THe  bigger  picture
things  that  think  want  to  link
The divisions between people, peoples, devices and things, plus machines of
all kinds are being eroded by need, opportunity, and the necessity to reduce
waste in the interests of finding sustainable solutions…
A future of collaboration includes machines and things on the move
interdependence
No company, institution, government,
big or small can afford all the in house
resources and expertise they need…
…they have no choice but to adopt
networking and sharing…
…and this is mostly on a global and
highly dynamic scale!
old  methods
Fundamentally unable to meet
our needs and satisfy the
demands of a technologically
driven world…
…we need an entirely new
approach to the way we work,
solve problems, create new
products and solutions
Experience  &  Instinct
Served us well in a slow, disconnected and well
behaved linear world …but now they are very
often dangerous…
…in a fast, highly connected and non-linear world,
things are not generally well behaved and emergent
behaviours are the norm
INSTANT  EXPERTISE
Remembering stuff and processes is no
longer sufficient…
…we need better problem solving skills
and more creativity…to realise sustainable
economies and futures…
Comprehension
Our single biggest challenge is to
understand the natural world, and
the one we created and now live
in…which is accelerating faster than
ever before…
…both are non-linear, choatic (in the
mathematical sense) and confounding !
A new book is published ~ 13 seconds
A new scientific abstract ~ 13 ms
Online updates << 13 µs
Publication Rates
are Accelerating
EXEMPLAR  Challenge
This technology helps, a little, but it is
certainly not the answer !
Just  a  band  aid  ?
AI  -  our  best  hope  ?
Right now it is our only hope of
coping with a growing deluge of
data, increasing complexity, &
the need to satisfy a peoples
inhabiting a planet of finite
resources growing ever
strained and depleted….
exemplar  Profession
On the day they graduate
to treating patients about
50% of ever ything they
were taught and learned is
out of date…
…and no matter how they try
they cannot keep on top of
clinical advances and stand
no chance of reading all the
published works…even in the
specialisms they are defeated
by the speed of advance…
