The Hardware Facebook Invented Is Radically Changing The $150 Billion Enterprise Market

The Hardware Facebook Invented Is Radically Changing The $150 Billion Enterprise Market | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
From www.businessinsider.com - June 16, 2015 6:46 AM
Facebook is radically changing the way technology is being built with its Open Compute Project. Here's a tour of some of the amazing new gadgets from OCP.

Via jean lievens
Farid Mheir's insight:

A good review of the open compute project from Facebook. Lots of links to follow.


WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

Everything is moving to the cloud and the OCP open source designs are the basis for servers and equipments that run cloud data centers. This is bound to increase innovation speed and reduce cost. It may also lead the way for other open sourcing of hardware projects and solutions.

Behavioral #tracking explained in 9min #video by @gary_kovacs via @TED #mustsee #PrivacyAware @dataPrivacyDay  

From www.ted.com - January 28, 2017 4:48 PM
As you surf the Web, information is being collected about you. Web tracking is not 100% evil -- personal data can make your browsing more efficient; cookies can help your favorite websites stay in business.
Farid Mheir's insight:

If you don't know what behavioral tracking is about, this may be an "awakening" video: be prepared.

 

 

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

I've been following the Firefox "collusion" add-on since its inception (it is now called "lightbeam" and you can find it here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/lightbeam/). I use it on a regular basis to remember the digital breadcrumbs I leave behind as I roam around on the Internet. Unfortunately, the lightbeam software add-on can only help by blocking the digital ads that track us and cannot minimize the behavioral tracking itself.

 

On this Data Privacy Day 2017, we must use this opportunity to raise our knowledge of the digital tracking that occurs in both the virtual world and the physical world. It is now a reality that we are being tracked as much in the physical world because we carry in our pockets smartphones that track our every moves - literally. Be aware, and be careful.

I've been following collusion addon since its inception and I use it on a regular basis to remember all the digital breadcrums I leave behind as I roam around on the Internet.


This is an awakening video but unfortunately the collusion software fail to offer us paths to minimize what behavioural tracking - aside from blocking all ads.

Farid Mheir's insight:

Simple solution to visualize the wifi signals: a pole with lights and long exposure photography. The invisible digital world becomes visible! Watch the video to understand how it works.

Finally an inspiring video presenting the Future of life with Google Glass via @mashable @Playgroundinc

Finally an inspiring video presenting the Future of life with Google Glass via @mashable @Playgroundinc | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
From mashable.com - May 15, 2013 1:28 PM
What if Google Glass could show us a GPS route as we ride a bike? What if you could use it to scan any barcode and instantly get info about the product?
Farid Mheir's insight:

Finally a video that shows glassess beond the simple "take a picture". it presents a number of daily activities, paying for a coffee, scanning barcodes and product images while shopping, adding items as we grocery shop, requesting a taxi cab, tracking calories, or helping someone and calling 911 while having CPR procedure displayed in your field of you, playing the guitar during lessons.


Video is even better because it comes from a small digital company from Toronto. I like their creativity!


What is great about the video is the range of opportunities that glass present. Now, who will do the same video but in a work environment?

Adoption of digital technology may go real fast as it seems everything springing up is digital via @gartner

Adoption of digital technology may go real fast as it seems everything springing up is digital via @gartner | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
From blogs.gartner.com - April 30, 2013 9:33 PM

It has been a cold, late spring across the Northern Hemisphere.  This usually gives way to an instant summer.  The adoption of digital technology may work the same way as all of the sudden it seems that everything springing up is digital.

Farid Mheir's insight:

I always enjoy Mark McDonald's blog post. This one, has a cryptic title but nevertheless a very interesting underlying message: we have been slow to adopt technology in north america for the past few years (since the 2007 meltdown) and things are bound to change in the future.


When they do, the pace will be driven by technologies that have grown in adoption since 2007: all things mobile, cloud computing and on-demand solutions in the cloud, tablet devices, high speed 3G and LTE, etc.

Aviva case study (video)- Driving Business Transformation with Visual Communications Solutions

From mediasite.yorkcast.com - April 9, 2013 5:45 PM
Farid Mheir's insight:

Amazing 60 minute video that highlights both

1- how "demo or die" is the right way to introduce digital business transformations

2- how large organization can go about transforming their intranet and international communications globally, and the business value that it brings

Overall this is a very good presentation delivered by an outstanding presentor that is worth watching, although not all worth listening to.

Hands on With Leap Motion's Controller

Hands on With Leap Motion's Controller | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
From mashable.com - March 10, 2013 3:05 PM
Leap Motion's powerful controller, which lets you control 8 cubic feet of virtual space in front of your computer, is, as promised, impressive.
Farid Mheir's insight:

I am expecting mine over the next few weeks. Can't wait to try it out. The real interest is in turning any existing computer into a hands-free device, which opens it up to a large consumer base for new and innovative applications. The article and the demos suggest a few interesting applications, such as virtual crafting (coupled with 3D printing could change the arts&craft education) or surgery. I am thinking there are other business applications, such as remote controled machinery such as mining equipment or crane operation in remote places. Opportunity to transform those industries looks positive but there still is a number of components that are required to make this a reality. But we are one step closer.


nov2015 update: I played with it a few times but now the device gathers dust in a closet. I found controlling the device to be difficult and the apps to be relatively useless. However I've seen youtube videos of designers and music composers that are doing phenomenal things with this. I guess I'm just not in the right field to need this kind of device. I remains a pretty mind blowing device nevertheless!

Forrester: SaaS And Data-Driven “Smart” Apps Fueling Worldwide Software Growth | TechCrunch

Forrester: SaaS And Data-Driven “Smart” Apps Fueling Worldwide Software Growth | TechCrunch | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
From techcrunch.com - January 7, 2013 1:55 PM

The SaaS software market will increase 25 percent in 2013 to $59 billion, a 25 percent increase. In 2014, the market is expected to total $75 billion. Forrester uses the term “smart computing” to define apps that, for instance, provide direct access to data for decision-making. It also includes data analytics and business intelligence in the category.


The research firm forecasts the smart computing software market to be $41 billion in 2013, increasing to $48 billion in 2014. According to Forrester, these smart-process apps overlap with SaaS products “because the browser-based access model for SaaS products works better for collaboration among internal and external participants than behind-the-firewall deployments.” As a corollary, these smart computing products, like SaaS, are growing far faster than the overall software market.

Farid Mheir's insight:

Also noteworthy, HR is +9% and ePurchasing +10%
