My keynote at Drupalcon SF on April 20, 2009. Similar to my talk at OSBC, MySQL and Greenplum, but with a bit of a drupal twist. Ending riff on DIY inspired by Isaiah Saxon's comments on my MySQL keynote.
“I’m an inventor.
I became interested in
long term trends
because an invention
has to make sense in the
world in which it is
finished, not the world in
which it is started.”
-Ray Kurzweil

knowledge of innovators

O’Reilly Radar Methodology
“The future is here. It’s just not evenly distributed
yet.” - William Gibson
We “watch the alpha geeks” and think about the
futures they are living in
We then look for trend data that tells us that a
particular future is becoming mainstream
I’m going to tell you some seemingly unconnected
technology stories from the front lines of
innovation. Then we’re going to connect the dots.

Innovation in Action
Hackers build devices that show off possible
futures
Entrepreneurs and innovative companies take
these futures and push them to the mainstream
Tuesday, April 20, 2010
The cloud future includes...
Devices acting as sensors for intelligent data
collection
Devices whose UI is on the web rather than the
device
Feeding data into multiple online services that will
turn into a full-on sensor web
Setting the stage for robotics, augmented reality,
and the next generation of personal electronics

What we see here
Peer-to-peer credit card payments
Social networks used for risk evaluation
The PC is out of the loop
The phone is a sensor platform
– Hardware add-on innovation
– Location based sensing
– Touch screen UI
Processing is done in real time in the cloud
– Allowing processing that can’t be done on the device
– Big data analysis
– Building new networks on the back of existing ones
Reinventing a major industry

We’re moving to a world in which every device
generates useful data, in which every action
creates “information shadows” on the net.

Cloud Computing
“You keep using that word. I do not think it
means what you think it means.”
Tuesday, April 20, 2010
The Internet Operating System is a Data Operating System
It helps applications find out about
– People
– Places
– Things
– Prices
– Documents
– Images
– Sounds
– Relationships
– ...
and helps people interact with them through services
– Search
– Payment
– Matching and Recognition
– ...

This is the 21st century data challenge
Not transactions
Not data warehouses and business intelligence
Not database-backed web sites
Not even NoSQL-backed web services
Real time cloud-based intelligence delivered to
mobile applications
Algorithmic intelligence
Tuesday, April 20, 2010
This is the world that Drupal
must be designed to support
