that is a new future of technology that's going to be broadly adopted that will allow us to use our phone and it'll do stuff when you have sort of proximity to things right.

The Future of Technology and Its Impact on Work Part - 6

I was talking I was thinking about this years ago and I always wonder why it didn't happen faster and there's lots of reasons why it didn't why this is so I got a blackberry here I'm kind of dated right I'm waiting for the iPhone.

So maybe I get that so the so why isn't this my wallet why can't I pay for stuff and these are my passports well I haven't been able to but there's growing evidence that it certainly will be the future wallet right and near for near-field communications that is a new future of technology that's going to be broadly adopted that will allow us to use our phone and it'll do stuff when you have sort of proximity to things right.

So you're walking up to a dispensing machine for a drink you simply would wave your cell phone across it and it knows to deduct the money and this you know then dispense the drink or the item that you're wanting to buy got all sorts of implications in terms of entering buildings entering your car potentially you know all sorts of ports of control.

I'm clearly probably under thinking near full of communications that would be my expectation I think the changes will be more profound that even we may be in this room I laugh I give you more credit I give myself I probably can't think sufficiently about the implications of near-field communications.

We talked about the wallet of course geo placation right folks here used in something like gowalla or Foursquare and yes some people sort of checking into the location really interesting you know we're still trying to figure out the value proposition.

But it's there's some neat things in there that that kind of in terms of marketing in terms of I'll tell you this story I was in Mexico over the holidays this pathologies sitting by myself actually that happens in a in a restaurant and I was as he do when you're kind of sitting between courses.

And I know it's I was on my phone doing looking at Facebook and things like that and I happened to check into the restaurant and I had a special offer and it said you know it looks interesting when it's said if you if you want if you talk to the manager you'll get a free drink.

Foursquare is the ultimate application it's the business proposition is now clear.

You know what I'm not gonna talk about cloud in any detail for the simple reason that there's people here who are gonna do a better job at it and actually some of them have their presentation almost just on cloud so it's something I'd rather sort of just high-level.

I you know so if you remember from my quick five-minute ignite presentation it was about big numbers and the fact that when you have lots of people connected and generating masses of information you're collecting that information and futurist speaker is able to begin to do and see new things in the data right.

See new patterns and this is happening not just on individuals it's a societal level but also in businesses collecting enormous amounts of information you know you think about a supply chain or the company like Walmart where a single product moves through the supply chain and it keeps getting caused because of RFID.

It keeps getting logged in the system and it's state and its location and different attributes of it for every and you know they have a lot of products with their collective all the information they could begin to mine that information and make decisions about the future of technology.

How their products are distributed etc and so the art and science of understanding data is a core discipline for America the thing I probably will get this will make talk about this the notion of where is the work for Americans in and years and beyond Daniel pink talks about this I think he's got it's spot on it's about right brain thinking.

There's no doubt if we continue to do commodity work stuff that's easily repeatable and quantitative it will it won't live in America probably in the future of technology but if we do things that are creative qualitative then there is a great potential for us to do well and because this is entertainment media that should hopefully resonate very.

Well we continue to lead in that space of all the countries in the world are entertainment businesses its unmatched right and so that's a consequence of right brain thinking the future of technology really is around mobile it can't be underestimated okay so I'll just repeat some of the numbers because that went really fast earlier these are stunning daunting numbers.

There are five billion cell phones in the world now I'll grant you two things some people have more than one phone right and some people have multiple subscriptions of one phone right so the numbers but give or take a few hundred million.

It's still a lot right it's still billions of users there's the only thing bigger than that well there's nothing bigger than that right there's never been future of technology bigger than that and that and of itself is a key characteristic that you have to consider so what about mobile I wanted to kind of dig a little deeper because this is such an important space it doesn't matter.

I don't care what business you're in or what business you go into and particularly in entertainment media the mobile is a major player how you consume content how its distributed these things have to be recognized and understood so a couple of the upcoming things that are important near field communications.

I think I got it in thank you if you do that a few times it gets easier okay so and if you missed some of that futurist speaker on YouTube right now

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I think I got it in thank you if you do that a few times it gets easier okay so and if you missed some of that futurist speaker on YouTube right now I'm so you can just search my name and ignite and it'll come up and you can watch it again verified all the stats.

So it's good information that you can you can bank on it okay so what I'm going to do is I think I'm gonna just kind of do a little bit of a deeper dive and some of the tank I just talked about and then Tony and I gonna have a chat a fireside chat and we'll talk about some more stuff. So what are the what are the likely

I say likely because no way you kind of predict the future of technology but it's it can be very unpredictable that's the one thing we know about it we certainly as I think Bill Gates wrote in his autobiography book we overestimate the next couple years but we underestimate the next years and that's gotta be true today.

If you look at what's happening in terms of future of technology the biggest impact in this I'm fairly comfortable with given the data the biggest influence on future of technology is demographics.

It impacts absolutely everything from energy which is going to be the subject of our time through to climate change all the subjects that we are kind of grappling with our components of demographics and if you understand demographics.

You will have a better sense of where things are headed a couple of things to think about first of all the world is kind of divided between populations big countries and populations that are decreasing rapidly and countries and populations that are increasing rapidly.

So all you got to do is kind of look at the countries that fall into those buckets and see where the future of technology will be emerging a lot of these sort of developed world is on the on a downward slide the only reason America is growing a population is because of immigration if we stopped immigration we'd start to our.

We were about million people right now start to drop in population very quickly. If you look at a country like countries like Japan and Russia their populations are rapidly dropping in fact if you look at Russia and if nothing changes of course it will I'll talk about that in a moment they basically go to zero there's no one living in Russia because of just the rate of replacement of new of NEET babies.

Now what's happening is we're seeing migrations of people. So we're seeing a migration from the south to the north of the planet and that's changing the very nature and makeup of our world but there's a reason why we're seeing one of the real important inputs around change in the Middle East is there's very good political reasons but a lot of it is because most of the populations are under years old.

You know they've completely new outlook they never lived in a world in which things were completely different and they want a completely different future of technology so if you have the bulk of a population educated informed and empowered through things like Twitter and Facebook and with mobile phones anything is possible.

So let's move on I could talk about demographics for an awful long time the next big subject that I think is important and this plays directly to career choices and potential opportunity for the United States and that's around data.

So those are two important things that I think helped me get to this point so what am I going to do because Futurist Speaker have so

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
So those are two important things that I think helped me get to this point so what am I going to do because Futurist Speaker have so little time but I want to do some fun stuff here there is a type of entertainment we'll call it that a Reilly media does it's there are other organizations that do this so we have our own flavor out it's called ignite and it's a constrained presentation and it's really interesting.

I almost think all presentations should be like this because it forces you to talk about the things are important and stop right and so ignite is five minutes long it's slide slides of seconds each so I'm gonna start it here in a second and the thing about it is I have to go as fast as the presentation so if Futurist Speaker screw up I stutter or something happens I'm in trouble.

Now I've given it and it was received very well and I thought this is a great way to be able to talk about the topic that's Tony wanted me to cover so we'll see how it goes I hope you enjoy it wish me luck okay so I have to stand here because I actually have to see the slides to be able to know which one I'm talking to so what this is I hope you'll indulge me indulge me for five minutes I'm gonna talk about mind-blowing world-changing future of technology by the numbers.

Because this really is a is an amazing time for future of technology technology's always impacted the world but what's different today is the reach and the extent of it how it's impacting everybody in tremendous ways so future of technology is amazing this is a golden age for technology so I want to start with some stats to get you started so last year we all sent out a hundred and seven trillion emails right of which by the way eighty-nine percent was spam.

We've created million websites and we create million new websites every single year we love to blog everybody's writing about tons of stuff we've written million blogs and we're creating , new blogs every single day eight million people follow Lady Gaga on Twitter that's an astounding number so the rate of adoption is really fast right it took it's sorry to get million subscribers it took the radio years it took the television years and took the internet for years to get million subscribers.

So what we see is huge adoption million people bought iPods in just two years and in terms of the iPad. million iPad sold in just about four days so we're adopting technology at this amazing rate and these future of technology companies have huge impacts some of them are here today you add these five companies together.

You get a market capitalization of one trillion dollars there's only countries in the world that have a he higher than trillion dollars countries less than that if Facebook was a country it would be the third largest country in the world it's got million people involved in it and by the end of this year it's likely to have a billion participants.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This is Futurist Speaker you just a quick intro for future of technology you got to know who our Riley media is prior to that a long distinguished career with PwC and as I was saying Thomas Frey to open this up Thomas Frey and I had a similar wealth we're both Irish so you got to call your buddies that's the first thing and the second thing is we both had a career in consulting and he's interested in coming to O'Reilly was I've talked a lot about strategy and now I get the opportunity to execute.

So he's going to give us not only the perspective on technology but when we sit down a little bit of what's it really like to be a CIO and what is the role of CI over time Johnson Regan Carla thank you thank you very much so I'm the first speaker at the first event that's some pressure but I'm so delighted and honored to be able to do that apparently there's about people on Ustream so that's kind of neat right now and I just wanted to do this because it'll be a bit of fun.

I'm gonna say hi to my dad who is sitting in his in his house in Ireland in Dublin and so hopefully zombies watching so he'll be able to see what I do over here you know from time to time I speak about it so I got Tony approached me and said would you talk about future of technology in the future technology its impact on work and I thought I would have four or five hours I have minutes so I thought how do I do that and I'm gonna do something a little bit different this morning to be able to go through the universe of technology really quickly.

So I just say yeah it was like thought we were useful to talk a little bit about my background and extent how I arrived at this stage today in my life and so yes I'm also an immigrant to America and it's it was a terrific move and it's been a great adventure and it continues to be an adventure I have I spent the good deal of my time here at Futurist Speaker doing a lot of IT in the back office went on to do IT innovation.

Also then worked with many companies out there in terms of consulting and helping them think about future of technology and IT innovation and enjoyed that a lot then I had this opportunity to go to a Riley and convert sort of big thoughts and thinking into action and you know it's one thing to talk about cloud computing and quite another to create the strategy and implement it and so that's what I'm doing right now.

I really I'm enjoying that a lot I think there's kind of two things that helped me get to this point and it's time still a work in progress which is education for sure no doubt I did a lot of I went to school and didn't stop and kept going and going and that's really paid dividends back to me in amazing ways it opened doors.

You know it's they say there's one thing to have a degree in sit at the table but once you open your mouth it's you know all bets are off it's what you say and what you do that really matters but it certainly opened doors and has helped Futurist Speaker a lot I think Communications was another key skill being able to talk about future of technology things in a language that larger audiences can understand you can be really technical and talk to audiences and lose everybody and that won't help you in making proposals and convincing people to make decisions.

They're doing all sorts of fun things on their collaborating and gaming right this is a this is cold Futurist Speaker here and there's a suite of games that rest on top of social networking that million people play every single day right who plays Farmville here who will admit to it right.

Last year we tweeted billion tweets right million people lots of people talking not a lot of people listening but it's really interesting what's happening it's a completely new channel for communicating messages Futurist Speaker are creating masses of data this is the Hadron Collider in Geneva it's a mile circle fires particles towards each other and creates trillion to terabytes of new information every second.

There's no computer information there's no computer system in the world that can actually capture that much information every second and so any captures a slight that's trillion by the way it's zeros it's a lot of data created every single second so where were things headed.

We're headed into mobile communications the future as far as we can see is all about mobile five billion people have mobile phones I think that's around % of the world and what are we doing with it we're texting sexting watching videos we're downloading games we downloaded billion iPhone apps since it was launched just a little while ago.

So the phenomena of a mobile can't be underestimated and it's empowering people here this is in Egypt here in the last couple of weeks folks powering their phones and their phones are empowering them by creating a whole new platform a whole new way to orchestrate their activities and this is something we've not seen before in this scale and social media and future of technology is influencing the political landscape and here we have the phenomenon of our very first Hawaiian president you know I'm so proud of the state.

You know say certainly he benefited from as one of his inputs new technology and future of technology is bringing people all over the world out of poverty it's providing new educational opportunities here kids are using the one PC per child million of those computers were distributed it's narrowing the digital divide and future of technology is everywhere.

It's on every continent it's enabling communities that didn't have access before it have new commerce mechanisms new ways to collaborate and engage in the world and brand new ways so this is the future what's now and it's and it's where.

We're headed what makes me excited is that this is happening now and many of these phenomena I've spoken about are just in the last year years imagine the next years and the next years if you want to learn more about new technology and where it's headed here's my Twitter handle appropriately so you can follow me and learn more about future of technology that's five minutes by the way.

The future of technology and business

Futurist Speaker were able to travel virtually to the most amazing places directly from our living room or using our mobile devices billions of devices and objects will be connected in the Internet of Things soon. Future of technology is moving inside of us becoming a part of us our contact lenses will be connected to the Internet and nano bots will be in our blood streams fixing our cholesterol life will be magical abundant full of possibilities what could be better because we know don't we that what makes us human will never change.

I know what you're thinking connectivity is like oxygen we need it to live even at the price of losing our privacy you connect the car your smart fridge your we are ablest will talk to your doctor and your insurance company yes indeed data is the new oil these exponential changes are unstoppable man and machine will converge.

We are about to transcend humanity is it creepy or useful is it heaven or is it hell what will it mean to be human in a world where everyone will need to be amplified or meant it by algorithms by computers are likely to match the capacity of the human brain perhaps even reach some kind of awareness or emotional intelligence.

Future of technology doesn't have ethics but the future of humanity depends on it we need to spend just as much time on the norms and the values of the context then we spend on future of technology itself after all the futures not just something that happens to us the future is something that we create are you ready for your future shock come with me and see where the story takes us next you.

Like many people I derive a great deal of inspiration from my grandchildren when I look at my grandchildren I feel tremendous joy but they're setting you on life's journey and they have the opportunity to do everything right especially those things I did wrong but I also have another emotion.

I'm really troubled have concern for the world that my generation of leaving behind I believe they can surmount those challenges I really believe that they will persevere and survive they will make the most of it but I feel very bad that my generation hasn't done a better job.

I try not to get caught up in that emotion of feeling like I let them down but it's hard not to because there's so much more to do there isn't that much time left and when I look at those children particularly when I see them smiling or engaged in play.

I think to myself wouldn't it be wonderful if we could experience the joy of knowing we passed the torch and it was well lit and burning brightly we haven't done it yet but I don't think it's too late I do believe we must reverse climate change or the world those children will grow up in the strife pain what they'll go through is absolutely unthinkable.

If we don't do it what does that say about us but if we do if we really help lubricate the transition into a world more stunning and sparkling than the one we've got today wouldn't we feel that cars was life well-lived if not of us who and if not now when those two questions are ones we've asked at the world Business Academy since the day we started and each time.

We ask if we get a more humbling iteration of the answer future of business is ultimately the discipline of service the service we have to perform at this time on the planet is to create the world I want my grandchildren to grow up the reason the future of business community has to accept this challenge is because business is the unique discipline that makes it possible to ground ideas and make them real.

The idea behind the great spiritual traditions is that you can take your role in society review of the place that you stand in relationship to the cosmos and somehow live a better daily life because of it future of business does that is a daily practice every day were provided the opportunity to literally take concepts and we get to put those concepts into action.

So the physical world we live in is different because we were there when we do was conscious love in our heart literally are co-creating the world that we want to live don't we all who want to create the world we dream to live and the great news is future of business is capable of making our dreams real.

So to all the dreamers never thought that business was the place they could make a difference join me why don't we become the future of business on the planet together that's why those of us who understand the enormous potential and the incredible responsibility in business apps we at the academy believe the future of business is making the future its business you.
