Technology evolves in big waves that we call revolutions. The first revolution was the Industrial revolution that started in Britain in 1771. Since than we have see more revolutions come and how we are in the fifth. These revolutions follow a similar path. First there is an installation period where the new technologies are installed and deployed, creating wealth to those who were are the right place at the right time. This is followed by a frenzy, where financial markets wants to be apart. The there is crash and turning point, followed by synergy, a golden age.
In 1908, a new technological revolution started. It was the Age of Oil and Automobile. The technology trigger was Henry Ford´s new assembly line technique that allowed the manufacturing of standardized, low cost automobile. This created the car industry and other manufacturing companies. This also created demand for gas thus creating the oil industry. During the Roaring Twenties the stock prices rose to new levels, until a crash and the Great Depression. Only after World War II, came a turnaround point followed by a golden age in the post-war boom.
In this lecture we look at a framework for understanding technological revolutions. There revolutions completely change societies and replace the old with new technologies. We will explore how these revolutions take place. We should now be in the golden age phase.
We also look at generations.
We are in the 4th Iteration of the Industrial Revolution and Computer Integrated Manufacturing. This presentation offers a historical perspective as to how got here and why 4IR is more than another age. It is a new Renaissance

These are the top realizations resulting from the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Some of them are positive and some of them are negative, but they are important in terms of pondering the future and even take action as a society.
Proving the value of social in business transformationMAD//Fest London
For Uber, social has a pivotal role in driving perception and brand growth. It sees a social-first approach as fundamental to its future but how on earth do you implement a social-first strategy at one of the world’s most recognisable disruptive and in-the-news brands? Join Uber’s Kelly McConville and Iris Amsterdam’s Paul Greenep for insight on how social underpins Uber’s approach to marketing, innovation and customer experience.

Philadelphia Futurism 2018: A local take on the next 20 yearsJohn Cardone
The world will change more in the next 20 years than in the past 300 years. Artificial intelligence, self driving cars, robotics, the blockchain, the internet of things–the list goes on! Exponential technologies will produce waves of change, some good, others not so good. How will Philadelphia ride those waves? Will we drive change, or will we be driven by it?
In this exciting presentation and discussion, a diverse panel of local experts will help us explore how the technological “Megashifts” of today will affect the Philadelphia of tomorrow.

Robin Wauters - Webtomorrow 2015 presentationRobin Wauters
Presentation on the increasing 'decentralisation of entrepreneurship', showcasing that the creation of $1 billion+ software companies is no longer exclusive to Silicon Valley or the United States in general. In fact, 60% of global software 'unicorns' today were not built in the Valley.
The presentation also features a list of European success stories across various categories, and examples of promising Belgian tech startups and established companies operating in those sectors.
Technology is one of the factors of change. When new disruptive technology is introduced, it can change industries. We have many examples of that and will start this journey it one of the most important innovation that has come in our lifetimes, the smartphone. We will explore the impact of the smartphone and the fate of existing companies at the time when iPhone, the first smartphone as we know them, was introduced to the world.
We will also look at other examples from history. Then we look at the broader picture, past industrial revolutions and the one that we are experiencing now, the fourth industrial revolution. Specifically we look briefly at the technologies that fuel this revolution, for example artificial intelligence, robotics, drones, internet of things and more.

My slides setting the scene for the Connected World Summit 2019 an event covering Emerging Technology for Smart Cities, Connected Places & Tomorrow's Digital World. I covered how we live in exponential times. There has never been a time of greater promise of greater peril. We are dealing with a digital enterprise wave that, with AI, 5G, IoT and Blockchain is turning in top a Digital Tsunami. We are creating data faster than ever, but watch the numbers game and make sure you get your facts and ideas straight. Just like the parable of the 6 blind men and the elephant, everyone sees the connected world topic differently.

AI – Risks, Opportunities and Ethical Issues.pdfAdam Ford
Adam Ford, data professional and futurologist, will assess the prospect of transformative artificial intelligence (AI) in the near and mid-term future, and discuss the ethical importance of building an AI that is smarter and more capable than humanity.
He will explore how AI may outpace human capability in most (or possibly all) areas of economic usefulness – i.e. automated science, engineering and technological development – resulting in explosive progress that is likely to be more significant than the agricultural and industrial revolutions of the past.
Adam will discuss the notion of intelligence, what is missing in AI now, and the importance of ‘understanding’ in biological intelligence. He will address a variety of expert opinions on progress in AI capability and timelines, and make recommendations for achieving good outcomes.
Stewart A. Skomra is a rare individual defining the adage “experience trumps theory.”
He has immersed himself deep within myriad industries spanning multiple initiatives, cultures, and countries; accumulating knowledge and experience ‘walking-the-walk’ to support ‘talking-the-talk’ with a deep conviction of an ever-brighter, technology-enhanced, continually improving human experience.
Our collaboration on topics ranging from the sanctity of the individual to macro cyclical trends resulting from the confluence of Societal-Economic-Technology factors has enabled each of us to advance our thinking much further than we ever could have individually.
I look forward to continuing our journey to realize the vision of an ever-expanding, continually vibrant future.
We welcome all individuals oriented toward the pursuit of good built on a foundation of truth to join with us.

Paper for Oxford University (Merton College) course on "Did the Victors lose the Peace?", Summer 2015.
(International Relations & Economics, 1945-2015)
The smartphone has completely changed how people communicate, collaborate, discover, shop and do all sorts of things. This always-on device is in order of magnitude more powerful than the biggest computers in the 60s and now we carry it with us wherever we go. Smartphones combined with cloud technologies and real-time algorithms, are moving us to a transformation phase as software algorithms will transform traditional businesses be it in retail, banking, construction, education and so on. We are entering times of great disruption.

2. IN A NUTSHELL
• Fasten your seatbelts! HUMAN POTENTIAL is in for a ride
• The next TWO DECADES will bring unprecedented economic opportunities
• Soon, EVERY COMPANY will be a ‘technology company’
• ENTREPRENEURS are leading the knowledge storm
4. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
Human capital is the stock of knowledge, habits, social and personality attributes, including
creativity, embodied in the ability to perform labor so as to produce economic value.

5. THIS IS THE REAL “J” CURVE
We are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth. — Vernor Vinge

7. AI IS AROUND THE CORNER
Caliber 1) Artificial Narrow Intelligence
(ANI): specializes in one area: chess
Caliber 2) Artificial General Intelligence
(AGI): a computer that is as smart as a
human across the board—a machine
that can perform any intellectual task
that a human being can
Caliber 3) Artificial Super Intelligence
(ASI): an intellect that is much smarter
than the best human brains in
practically every field, including
scientific creativity, general wisdom
and social skills.
First, stop thinking of robots. A robot is a container for AI, sometimes mimicking the human
form, sometimes not—but the AI itself is the computer inside the robot (i.e. software).

8. RUNNING WITH THE MACHINE
In a smart process, people are an inherent and desired part of the process or activity. The end
goal is to make people more effective and productive
