The document also discusses artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, virtual avatars, and the concept of technological singularity. In conclusion, it suggests that ubiquitous connectivity and immersive technologies will continue blurring the lines between real and virtual experiences for travelers.
In 2008 Internet-connected devices that can communicate with physical world without human involvement outnumbered those still require human operator. Internet of People became Internet of Things (IoT). How does it shape our world and what IT industry should be prepared for?
Talk from IT Arena 2015: http://itarena.lviv.ua/
LS 6 Information and Communications TechnologyMichael Gelacio
The document summarizes several key technologies of the 20th century and their impacts, including:
1) Nuclear power which provided efficient energy but also enabled destructive weapons threatening human survival.
2) Personal computers which became ubiquitous and integral to work, entertainment and communication.
3) Airplanes which revolutionized travel and warfare while shrinking the world.
4) Automobiles which brought mobility but also changed markets and lifestyles.
5) Rockets enabling space exploration while also delivering satellites vital to modern technologies.
The digital world refers to the use of digital tools and technologies to communicate over the internet and through digital devices. It has evolved from large mainframe computers used primarily by businesses in the 1960s-1970s to personal computers in the 1980s. The introduction of the World Wide Web in the 1990s opened up new possibilities for information exchange. Today, smartphones and mobile devices dominate, and everyday objects are becoming "smart" and interconnected through the Internet of Things. By 2050, there will be 9 billion people in the world, placing increasing demands on resources that the digital world may help address through connectivity, communication, and versatile working arrangements, though it also brings disadvantages like privacy and security concerns.
Traditionally our technology has spoken for us, but these days the products have become so sophisticated that the technology is becoming imperceptible. With that step; our roles in them, the careers they present and the business opportunities all diminish. Out of sight is out of mind; and out of mind is de-prioritised.
This document provides an overview of cutting-edge breakthroughs in VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) technology and their impact on the future of electronics and computing. It discusses the evolution of VLSI from early microprocessors to nanotechnology, and how nanotechnology is enabling ultra-compact circuits. Emerging areas like artificial intelligence integration, quantum computing, innovative materials, and 3D integration are explored. The document envisions how VLSI technology can reshape industries and society through continued innovation.
Vacuum tubes were the first electronic switches used in computers but were large, inefficient, and prone to failures. The invention of the transistor in 1947 revolutionized digital electronics by providing a reliable and efficient alternative. Integrated circuits enabled even smaller, cheaper, and more powerful devices by incorporating multiple transistors onto a single chip. The first microprocessor in 1971 was a milestone that led to microprocessors now containing billions of transistors and powering most electronic devices today. Digital signal processors are specialized microprocessors designed to efficiently process digital audio, video, and other signals.
Since 1986 a global debate has raged on copper or fibre in the local loop, and despite all the evidence the copper heads have pursued a path of survival at any cost with outrageous claims of what they can deliver. With claims of ‘up-to’ download speeds and homes passed (not connected), and crosstalk induced asymmetry they have never delivered what was said on the tin. And worst, with great temerity they insist on dictating to customers as to the bandwidth they really need.
We have now (probably) reached a peak of the lunacy with FTTCabinet/Kerb and pole top G.Fast developers claiming speeds of 1,000Mbit/s delivered. They can no more deliver such speeds than 10Mbit/s unless it is over impractically short spans. You can deliver 10Gbit/s over 5m of twisted pair or 100Gbit/s over 1m, but it aint of much practical use. In contrast optical fibre can deliver 1, 10, 100 Gbit/s over 100km using <10% of the energy demanded by copper.
So in November 2015 I attended my 100th conference/seminar/meeting on the topic to explain that the world is now bifurcating into those with Gbit/s fibre in the local loop and those who are sticking with copper. City and community wide FTTH is rolling out in a frenzy of frustration with the incumbent telco copperheads who continue their futile quest to squeeze the last micro-gram out of their 150 year old technologies. Only fibre is green, only fibre is future proof, only fibre is economic, and only fibre can support future business, Cloud Computing, The IoT, Smart Cities, and the 3,4,5G infill needed into the future.
It is all obvious, but here we go again! Will the UK be a world leader or laggard, in the first division, or at the back of the pack? There is a lot at stake. The first to roll out FTTH was BY in 1990, but government ignorance saw the program closed down and since then the GDP has suffered with lost business and the emigration of young start ups. But all that is insignificant compared with what is to come!
The easiest and most sensible route out of the ‘gotcha’ is to let the companies do as they wish, but empower towns and cities to install dark fibre nets, and to provide assistive funding to villages and communities to DIY Fibre. This is happening by default, but it needs to be accelerated by a modest capital investment.
The document discusses six networks that have changed communication over the past 200 years:
1) The cable network established in 1835 with the telegraph, allowing electrical pulses to be transmitted through cables.
2) The broadcast network enabled electromagnetic signals to be broadcast through the air and received by many receivers, including early radio and television.
3) The exchange network began with telephone switchboards connecting multiple phone lines.
4) The constellation network started with the Telstar 1 satellite enabling live television signals to be transmitted across oceans.
5) The cell network featured early antennas disguised as cacti that transmitted radio waves to enable mobile phone communication.
6) The web network originated in the 1970s with connections

The document discusses the concept of the technological singularity and its implications for the future of cities and citizens. It describes three major schools of thought around the singularity - accelerating change, event horizon, and intelligence explosion. It then discusses potential challenges and impacts on domestic life, education/culture, transportation, healthcare, and more. Questions are raised about how governments can help cities and citizens prepare for and adapt to coming changes.
Across the UK we are seeing more and more examples of smart city transformation. Key 'smart' sectors utilised by such Cities include transport, energy, health care, water and waste. Against the current background of economic, social, security and technological changes caused by the globalization and the integration process, cities in the UK face the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development simultaneously.
A smart city is a place where the traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and businesses. With this vision in mind, the European Union is investing in ICT research and innovation and developing policies to improve the quality of life of citizens and make cities more sustainable in view of Europe's 20-20-20 targets.
The smart city concept goes beyond the use of ICT for better resource use and less emissions. It means smarter urban transport networks, upgraded water supply and waste disposal facilities, and more efficient ways to light and heat buildings.
And it also encompasses a more interactive and responsive city administration, safer and secure public spaces.
Smart Cities UK 2017 Conference, Expo and Awards lead the way on addressing the best practice examples on smart transformation from across Cities within the United Kingdom whilst disseminating guidance and information transformation within waste, energy, transport, security and other key smart sectors.
The electronic age began in the 1930s with the invention of the transistor and development of electronic circuits. This led to new technologies like the transistor radio, televisions, and early computers that facilitated more efficient long-distance communication. By the 1970s, the electronic age was in full swing as the digital computer became prevalent and economies transitioned to being information and computer-based. The ability to communicate instantly through various electronic mediums connected people globally and returned aspects of oral tradition.
Fiber optic cables transmit data using pulses of light sent through glass cores within the cables. Total internal reflection keeps the light pulses contained within the cores as they travel at high speeds, carrying binary data. At their destination, optical network terminals convert the light pulses back into electrical signals and Ethernet for use in connecting devices to the internet. Fiber optic cables provide greater bandwidth and higher security than alternatives like copper wires or satellite connections for data transmission.
This document discusses 10 major technological advances that have changed the world and how we live in it. It describes each technology including electricity, lasers, semiconductor chips, quantum computing, elevators, the Human Genome Project, automobiles, GPS, and smartphones. For each one it provides a brief overview of how it was developed and its impact, such as how electricity has become an irreplaceable tool, lasers are used in many industries, and semiconductor chips led to computers and mobile devices.
Information and communication technology (ICT) has profoundly impacted society by enabling global communication and affecting all aspects of human life. ICT refers broadly to technologies that provide access to information through telecommunications, including the Internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other communication mediums. It has revolutionized industries like banking, transportation, and retail by facilitating digital transformation. While ICT has created new opportunities and connected the world, it also presents challenges regarding privacy, unemployment, and technology addiction. The development of ICT is driven by advancements in computer technology, network infrastructure, communication devices, radio, television, and other technologies used to collect, store, analyze, and transmit information electronically.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
