Welcome to the Cloud Computing Age
Fascinated with Science Fiction
(=Technology & Mythology since the 1970s)
Which fiction became reality?
Space ships leaving solar system yes
Everybody has a planetwide walkie-talkie yes
Space tourism yes
Planetwide computer network yes
Tablet computers yes
Portable universal translator (rudimentary) yes
Autostereoscopic Holograms yes
Warp drive not yet
Autonomous robots on distant planets yes
Self conscious machines not yet
...
Information Technology = Transformation Key Role

How to survive the Organic Computing Age
Welcome to the Cloud Computing Age
Today we live in a Science Fiction World called:
The Cloud Computing Age
While everybody is busy with that
I wondered:
What's the next
Megatrend after that?
With which Business Strategy
can you survive this coming age?

A new Magic Potion that
enables systems to self
organize, self heal, self learn,
self optimize. Let's call it:
Organic IT or Bio inspired IT

Two Questions first:
■ Can we fully control our complex
traditional IT systems today?
■ So, do you believe we can fully
control those new dynamic, self
organizing, self healing, self
evolving and self defending
organic systems? (At least we
do have observer controller
architectures, right?)

Ingredient 3: Survival Strategy: Organic Thinking & Acting
Will we be able to control
organic information technology?
My personal opinion:
Life

Organic IT is only Part of the Q-GRINS Paradigm Shift
In the 21st century there will be much more
massive change than in 20th century:
Technology changes life itself and its evolution!
We cross many natural borders while using yet
unknown leverages. This multiplies chances+risks.
To manage those new challenges mankind has to
move to the next mental level:
