The document discusses how HR, IT, and cloud computing will impact productivity and lifestyle management in the coming decade. It notes that technological transformation is continuous and being driven by major tech companies. The cloud provides an integrated platform and transforms the datacenter, providing a new platform for skills and experience. It discusses how the 21st century worker and firm will change, and how technology is accelerating and impacting various industries and business segments.

Editor's Notes
- Technology as a response not a requirement…
- PC and then the Internet changed how people work, interact, and play; now cloud computing is itself changing the very landscape of IT. At the moment, there is a near insatiable demand for new apps; anywhere, anytime data access; and new in-depth analytical capabilities. it will enable entirely redefined Apps, unlock insights on any data, and foster means and states of productive collaboration which will endow people-centric IT.
- Jeremy Rifkin is an American economist, writer, public speaker, political advisor and activist. He is the founder and president of the Foundation On Economic Trends. Rifkin's work explores the potential impact of scientific and technological changes on the economy, the workforce, society, and the environment.

- While the technological advances in IT experienced in the past several decades have been remarkable, the pace of change will almost certainly continue for the next decade or longer. In terms of integrated circuits, current estimates suggest that Moore’s Law will continue to hold for another 8 to 15 years or so before the foreseeable limits of physics set in. (RAND.org/Mg 164)

- In other words, the network’s value grows faster than the growth in the number of users.
- Another major component of the growth of information technology has been the capacity for networking within and across firms, and between consumers and the producers of goods and services. The World Wide Web, introduced in 1989, is the ultimate example of this networking capability, with tremendous implications for the nature and costs of transactions. (RAND.org/MG164)
- U.S.-wide team now thinks that it will see a memory device being implanted in a small number of human volunteers within two years and available to patients in five to 10 years. They can't quite contain their excitement.
- In the same way that 50 years ago it was not possible to imagine the full array of applications that would follow from the replacement of vacuum tubes by silicon, the far-reaching applications of nanotechnology in these and other fields are not completely knowable. (RAND.org/MG164)
- We won't let people work 20-hour factory shifts anymore, but we're okay to let them respond to emails 24/7. We organize workplaces to minimize physical injuries, yet we expect people to process huge volumes of data for hours on end. We mandate that people have vacations, yet more people are connected on vacation than ever. We are not respecting the needs of the brain largely because they are not obvious. Maybe it is time we made them more so.
- Fortunately, there are a number of technological solutions that promise to unify your teams, organize your projects, and store your documents.
