Finn: "This pressure - the feeling that if you do not, you get nothing - really exists. Rate at which point a new technology adds value to your business, and if this does not happen, then it is normal to enter the late majority and allow others to fill the cones, if you do this direction is not particularly critical ». Blockquote> Going further, it is worth noted that technology, which, according to Gartner, will become mainstream, not earlier than 10 years are more likely to science fiction: it is, for example, holographic displays, quantum computing, and human augmetika (mechanical body modification). Analysis of this curve - an entertaining process of learning technologies of the near future, from the relatively well-known to absolutely exotic. "Employers need to weigh the" pros and cons "augmetiki compared with growing opportunities working robots, including because the use of robots is without prejudice to the ethical and legal aspects of the issue, unlike augmetiki" - said Gartner.
Plenty of room for futurists h4> Beyond the 10-year horizon, you find yourself in an area in which work mainly futurists who study the development of technology.
Steve Brown, a futurist at Intel, said that within 10 years, the future of computing will be determined by three mega-trend. "They are very simple - it is decreasing, increasing and naturalness," - he said.
"Reduction" - a consequence of Moore's Law, this trend will determine the development of small devices with low power consumption and significantly increase the likelihood of the spread of portable gadgets and the Internet of Things. "Increase" refers to the continued growth of computing power, and "naturalness" - a condition in which the objects of everyday life are endowed with some computing power.
"Calculations were our final point: [before] you had to go somewhere, to implement them - for example, in a room with a huge humming computers that you had to wait - to get there, you had to be lucky. And then came the era in which the calculation is made possible to produce on the fly ", - says Brown.
«In the next era will be integrated in the calculation of the world around us - as soon as you can to achieve it, you will eventually do all the things around you able to perform calculations - you can all turn to the computer. And once that happens, will be very interesting things "- continues to Brown. Blockquote> At this point, a new computing power will cause a number of problems for the management of the business, said Brown. CIO and complexity for enterprise-architects will consist in the fact that by making everything capable of computing, they need to address the question of how to use it. "In the future we will be faced with the philosophical questions that you should answer before deploying a new technology," - says Brown.
He foresees the emergence of ubiquitous computing power of the world in which robots will be able to observe and understand all the processes around.
"Stand-alone machines изменят all », - he said. "Enterprises face difficulties when people have to work side by side with the machines - both physical machines and algorithms. Businesses will not be easy to find the most efficient solution of a problem, which will consist of works carried out, and the process that one way or another can be optimized through the use of algorithms ».
Accelerated pace of technological development: where the decisions we took decades, now processes occur faster and faster, says Brown. And all this means that we need to make more informed decisions about how to use new technologies, and have to deal with ever more complex issues related to information security.
"If we use this or that technology will improve if it ourselves? We all have to decide in advance what to use to get better. At the enterprise level, we need to define what we achieve and how we want to work ».
It's not just about the programs and the "iron» h4> For many organizations, an obstacle to this beautiful future is your own staff and your company's ways of working. Determine where to invest, can be much easier than persuading staff and the entire organization to change the usual format of activity.
"We need to define the essence of the relationship between people and technology, because now the vast majority of people perceive technology is incorrect", - says Dave Coplin, Head of Forecasting Microsoft (he says that it is quite ironic name for his position).
Koplin observes that many of us tend to use new technologies to carry out the tasks usual way, as they have been made over the years, while the essence of the new technology is to force us to fundamentally change the approach to the tasks. A classic example - the concept of productivity: "We had to reconsider its attitude towards productivity. Unfortunately, many believe that productivity - this process: the better I perform the process, so I'm more productive. This shifts the focus of our attention, because in reality productivity related solely to the increase in performance. " Three-quarters of employees believe that a productive day at the office is to review and respond to all the accumulated letters, he said.
Develop a more literate relationship with technology is necessary because of the major changes coming, says Coplin: "What happens when technology goes by the wayside, what happens when every surface it is possible to derive contextual information based on what's going on and that who looks at her? This is the world to which we are moving - a world where data naked many ethical questions. If we do not prepare people for these changes, we will never be able to carry out most of them ».
Nicolas Millyar, futurologist from giant telecom industry, the company BT, echoed these ideas, stating that the CIO will have to take into account not only technological change, but also how they affect people: extension of seniority will require the creation of technologies that fit and the young staff, and people over 70. This entails rethinking the concept of workplace employee "Openspeys without partitions can distract employees from work," - he says - "But is it possible to generate innovations in gray cubbyhole? Employees who use tablets, may prefer to work without using the traditional tables, and to those who will use the devices that respond to gestures, you may need more space. Even the manager's role may change - it will be less about giving orders and monitoring their implementation, and to a greater extent will be similar to the duties of "party host": manager will look for employees with the most appropriate combination of skills to perform a specific job ».
In the longer term fundamentally change not only the technology itself: employees and managers will also have to create a new way of thinking.
