Are You Ready for What Will Happen in the Next Twenty Years?

February 27, 2015 By Tom Mungavan Leave a Comment

MS_Vision004Technology continues to move quickly. Before we know it, today will seem very old fashioned. A six-minute Microsoft video demonstrates what is close at hand.

Technology Hot Buttons are:

  • Augmented Reality
  • Wearables
  • Edge to Edge Displays
  • Foldable /Fabric displays
  • Ubiquitous Computing
  • Seamless Workflow
  • Multi-modal User Interfaces and Input Devices
  • Operating System Sublimation

MS_Vision002I am fortunate to have my chief technology person, Loren, keeping me informed on what is coming down the road. He shared this video with me that I suspect you will enjoy and find it mind stretching. Go to Vision of the Future and press the PLAY button.

Twenty Years of Apple History … Bankruptcy to the Biggest

If there is any doubt about how fast technology can change and a company’s fortunes along with it; look at Apple.  Twenty years ago Apple had a fraction of the market, failed products, and little hope of success. Today they show record profits,the largest market capitalization, and a stock ratio that assumes there is no end in sight. Looking back over a few short years we see:

  • 2010 – The iPad was released to market with great doubt about whether it was something people would use.
  • 2007 – The iPhone was announced along with a new business model that has changed mobile computing forever.
  • 2005 – Motorola released the first phone with iTunes.
  • 2001 – The very basic iPod was announced into a market filled with hundreds of competitors.
  • 2000 – Bill Gates had bailed out Steve Jobs three times to avoid bankruptcy.
  • 1993  – Apple delivered the Newton MessagePad that was deemed a market failure

Apple’s story is only one example of what can happen in twenty years.

Are you ready for what will happen in the next twenty years?
