•
0 likes•207 views
The original roaring 20s actually were 100 years ago, but we may be about to see a new version of this. If it’s going to be “a period of economic prosperity with a distinctive cultural edge”, then both the economic and the cultural aspects will no doubt be all about data. As a leading analyst and journalist with an eye on all things data, AI, and innovation, at the end of each year I publish a review and outlook on the year’s defining trends. This year, since it’s the end of a decade, I’ll try and go a bit further. Here are the 5+1 defining trends of the new decade. Because big data has brought us big things. A countdown, in which you’ll get to learn about the topics at hand in a concise way, and hear some insights as to why they are important and where they are heading next.

Week 8 Re-imagining Business as Usual - Ludwick Marishane
In 2011, Ludwick was rated as the best student entrepreneur in the world (Global Champion of the Global Student Entrepreneurs Awards 2011). That same year, Google named him as one of the 12 brightest young minds in the world. He holds a Bachelor of Business Science, majoring in Finance & Accounting, from the UCT. In December 2013, TIME Magazine named him as one of the 30 people, under 30, who are changing the world...one of only 2 Africans on the list. DryBath® is a Bath-Substituting® gel, designed to replace the need for soap, water and skin lotion. DryBath® is an innovative gel that cleans the skin by removing dead cells & ? body odor, without the need for much water. This saves you time when in a rush, or when bathing with water is difficult or awkward. DryBath® is designed to provide more hygiene to the 2 billion people without adequate water access, who still use the traditional bucket-bathing method. It was also designed to provide a convenient hygiene alternative to affluent households, allowing them to use less water.
Heroic docs
The document discusses three main points:
1. Documents used to be more permanent records but are now transient with the rise of the web. The web has fragmented documents into smaller pieces and changed how we write and read them.
2. Intranet sites are further changing the role of documents in business by blurring the line between documents and websites. Sites allow for more collaboration compared to traditional documents.
3. The rise of management culture in business has reduced the "heroic" aspects of business but the web is returning a sense of individual voice which people desire. It allows people to connect in more human ways than traditional top-down corporate communications.
Revisiting a publishers manifesto
The document discusses the future of publishing and how publishers are adapting to changes in technology and consumer behavior. It notes the large revenues generated by different digital media and services. It also highlights perspectives from industry professionals about embracing new formats like e-books and using new digital technologies and platforms to improve education. Publishers are advised not to wait too long to transition to new things that will eventually surpass old models.

2020 Enterprise IT Outlook
This document provides a 3-5 year projection for technology trends in enterprise IT (EIT) based on analysis from experts and current market conditions. Key points include:
- EIT is currently a $2.1 trillion global market dominated by software, devices, and outsourcing.
- Cloud computing and software-as-a-service (SaaS) are rising significantly and most experts predict SaaS will capture the largest share of the business market.
- By 2020, the boundaries between on-premise and cloud deployment may disappear, and technologies like artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and predictive analytics will be more widely adopted. Data management is also expected to converge across structured and unstructured
Connect, communicate, collaborate
No company, institution, government or agency can afford to contain and maintain all the resources they need in house. In a connected and fast changing world those needs are not static, they are dynamic and fast changing. So, outsourcing and insourcing, flexible working, BYOD, Social Networking, Open Access and Apps have become essential to flexibility and adaptability. But, perhaps more importantly ‘collaboration’ provides a prime element to success, that spans most sectors across the planet.
The various modes and tools of eCollaboration between people are well documented including: audio and video conferencing, connected white boards and meeting spaces are perhaps the most common. But there is far more when we include machines. People use and collaborate with machines at all levels, but increasingly the machines are autonomously collaborating.
“When things think, they want to link”
The inclusion of intelligence and smarts sees everything from our mobile devices to laptops, PCs, MainFrames and Super Computers starting to engage in cooperation and invisible conversations. The Cloud is amplifying this to our advantage with a growing range of apps backed up with distributed data, resources, networking, computing power and intelligences. Truth Engines and Intelligent Search and Find are also being developed to make available a range of new (easy to use) group and profession specific apps.
Most of us seem to spend more time locating information and the right people, than we devote to being creative and finding solutions. Our biggest challenge is to understand (in a shorter and shorter time frame), find the appropriate skill cells and get them all to come together as an effective team.
“The power to convene is both rare and coveted”
The old ways of working are falling by the wayside in the leading companies operating in the fastest moving sectors, whilst nothing much is happening (yet) at the other end of the market spectrum. But in this 21C the winners will be the global teams that connect, network and collaborate to maximise there creativity, and become the primary creators and solution finders.
The Stadium Business - Technology of Engagement
For millennia people have been travelling to stadia to watch and participate in spectacles of pure brutality and sport sponsored by kings, emperors, states, individuals. Today sport and other entertainment events have become a major global business sector with executive facilities, commercial sponsorship, broadcast and full media coverage. But, in many respects, the crowds and their experience has changed little. However, technology is impacting this situation and looks set to accelerate the rate of change.
In a similar manner to the airline business; the few pay around 80% of the costs, whilst the many fulfil the 20% or so. All the attention is lavished on the few and the many are neglected and remain a latent opportunity. The technologies of communication, networking, apps, Big and Meta Data can change all this by creating a ‘market of one’. Satisfying the needs of every individual and every group should be pursued as it leads to a world of new services and ‘pre-selling’.
The technological opportunities are endless with augmented reality able to furnish a view from every angle to mobile devices and wearables supported by real time details, data and statistics. Clouds and ‘networks without infrastructure’ can overcome the limitations of 3, 4, 5G and wifi systems that will never satisfy the need for growing customer connectivity and bandwidth. They can also help solve entry congestion and simultaneously support security and vending operations. Branded mobile devices with pre-loaded apps are also an obvious step towards the creation of ‘The Club’ identity and ‘belonging’ that goes way beyond the latest strip, scarves and hats etc with far more kudos than a gold card!
“On a grand scale this all involves Big Data, but for a ‘market of one’ it is the Meta Data that counts - that is where the opportunity and the $$$ reside”
All of this comes at a price of management and operational change! Embracing the new takes a positive mind and considerable energy in the face of day to day operations, but the workforce and the customer base is also changing fast with the old and old of mind being replaced by the young and young of mind. The tech savvy are on the move and making up an increasing proportion of society - and the trick is to leverage their knowledge and abilities at every level possible.
“Change is inevitable and accelerating - and you have to decide to be a driver or a victim”
Webinar 3 the future (sept 2020) - version 1 (no video)

Social Media & Digital Marketing: A Reflection
A Pecha Kucha (20x20) to reflect on the modern digital and social media consumer. How has it come about that we depend on technology as much as it depends on us? And what can we make of that?
This discussion was designed for a one-hour meeting of Fashion & Branding lecturers at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute in October 2015.
2600 v24 n4 (winter 2007)
The document discusses using wireless cameras and UPS batteries to monitor one's home in case of warrantless searches by law enforcement. It describes setting up an Internet-enabled wireless camera to send email alerts and video recordings. It also discusses using a UPS battery to potentially power the camera and network equipment for many hours if the power is cut off, in order to maintain surveillance of one's property without permission. The tone is somewhat tongue-in-cheek about "fighting crime" with these methods.

This document summarizes a presentation about the future of the internet between 2011-2020. The presentation discusses 10 key trends that will shape the internet: e-government 2.0, creating a culture of innovation, cloud computing, the internet of things, big data, transparency, consumerization, people-centered design, community, and the need for updated policies. The presentation argues the internet is less than 20% developed and the next decade will see as much or more change than the last 20 years, including ubiquitous wireless connectivity and over 100 billion internet-connected devices.
The Big Data Con: Why Big Data is a Problem, not a Solution - Ian Plosker
"Big Data" is a commonly brandished term, but rarely does anyone provide a clear definition of it. If we stop to define Big Data, we find that at its core, it is about an inability to meet the challenges of information storage and access in a world where data is generated by the petabyte. As an alternative exists the concept of Critical Data, data that generates value for businesses, whose unavailability costs money or even lives. This is the data which has already been identified and understood to be at the core of a business. Together, we will gain a deeper understanding of how to gather, store, and access this business critical information.
Part 3 of 3_Fastest Growing Duolingo Courses
This document summarizes and discusses several topics related to globalization and technology, including access to the internet and smartphone usage around the world. It notes that while internet penetration is still growing, it may not reach the saturation levels of mobile phones. There is also a discussion around how technology is automating jobs formerly done by humans and how this could lead to fewer jobs being available, as was seen previously with mechanization. The document also examines how the internet has made it easier to outsource work and find cheaper alternatives, potentially driving down costs but also wages over time.
Heavy, messy, misleading. Why Big Data is a human problem, not a technology one.
"Big data" has been around for a few years now but for every hundred people talking about it there’s probably only one actually doing it. As a result Big Data has become the preferred vehicle for inflated expectations and misguided strategy.
As always, language holds the key and the seed of the issue is reflected in the expression itself. "Big Data" is not so much about a quality of the data or the tools to mine it, it’s about a new approach to product, policy or business strategy design. And that’s way harder and trickier to implement than any new technology stack.
In this talk I look at where Big Data is going, what are the real opportunities, limitations and dangers and what can we do to stop talking about it and start doing it today.

Confessions of an Adapative Marketer Final PDF
The document discusses adaptive marketing and how data-driven marketing has changed since the 1960s. It explains that modern marketing uses rapid data exchanges between brands and consumers to constantly adapt strategies. It outlines six factors ("S-Factors") that marketers should consider for data: swift, smart, social, synchronous, secure, and small. Having actionable insights from analyzing diverse, real-time data sources allows for more effective adaptive marketing.
Data and Ethics: Why Data Science Needs One
This was a talk I gave at SXSW 2016. It outlines the current state of applied ethics in data science as a profession. Describes key reasons a code should be constructed and also proposes a framework to begin discussion.
Cyber Security in a Fully Mobile World
It has been estimated that the global earnings of Cyber Criminals will equal or exceed the GDP of the UK sometime in the 2022/23 window. If this was the capability of a country they would be joining the G8! Clearly, we are losing the Cyber War hands down, and the time has long passed when we might ignore the threat scenarios surrounding us.
In this lecture we examine global networks from home and office through the ‘last mile,’ and on to national and international networks to identify the key vulnerabilities and points of potential ingress. We identify the cyber risks as escalating as we approach the periphery of all forms of network. For the most part, the core/carrier networks are virtually unassailable physically as they are dominated by terrestrial and undersea optical fibre cables.
Throughout the ‘carrier’ network levels the difficulty of physical interception, encryption, routing, and path diversity employed renders them secure in the extreme. Attackers, therefore, tend to focus on the exploitation of people, devices, services, home, and office appliances, and latterly, a poorly engineered IoT.
In reality, we are expanding the attack surface of the planet exponentially without due caution or care in the most exposed sectors and locations. And so, we explore potential tech and operational solutions for the future.
NOTE: This lecture is one of a series that has examined technology design and deployment, devices and the IoT, people fallibility, deviousness, internal and external threats.
In class; RED and BLUE Team Exercises have also been conducted in support of the complete Cyber Security Package to date.
Our Guide to Digital disruption Update 2019
This document discusses digital disruption and its causes. It identifies six global forces shaping digital disruption: 1) increasing connectivity through mobile phones and other devices, 2) the growing number of connected devices and emergence of the internet of things, 3) exponential growth in data creation and need for data storage, 4) lower barriers to market participation. These forces are accelerating changes in business models and challenging traditional companies through new entrants like Uber and Airbnb.
The EDU Plan by Gordon Kraft (solution overview)
The document proposes the EDU Plan, which aims to provide broadband internet access nationwide and improve e-learning opportunities through entrepreneur incubators and game-based learning. It would require significant investment but could accelerate the economy by training workers and connecting rural areas. The plan involves acquiring a video game company to develop e-learning games and connecting universities to provide resources and students to entrepreneur incubators.
The Future of the Connected Home
Continuum's Kevin Young, SVP of Product Experience, shares the technological, cultural, and business shifts impacting IoT and the home.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
"Frontline Battles with DDoS: Best practices and Lessons Learned", Igor Ivaniuk
At this talk we will discuss DDoS protection tools and best practices, discuss network architectures and what AWS has to offer. Also, we will look into one of the largest DDoS attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure that happened in February 2022. We'll see, what techniques helped to keep the web resources available for Ukrainians and how AWS improved DDoS protection for all customers based on Ukraine experience

"Big data" has been around for a few years now but for every hundred people talking about it there’s probably only one actually doing it. As a result Big Data has become the preferred vehicle for inflated expectations and misguided strategy.
As always, language holds the key and the seed of the issue is reflected in the expression itself. "Big Data" is not so much about a quality of the data or the tools to mine it, it’s about a new approach to product, policy or business strategy design. And that’s way harder and trickier to implement than any new technology stack.
In this talk I look at where Big Data is going, what are the real opportunities, limitations and dangers and what can we do to stop talking about it and start doing it today.

Confessions of an Adapative Marketer Final PDF
The document discusses adaptive marketing and how data-driven marketing has changed since the 1960s. It explains that modern marketing uses rapid data exchanges between brands and consumers to constantly adapt strategies. It outlines six factors ("S-Factors") that marketers should consider for data: swift, smart, social, synchronous, secure, and small. Having actionable insights from analyzing diverse, real-time data sources allows for more effective adaptive marketing.
Data and Ethics: Why Data Science Needs One
This was a talk I gave at SXSW 2016. It outlines the current state of applied ethics in data science as a profession. Describes key reasons a code should be constructed and also proposes a framework to begin discussion.
Cyber Security in a Fully Mobile World
It has been estimated that the global earnings of Cyber Criminals will equal or exceed the GDP of the UK sometime in the 2022/23 window. If this was the capability of a country they would be joining the G8! Clearly, we are losing the Cyber War hands down, and the time has long passed when we might ignore the threat scenarios surrounding us.
In this lecture we examine global networks from home and office through the ‘last mile,’ and on to national and international networks to identify the key vulnerabilities and points of potential ingress. We identify the cyber risks as escalating as we approach the periphery of all forms of network. For the most part, the core/carrier networks are virtually unassailable physically as they are dominated by terrestrial and undersea optical fibre cables.
Throughout the ‘carrier’ network levels the difficulty of physical interception, encryption, routing, and path diversity employed renders them secure in the extreme. Attackers, therefore, tend to focus on the exploitation of people, devices, services, home, and office appliances, and latterly, a poorly engineered IoT.
In reality, we are expanding the attack surface of the planet exponentially without due caution or care in the most exposed sectors and locations. And so, we explore potential tech and operational solutions for the future.
NOTE: This lecture is one of a series that has examined technology design and deployment, devices and the IoT, people fallibility, deviousness, internal and external threats.
In class; RED and BLUE Team Exercises have also been conducted in support of the complete Cyber Security Package to date.
Our Guide to Digital disruption Update 2019
This document discusses digital disruption and its causes. It identifies six global forces shaping digital disruption: 1) increasing connectivity through mobile phones and other devices, 2) the growing number of connected devices and emergence of the internet of things, 3) exponential growth in data creation and need for data storage, 4) lower barriers to market participation. These forces are accelerating changes in business models and challenging traditional companies through new entrants like Uber and Airbnb.
The EDU Plan by Gordon Kraft (solution overview)
The document proposes the EDU Plan, which aims to provide broadband internet access nationwide and improve e-learning opportunities through entrepreneur incubators and game-based learning. It would require significant investment but could accelerate the economy by training workers and connecting rural areas. The plan involves acquiring a video game company to develop e-learning games and connecting universities to provide resources and students to entrepreneur incubators.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

JavaLand 2024: Application Development Green Masterplan

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
