Digital 2.0

Dealing_with_Darwin: 『Dateline Davos: The Future of the Technology Sector』に、Digital 2.0の議論が紹介されている。

Yesterday I had the good fortune to moderate a Davos session on the future of technology where the panelists were Bill Gates, John Chambers, Eric Schmidt, and Niklas Zennstrom.

1. The core enabling resources of IT--computing, memory, bandwidth--are asymptotically apporaching zero. For scenario planning purposes, assume they are free. (This is where Moore's Law continues to have its impact.)

2. Expect the digitization of everything. Either digital format will substitute for a prior analog reality, as in media, or it will serve as a proxy for the underlying reality, be that a natural resource, a customer order in transit, or a physical meeting. This allows for the full repertoire of computing to be applied to value creating metamorphoses, whether it be enhancing sensory impact, improving consumer experience, detecting change triggers, or the like.

3. Expect the value proposition of IT to migrate from enabling transactions to enabling interactions, whether it be in customer service applications, design collaborations, or self-calibrating sensor-enabled systems. This allows for iterative processes to have shorter and shorter cycle times, resulting in better understanding, faster time to market, more reliable operations, and the like.
