The document discusses recent developments in information technology presented by Muhammad Jasim. New techniques for eye-gaze tracking could improve computer interaction for those unable to use mice or touchscreens. Researchers have also developed acoustic controls for smartphones using pluggable tubes connected to the speaker and microphone to control sounds and add sensors. The document also discusses holographic computing through Microsoft HoloLens, which uses holograms that integrate with the physical world and can be shaped to fine-tune designs or learn new concepts.

The document discusses the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and how it is changing the world through automation and advanced applications. By 2020, it is estimated there will be over 50 billion internet-connected devices, far surpassing the world's population. IoT combines social media, mobile devices, analytics, and cloud computing to create new experiences by connecting everyday objects to the internet. Cloud computing and NoSQL databases are well-suited for supporting the thousands of connected devices in IoT by allowing for real-time information analysis, easy adaptation to evolving data, cost optimization, and faster development.
The document summarizes key takeaways from the SXSW conference. Some of the main topics discussed include: 1) The importance of designing technology with purpose and creating positive human experiences. 2) How collaboration between companies can drive innovation. 3) The value of not being constrained by audiences and taking creative risks. 4) The growing role of virtual and augmented reality. 5) How the rate of technological change is accelerating exponentially. 6) How cognitive computing is being applied across many domains to solve problems. 7) Emerging technologies like self-driving cars that are closer to widespread use than perceived. 8) How ubiquitous computing is already integrating technology into many aspects of life. 9) The growing role of robots and focus on
This document discusses emerging technologies and their potential impacts. It begins by noting that while technology progress is often emphasized, the social and cultural impacts are also important to consider. Several key technologies are then summarized, including smartphones and their dominance, the internet of things, digital transformation of businesses, 3D printing, robotics like self-driving cars, augmented and virtual reality, and machine learning. While the future possibilities seem vast, challenges like inequality and the environment remain, though optimism about abundance through technologies is expressed.

Futurism meets humanism in Gerd Leonhard’s ground-breaking new work of critical observation, discussing the multiple Megashifts that will radically alter not just our society and economy but our values and our biology. Wherever you stand on the scale between technomania and nostalgia for a lost world, this is a book to challenge, provoke, warn and inspire.
This document discusses the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its potential economic impact. Some key points include: - The number of connected devices is expected to reach over 14 billion by the end of 2014. - IoT will change our relationship with the physical world by connecting devices and enabling new applications. - IoT could add $10-15 trillion annually to the global GDP over the next 20 years, equivalent to today's entire US economy. - Cities will be central to IoT's development and economic benefits, as urbanization increasingly drives global prosperity.
This document discusses 10 emerging technology trends: 1) autonomous things like vehicles and drones, 2) augmented analytics combining machine learning and human judgment, 3) AI co-developers on teams, 4) digital twins merging virtual and real worlds, 5) empowered edge devices with 5G connectivity, 6) immersive experiences through VR and AR, 7) smart spaces using sensors and connectivity, 8) blockchain applications for security and transactions, 9) importance of digital privacy and ethics with new technologies, and 10) continued growth of cloud computing and potential of quantum computing. The trends highlight how technologies are becoming more intelligent, connected, and integrated with both opportunities and risks to consider.
This document discusses global digital transformation over the next 5 years. Key points include: - Exponential increases in connectivity, data, intelligence, and the convergence of man and machine through intelligent digital assistants. - Technology is developing exponentially while humans remain linear, raising questions around who will control and regulate emerging technologies. - As everything becomes connected, security, standards, ethics and rules will be crucial to address issues like addiction, privacy and the control of emerging technologies. - Embracing technology while maintaining human values and purpose will be important for responsible transformation.
The Internet of Things is one of the single biggest disruptive factors in today’s digital landscape. Companies need to plan out an IoT strategy that allows them to use data to create personalized content for customers across different channels. Boris Kraft, Chief Visionary Officer of Magnolia, will be explaining the role of the digital business platform, and how it should form the hub for a company’s web, mobile and Internet of Things initiatives.
The normal interaction with computers is with keyboard and a mouse. For display a rectangular somewhat small screen is used with 2D windowing systems. The mouse was invented more the 40 years ago and has been for 20 years dominant input. Now we are seeing new types of input devices. Multi-touch adds new dimensions and new applications. Natural user interfaces or gesture interfaces where people point to drag objects. Computers are also beginning to recognize facial expressions of people, so it knows if you are smiling. Voice and natural language understanding is getting to a usable stage. All this calls all types of new applications. Displays are getting bigger. What if any surface was a screen? If you could spray the wall with screen? Or have you phone project images to the wall. This lectures explores some of these new types of interactions with computers and software. It makes the old mouse look old.
Gartner suggests that the "the smart machine era will be the most disruptive in the history of IT." This will include the proliferation of contextually aware, intelligent personal assistants, smart advisors (e.g. IBM -0.66% Watson), advanced global industrial systems, autonomous vehicles, etc. With sensors everywhere recording about 2.5 exabytes of data a day what will the offices of tomorrow look like. How will our collaboration change? This panel will discuss how we see smart things, big data and collaboration working together.
1. A platform business model builds value by consolidating customers onto a shared platform and simplifying market processes to reward all participants in the value network. 2. Successful platform models leverage network effects by increasing in value as more users and developers participate, and employ openness to attract developers to expand the platform's functionality through applications and services. 3. Platform businesses generate profits both directly from usage as well as indirectly from the "long tail" of applications and services developed by third-parties that add value to the overall platform ecosystem.
The document discusses the challenges and opportunities facing society in the next 10 years due to accelerating technological development. Key points: - Technological progress will continue exponentially, with billions of internet users and connected devices by 2020. - Machines will play a larger role in our lives, and more intelligent machines will impact how we live at every turn. - We are approaching a pivot point where science fiction is becoming reality in areas like translation, self-driving cars, personal assistants. - Issues around man-machine ethics and unintended consequences of new technologies will be major factors shaping humanity's future.

The document provides 10 best practices for implementing microservices based on insights from a Microservices Summit. It recommends: 1) Determining if an application truly needs to be broken into microservices; 2) Focusing on continuous delivery and automation before microservices; 3) Appointing a small team to guide architectural decisions and standard adoption. It also recommends 4) Aligning services to business processes, 5) Starting with a monolith and decomposing incrementally, 6) Moving pieces incrementally without replacing the monolith, 7) Creating a shared service repository, 8) Applying comprehensive monitoring, 9) Improving security and governance for more surfaces/complexity, and 10) Potential rewards of microservices include increased speed, agility
