My slides setting the scene for the Connected World Summit 2019 an event covering Emerging Technology for Smart Cities, Connected Places & Tomorrow's Digital World. I covered how we live in exponential times. There has never been a time of greater promise of greater peril. We are dealing with a digital enterprise wave that, with AI, 5G, IoT and Blockchain is turning in top a Digital Tsunami. We are creating data faster than ever, but watch the numbers game and make sure you get your facts and ideas straight. Just like the parable of the 6 blind men and the elephant, everyone sees the connected world topic differently.

2. Nam June Paik
“The building of new electronic super
highways will become an even huger
enterprise. Assuming we connect New
York with Los Angeles by means of an
electronic telecommunication network
that operates in strong transmission
ranges, as well as with continental
satellites, wave guides, bundled coaxial
cable, and later also via laser beam
fiber optics: the expenditure would be
about the same as for a Moon landing,
except that the benefits in term of by-
products would be greater.”
Media Planning for the Postindustrial
Society – The 21st Century is now only 26
years away (1974) for the Rockefeller
Foundation
