Crucial Role in the
Reinvention of Business
Corporations, for the most part, aren't
going to reinvent themselves by improving
on the core competencies they've been
honing for years. Instead, if they're going
to change, they're going to do so from the
outside in, allowing ideas from the edge
of the company to penetrate to the core.
Social media will be a part of that
transformation.
12. Mobile Apps
Macy’s makes mobile integral part
of Black Friday strategy to drive in-

The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend BiologyAnother big brain is Ray KurzweilThe next big tipping point but this one…We describe human progress in term of Ages:Middle Age– Renaissance Age – Industrial Age – Information Age – Digitalization Age - Convergence AgeA technological-evolutionary point known as "the singularity" exists as an achievable goal for humanity.Through a law of accelerating returns, technology is progressing toward the singularity at an exponential rate.The functionality of the human brain is quantifiable in terms of technology that we can build in the near future.Medical advancements make it possible for a significant number of his generation (Baby Boomers) to live long enough for the exponential growth of technology to intersect and surpass the processing of the human brain He believes the Law of Accelerating Returns implies that a technological singularity will occur before the end of the 21st century, in 2045.
Many bemoan the state of humanity when new technology emerges that makes us lazy or reduces anything they feel was important and important skill…So before ink and pencils?
