Leave a Comment Recently we had an opportunity to listen to two great thinkers expert in their own domain. Let me describe what is coming up there in next 5-10 years from now.
Brian Levy, CTO, HP
He was emphasizing about mass customization. What is it?
Previous technology had been developed in view of fitting to all. There was no personalization about the technology. No demograhy, age brackets were considered for making the products. The most of the users have no choice.
The present technological changes have proved that this cannot sustain for long time because human needs are different. The device world is transforming to personal world. Now most of the people wants to be connected anytime and anywhere to their family, work and community. The present era tells us that “connectivity is everything”
There are four places in which the breakthrough is expected
- My Persona
- My Entertainment
- My Community
- My Communication
These are the four dimensions of the diamond. The individual is interwoven across this dimensions.
The basic gist of the presentation is to connect human rather than devices.
He also highlighted the trust paradigm which represents the center of trust is different for different geographies. Those are network service providers within those geographies in whom people trust for the future services and connectivity.
David J Farber, The GodFather of IP Network
His perspective was toward the future of telecommunication industry, current research challenges and opportunities and the business.
He speaks in typical professor language so sometimes difficult to follow, but he really shared a good ideas with us.
The current IP network cannot support gigabit speed network, so there is a need to develop a completely new kind of protocol or enhanced the existing one. In doing so, there are many things down the line have to be changed.
He is looking forward to photonic networks in the future.
He also talked a little bit about “Snow Crash” authored by Neal Stephenson. The book is really interesting and one should read it.
And he talked a lot about federal laws for bandwidth allocation and current scenario for the same as there is a sale of 700 MHz radio.
