wearable and smart devices, resources are not only clustered in datacenters, but are also present everywhere around you: Instead of a distant Cloud you are surrounded by a Fog. However, since the beginning of computer networks, people already had the vision of intelligent interconnected devices everywhere. Are we there yet, and what are the challenges still to be tackled?
Imagine a world where everything you have doubles every two years without fail, this is the world Gordon Moore created for us in 1965. Today it quietly governs everything we do by controlling everyday items from toasters to our cars all while deflating our economy at rate which man has never seen before, but for how long can Gordon’s magic continue before Moore’s Law becomes Moore’s Wall?
In 2008 Internet-connected devices that can communicate with physical world without human involvement outnumbered those still require human operator. Internet of People became Internet of Things (IoT). How does it shape our world and what IT industry should be prepared for?

Bbva open mind-book-change-19-key-essays-on-how-internet-is-changing-our-live...FTSA Academy
Change: 19 Key Essays on How the Internet Is Changing Our Lives, is the sixth issue of BBVA’s annual series devoted to explore the key issues of our time. This year, our chosen theme is the Internet, the single most powerful vector of change in recent history. In the words of Arthur C Clarke, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” The swiftness and reach of the changes wrought by the Internet indeed have a touch of magic about them.
For the most time of human history, life was local and linear. Local in the way that anything that happened was close by, a least within a walking distance. Linear in the way that your life was the same as your parents and your children. Nothing ever changed.
Just like the evolution of man, technology improvements follow an evolutionary progress. New ideas or products are to begin with immature and fragile with slow improvements. Then the progress accelerates until the products become mature and taken for granted. Then the cycle repeats and a new layer of technology is added to the previous. This process is exponential. One such observation of exponential is Moore’s Law.
We will explore what exponential means. We look at Moore´s law and The Law of the Accelerating returns.

Seattle Interactive Conference: Beyond 2020 The Shape of Things to ComeGlen Hiemstra
Glen Hiemstra, Founder and CEO of Futurist.com, speaks to 2013 Seattle Interactive tech conference. Glen takes us over the horizon into the world of the future. Let’s imagine that the issues of transparency, privacy, data security, openness and information ownership have been solved more or less satisfactorily by 2020. Beyond that, what are the possibilities? How about a world of 3D hyperconnectivity, where the concept of online and offline have effectively disappeared. A world where the merging of information technology, nanotechnology, biotechnology, robotics and cognitive sciences can bring us to the edge of a new age. If, and it is a big if, we can leverage these technologies and the social and political landscape to solve the great challenges of energy, sustainability, and income disparity. Are we ready to build a preferred future?

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

2. The Scope of Technology Today
1.25 billion active users on
Facebook each month,
spending an average of 21
minutes per day
Average U.S. adult spends 5
hours and 46 minutes on
computing devices per day
50% of all Internet users are
in the Asia region
Every Second
3. Broadband Trends
More mobile (smartphone)
users than desktop/tablet
users for accessing Internet.
The Central Coast receives a
“D” grade for broadband.
4. Moore’s Law
“the number of transistors on an integrated
circuit have been doubling roughly every 18 to
24 months.”
“We won't experience 100 years of progress
in the 21st century — it will be more like
20,000 years of progress”
Ray Kurzweil
Author, entrepreneur, futurist and inventor
In just 40 years, the technology experienced a 100
billion-fold improvement,
right on schedule for Moore's Law.
2012
7.1 billion
transistors,
a gate length of 28
nanometers. Cost
.0000001 per
transistor.
1958
First circuit
consisted of 2
transistors.
54 Years
5. We now have the ability to sequence a full human
genome for under $1,000.
The technology is developing at 3x the rate of
Moore’s Law.
6. 3D Printing
You can 3D print just about anything these days from 300
different materials... Plastics, metals, concrete, chocolates,
human cells...
3D Printing will become mainstream in the next few years –
you will be able to print replacement parts for appliances,
create your own jewelry, replace lost keys, etc.
3D printing technologies will create far more disruption
than it is being credited with, and we’ve barely begun to
scratch the surface of what it’s capabilities will be.
7. Artificial Intelligence
We are still in the early days of artificial intelligence. Tens of billions
of capital have being poured into an AI “arms race” over the last
decade.
One fun recent example is Tesla’s “autopilot” software upgrade
that just came out – their AI can drive you autonomously on the
highway.
10. Kurzweil’s Predictions
Self-driving cars will take over and humans won’t
be allowed to drive on highways
Humans will become hybrids in the 2030’s with
brains connecting directly to the cloud
Nanobots will become smarter than current
medical technology by 2020’s
11. Future of Technology
"As I wrote starting 20 years ago,
technology is a double-edged sword,"
he said. "Fire kept us warm and cooked
our food but also burnt down our
houses. Every technology has had its
promise and peril.”
Ray Kurzweil
"Most of the threats we face come from
the progress we've made in science and
technology. We're not going to stop
making progress, or reverse it, so we must
recognize the dangers and control them.”
Stephen Hawking

Technological Threats in the next 15 years
Thank you and Brief Introduction.
CEO of Lanspeed. IT consultant for many cities, schools, businesses in region. Full time in Tech since 1990’s.
Focus will be on Computer Technology, only briefly touching on other industries where technology is having a major impact.
Looking at the future of technology is a passion of mine.
Technology is a double-edge sword. It has been immensely beneficial in many areas of society and our individual lives, however, it has also brought some negative implications for humanity.
In my opinion, technology reflects human nature – much good can come from it but it can also cause harm.
We’ll spend the majority of our time looking at advancements made in computing technology and what the next 15 years may bring.
The scope of technology has exploded over the past 10 years. Nearly half of the humans on the planet are connected to the Internet.
The average US adult spends 11 hours a day in front of a screen when you include television
The magnitude of technology’s reach is hard to fathom and the affects on our society and planet have been enormous over a very short period of time.
We are living in an era in history that will be deemed the Technology Revolution, just like the Industrial Revolution
My kids have only known life with the Internet – my generation is the bridge having lived in both.
The Internet functions because of millions of miles of connectivity, primarily via wire and wireless technologies. Fiber optics are the backbone of our connectivity.
High speed broadband has the same importance today as the development of freeways in the previous century.
Every city I consult with is exploring how they can bring more connectivity to their constituents.
Internet connectivity to homes & businesses will be reaching 1 terabit speeds by 2030.
This slide is a great example of the phenomenal growth in computing technology.
Technological advancements will only multiply even more rapidly over the next 40 years.
Google’s new Quantum Computer is 100 times faster than today’s fastest computer.
Although there are rapid advancements in computing technology, the advancements being made in genetics is advancing even more rapidly.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have just used "bio-ink" to 3D print live blood vessels.
Students at Washington University 3D printed a robotic arm for about $200. Traditional robotic limbs can run $50,000 to $70,000, and they need to be replaced as children grow.
Entire homes have been made with 3D printing in just a few days.
We are already beginning to see large displacements of certain jobs to automation and robots.
47% of all jobs in 10 years will no longer need humans.
1 in every 4 jobs in 2020 will be a tech job.
Androids will become mainstream in the 2020’s. The example above is an android made by Toshiba in 2014 that talks and moves like a human.
We will interact in a virtual world that will be almost lifelike by 2030.
Boeing has announced a revolutionary new material called microlattice that is the lightest metal ever made. It's incredibly strong, but because it's 99.99 percent air, it balances neatly on top of a dandelion.
Google's new Quantum Computer is 100 Million Times Faster Than a Normal Computer.
The U.S. military has a drone the size of a mosquito that can take video, record audio and even take DNA samples.
Ray Kurzweil is arguably the leading futurist when it comes to technology. He has an 86% accuracy rate on his predictions since the 1990’s.
As reported, "of the 147 predictions that Kurzweil has made since the 1990's, fully 115 of them have turned out to be correct, and another 12 have turned out to be "essentially correct" (off by a year or two), giving his predictions a stunning 86% accuracy rate.“
He has received 20 honorary doctorates, has been awarded honors from three U.S. presidents, and has authored 7 books (5 of which have been national bestsellers).
Kurweil has dozens of future predictions, I have listed 3 of the most interesting ones on this slide.
In the next 10 years, self-driving cars begin to take over the roads, and people won’t be allowed to drive on highways.
Kurzweil predicts that humans will become hybrids in the 2030s. That means our brains will be able to connect directly to the cloud, where there will be thousands of computers, and those computers will augment our existing intelligence. He said the brain will connect via nanobots -- tiny robots made from DNA strands.
By the late 2020’s, many diseases will go away as nanobots become smarter than current medical technology.
I am an optimist and believe that the majority of technological advancements are beneficial to humanity. However, I am also a realist and know that technology when developed for malicious purposes can be detrimental to mankind and our society.
The leading technologists of our day (including Elon Musk of Tesla and Sergey Brin of Google) recognize this and have urged caution and expressed their concerns.
I have real concerns about our over-reliance on technology and a reactive approach to security. Experts have been warning our country for years of the risks that are out there.
It would not take much for our power grid, communications and technology to be rendered completely useless.
One EMP detonation 100 miles over the U.S. could destroy much of our electronics.
There are a handful of critical “hubs” on the Internet that if one or more got destroyed, much of the country would be unable to communicate.
Cybercrime is a multi-billion dollar a year industry and it’s only growing. Some of you probably had to deal with the Cryptolocker virus in the past year.
The list below are just some of the threats that technology can have on our society in the next 15 years. I believe we will experience significant problems with all of these, that we as a society will have to deal with. Our children will be facing a world that is MUCH different than what we have had to face.
We are living in an age of significant change – possibly more so than ever before. Every two years, the amount of data produced globally is doubling!
We need visionary leadership at the national level, the local level, in our schools, and businesses. I encourage all of the cities, schools and businesses that I spend time with to look ahead, set a clear direction, establish smart goals, be accountable, be resourceful and smart. Our world and our community is changing, but I believe it can change for the better with the right leaders, bright ideas, and a willingness to adapt.
