The document discusses how technology has revolutionized the way generations interact and do business. The older generation grew up playing outside, while the younger generation uses technology like game consoles. Ten major 21st century events, like the rise of the internet, have flattened the global business environment. Project Titan aims to introduce new tablet technology but must manage change for traditional agricultural workers. The only constant is change.

Presentation for Canadian startup company Eventmobi (http://www.eventmobi.com/). They are visiting Iceland this september 2014 and are located in Reykavík University.
This presentation introduced some startups including my own, Betware which is not so much of a startup any more. I also introduce three companies that are members of the Icelandic gaming industry (IGI), CCP makers of the successful EVEOnline, Plain Vanilla markers of the rocket growth game Quizup and finally Skema Education which is about teaching programming to kids. The clip shown is from founder Rakel Sölvadóttir's TEDx lecture.
Then I talk about my work at RU and in particular some concepts from my New Technology course on technology trends. Which explains the title of the presentation.
The World Is Flat
The document discusses Thomas Friedman's book "The World is Flat" and the ten forces that flattened the world according to Friedman. These forces include: 1) the fall of the Berlin Wall, 2) the rise of the internet and Netscape, 3) workflow software that allows computers to collaborate, 4) open sourcing communities, 5) outsourcing, 6) offshoring, 7) supply chaining, 8) insourcing, and 9) offshoring. Friedman argues that these ten forces played major roles in leveling the global playing field.

The World is Flat
The document summarizes Thomas Friedman's book "The World Is Flat" which discusses how globalization in the early 21st century has leveled the global playing field for business. It identifies 10 "flatteners" such as outsourcing, offshoring, supply chaining, and digital technologies that have driven global integration. Friedman believes these forces created a new platform for global collaboration. The book also discusses remedies for American workers to adapt their skills and for the government to make job switching easier to compete in the new flat world.
The world is flat presentation, Gaxiola
This document summarizes Thomas Friedman's book "The World is Flat" which discusses how globalization and advances in technology have led to a more connected global community. It outlines 10 factors ("flatteners") that have contributed to this phenomenon, including the fall of barriers like the Berlin Wall, the rise of the internet and connectivity, outsourcing, and knowledge/brainpower becoming a source of wealth. The document also provides a brief history of globalization in three eras and discusses how the convergence of these flatteners has created new opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and competition on a global scale.
Ideealab Introduction
Networks are becoming the major way of doing business as the internet and mobile communications have made networks the central means of connecting people and allowing information to flow freely; controlling networks will be more important than controlling capital. IdeeaLab's vision is to create the world's largest web-based platform that acts as a central hub for supporting and accelerating corporate, governmental, and non-profit crowdsourcing and crowdcasting processes among young people aged 13-31.
Disruption Rules!
New and emerging technology is having impact on people, businesses, and society. In some cases the current business models are replaced by new once in a relative short time. The Internet with smartphones and all-ways on access to cloud based services is creating new business models, and for established companies or individual creators it is hard to adapt.
This is my lecture at the WLA/EL Internet and New Media held in Reykjavik 22-24 September. In this I look at some of the concepts I teach about in my New Technology course. Fortunately, there are theories and principles that can help us understand how disruption happens.

Article -- bridging the gap - m.roach 2007
This document discusses efforts to bridge the digital divide between developed and developing nations. It notes that while internet access is ubiquitous in Australia, in many places only 4 phone lines and 1 computer are shared between 1000 people. Recent initiatives by companies like Intel and OLPC aim to provide low-cost computers to children in developing areas, but challenges implementing technologies at such a large scale mean mistakes are likely. While a positive step, questions remain about how far these initiatives can go in truly solving global poverty issues.
Globalization 3.0
The document discusses Thomas Friedman's concept of "Globalization 3.0" where the world has shrunk from small to tiny. It argues that individuals and groups now collaborate and compete globally through ten forces that leveled the playing field such as the internet, outsourcing, supply chains, and digital technologies. These forces converged around 2000 and require horizontal collaboration between businesses and a global workforce to succeed in today's flat world where work can be done from anywhere.
Knowledge Management
The document discusses knowledge management and how it has become an important but often overlooked corporate resource. It covers different generations currently in the workforce and how they approach knowledge and technology differently. It also discusses the rise of crowdsourcing, user-generated content on websites, and how governments can use new technologies and social media to transform public services, engage citizens differently, and address policy challenges in novel ways.
The digital revolution
Computers have evolved dramatically from room-sized machines only capable of basic tasks to handheld devices with immense processing power that can access a global network of computers from anywhere. This digital revolution transformed how people work and share information through innovations like personal computers, the Internet, and cellular technology that now interconnect our world and fuel a technology-dependent global marketplace.
Digital divide
The document discusses the global digital divide and its relationship to poverty. It defines the digital divide as the gap between those who have access to information technologies and those who do not. This divide is widening and risks excluding the world's poor from the emerging knowledge-based global economy. Two major obstacles preventing mass connectivity in developing countries are lack of adequate infrastructure and lack of knowledge. While technologies can contribute to development, eliminating the digital divide requires broader socioeconomic development and integrating information and communication technologies. The digital divide is a multidimensional problem with no single solution.
Brave New World
The document discusses the impact of increasing digital technology use on individuals and society. It notes how the author of Brave New World predicted many technological advances just decades after writing the book. While technology provides benefits like access to information, it can also be harmful if overused by demanding attention and disrupting communication, contemplation, family unity, and sleep. The document encourages setting boundaries on phone and screen time to avoid negative consequences and using technology responsibly without becoming fully immersed in the digital world.
Management of Change update 2009
This document discusses nine drivers of change that are impacting businesses: globalization, molecularization, digitalization, virtualization, internetworking, re-intermediation, immediacy, innovation, and knowledge. It provides examples for each driver and discusses their impact on human resources and information and communications technology. The document advocates for starting change from the top and breaking old rules and ideas before others do so. It also emphasizes the need for companies to adapt and be ready for constant change.
The World Is Flat
The document summarizes Thomas Friedman's book "The World is Flat" which discusses three phases of globalization and ten factors that have flattened the global economic playing field. Globalization 1.0 from 1492-1800 shrank the world from large to medium as countries globalized. Globalization 2.0 from 1800-2000 shrank the world from medium to small as companies globalized. Globalization 3.0 from 2000 onward shrank the world from small to tiny as individuals can collaborate and compete globally through technologies like the internet.
Strategic use of technology
The document discusses how businesses need to adapt their strategies to changing technology in order to survive. It notes that established strategies focused on scale and value chains may no longer provide competitive advantages. Industries like music sales that did not adapt to new technologies like Napster and iTunes have seen large declines. The document warns that if businesses do not embrace change, they risk falling behind competitors. It advocates that organizations overcome beliefs that change cannot be done and urges businesses to adapt their strategies to the new digital era.
The World is Flat
Thomas Friedman's book "The World is Flat" argues that globalization and new technologies have leveled the global playing field, allowing more individuals and businesses worldwide to collaborate and compete. He cites 10 factors or "flatteners" that enabled this, such as the internet, outsourcing, and Chinese/Indian economic growth. Friedman observes companies outsourcing work to places like India and the dot-com boom/bust benefiting developing nations. The book suggests the U.S. risks falling behind if students don't keep pace with global skills demands.

Finland is consistently ranked as one of the best countries in the world according to several metrics. It has the highest quality of living, best education system, and is the safest, most stable, and most digital country in Europe. Finland also has the most coffee, metal bands, and saunas per capita. The city of Helsinki is ranked as one of the best cities for startups due to Finland's strong startup ecosystem, which includes events like Slush that bring together thousands of startups, investors, and mentors each year. Finland's success is attributed to factors like its open and self-regulated environment, long-term thinking, high social trust, and culture of giving back.

Performance In Global Marketplace Chapt 9
Cross Cultural Management - Performance in a Globla Marketplace by Prasena's Lukas Ritzel (more info in slide notes)
Harry
This document discusses how journalists in Africa are responding to the rise of mobile technology. It outlines the evolution of mobile from Mobile 1.0 with small screens and high costs, to Mobile 2.0 with touchscreens and more transparency in pricing, to Mobile 3.0 which is cloud-based and community-driven. The document notes that connectivity in Africa remains poor compared to other regions but that mobile is transforming how journalists work by allowing them to better connect, collaborate, curate content, and attract audiences.
The World Is Flat
There have been three eras of globalization according to the author. The world first began globalizing from 1400 to 1800 when it shrunk from "Size Large" to "Size Medium" starting with Columbus' discovery. From 1800 to 2000, globalization further increased trade, jobs, and economic growth. The third era began in 2000 when the world "flattened" as people from all countries began globalizing themselves through increased connectivity and outsourcing.
Presentation mil 1
Information and communication technologies have led to some negative impacts in various sectors. ICT has increased the crime rate through cyber crimes, hacking, and ATM fraud. It has also made people lazier as they have access to many conveniences. ICT has heightened the rate of pornography viewing and made plagiarism easier as content can be easily copied online. While ICT provides benefits, it is important to utilize it responsibly to avoid these downsides.
Presentation2 (1)
Dr. Nina Aversano's doctoral thesis focused on consumer rejection of new technology. While businesses widely accepted computers for productivity, introducing computers for home use was initially met with skepticism. Many early home computer companies that drove initial adoption, like Commodore, are now defunct. Personal computers gained widespread home acceptance primarily through their entertainment value as gaming devices, rather than early visions of their productivity potential. Over time, the distinction between personal and office computers disappeared as portable devices took on both roles.
The world is flat leadership book review
1. Prior to 2000, the ten flatteners operated independently, but then started reinforcing one another, creating a new business model of horizontal collaboration and value interaction.
2. The fall of the Berlin Wall led Russia, India, China, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Central Asia to open their economies, adding their intellectual property to the global marketplace and influencing politics and economics.
3. Individuals are now able to work effectively across borders in small, virtual teams through reinforcement of flatteners like the internet, communication technologies, outsourcing, and offshoring.

1. computers for the masses
The document discusses the history and widespread use of computers. It begins by describing how computers have become ubiquitous in modern life due to their ability to perform calculations quickly. While the first personal computers emerged in the 1970s, computers are now used for work, entertainment, communication and more. The document outlines how computers are used at home for tasks like entertainment, communication, and education. It also explains how computers are essential tools in modern business that improve efficiency. In conclusion, while computers provide many benefits, they also enable some disadvantages like risks to privacy and potential overuse.
Coming Of Calm Technology
The document discusses trends in computing and the concept of "calm technology". It describes three major phases of computing: the mainframe era, the personal computer era, and the upcoming ubiquitous computing era. The ubiquitous computing era will involve many small computers embedded in everyday objects. The document argues that for ubiquitous computing to be successful, technology must be designed to remain calm and unobtrusive by engaging both the center and periphery of human attention. It provides examples of potential calm technologies like inner office windows and internet multicast.

Transformation
Les sciences et le langage sont les principaux facteurs qui alimentent les mécanismes de la transformation précipitée de nos vies privées et sociales. C’est la poésie et la philosophie qui en donneront un sens.
La nouveauté est bien en soi. Il y a une certaine fascination aujourd’hui pour les progrès technologiques. Jusqu’à très récemment, le rythme de ces évolutions s’est soudainement accéléré, projetant de la science-fiction dans notre quotidien. Or on se focalise plutôt sur le mouvement d’un changement que sur son objectif final. Être mobile, s’adapter toujours, innover encore, changer plus vite, sont devenues les principes de notre conscience occidentale, notre nouvelle religion. Il importe alors de s’interroger sur l’intérêt de la transformation de nos organisations afin d’y donner un sens.
Dans ce premier document, j’essaie de comprendre à travers le prisme des entreprises, les origines de cette transformation dont le numérique et la mondialisation ont fortement contribués. Puis, je propose une approche pour sa prise en main. Être un acteur de sa propre évolution dans ce tourbillon d’innovations est un premier pas pour habiter ce monde et mettre l’humanité au cœur de nos activités.

Smart cities: how computers are changing our world for the better
Introduction
The world is flat, hot and crowded, as Thomas Friedman says in his last book. Luckily, we can also say that it is getting more and more intelligent. Our world is increasingly interconnected and increasingly able to talk to us: people, systems and objects can communicate and interact with one another in completely new ways. Now we have the means to measure, hear and see instantaneously the state of all things. When all things, including processes and working methods, are intelligent, we will be able to respond to changing conditions with more speed and more focus, and make more precise forecasting which in turn will lead to optimization of future events. This ongoing transformation has given birth to the concept of Smart Cities, cities that are able to take action and improve the quality of life of their inhabitants, reconciling it with the needs of trades, factories, service industries and institutions by means of an innovative and pervasive use of digital technologies.

Technological changes and globalization transformed the American economy in the 20th century. The development of the computer and microchip led to personal computers that changed business and everyday life. Advances in communications technologies like the Internet enabled multinational corporations to do business globally, connecting economies around the world. This led the U.S. economy to shift from manufacturing to services as the production of goods declined but services increased.

10 negative and positive about technology
Modern technology has brought many advantages such as increased innovation, easy access to information, improved communication, convenience, and changes to industries like entertainment, education, and healthcare. However, technology has also led to some disadvantages like increased loneliness, job loss, dependency on technology, and issues like cyberbullying. Overall, while technology has improved lives through convenience and access to information, it also enables new problems and can replace human jobs or reduce competency.
