My brain was wired to wonder what would happen 10 years down the line. Not with my life, but with the profession that I am attached with, of computer software.
In 2000, I believed we would be selling songs on the internet, doing infrastructure management remotely and need security consulting for organisations in ICT and most of that is true.
Now, what next.
When I look at the current landscape in technology + businesses, where is what generally happens. Startups, which do various business models providing similar services, eventually merging to form large companies to provide scale, as and when the service becomes a commodity.
The interesting nature of the startups from around 2005 is simple, automate.
Automate the way we live our life.
What will we do when we have reached this level of automation, and a particular level of efficiency -
Cars are no longer produced for individuals to purchase, but can be 'rented' for short periods. Public/Private scaled transport can be utilized which directly identifies you and deducts monies from your account based on where you got on and got off. The same goes for train travels and for fuel stations when you have rented cars.
On the organizational side, one thing is for sure -
The software backbone for many countries would be owned by the USA, which would have taken over Google. It would have become the platform for governments.
The USA + Google + Amazon combine would provide as services all layers of the cloud alongwith the required information. It would have become the company for hire whenever there would be a conflict.
Still in progress..
