Re: Disruption = "Transformation"
@mpouraryan, great thoughts and I am with you. I think that is what we will and must learn new - is how to do all-of-the-above.

Re: Disruption = "Transformation"
In the meantime, a lot of Ordinary Faces are being left behind--as exemplified by the predicament in the Rust Belt States in the United States. This is where the challenge lies--and there are no easy answers.

Re: Disruption = "Transformation"
The key is to make sure that everyone--and I mean everyone--is part of the solution.

Re: Disruption = "Transformation"
@mpouraryan, you are right. This is where true leadership is involved to address the real issues and build solutions that make more winners, not win-lose. I believe that is our future.

Re: Disruption = "Transformation"
Let's remember we have to do more than hope--we have to do our part--I always take comfort in how Edion and Graham Bell saw "beyond the now"--that's our challenge now.

Re: Disruption = "Transformation"
@mpouraryan, very true - the change begins with us. I like those comments. That is the value of TT and education, digital communities of agreements, and demonstrations (ie leading competitors) of better ways in the future.
I can't and you can't alone, nor can these companies, but WE can! That is the magic of the US System - we need to get it back in full speed!
You get my vote.

Re: Disruption = "Transformation"
...we can't be fearful..that's for sure...but such does give me a profound sense of optimism:
What it is: In an effort to dramatically boost its production, Japanese vegetable producer Spread has announced plans to roll out a full array of industrial robots by mid-year 2017. The robots can perform every task except seed planting: they will sterilize water, adjust light levels, and monitor CO2 levels, temperature and humidity. Spread will deploy these robots in a facility akin to a vertical farm, and expects to increase production from 21,000 to 50,000 heads of lettuce right away. In five years, Spread expects its robot

Re: Disruption = "Transformation"
..and then we have this :(
I trust all understand the broad continued concerns I have:
What it is: Bank of America has opened three fully automated branches in the past month. Customers can use ATMs and participate in video conferences with the bank's employees from other branches -- all without the assistance of an in-person human. These automated branches have a smaller footprint than traditional branches, and employ technology with the intent of selling mortgages, credit cards and other auto loans.

Re: Disruption = "Transformation"
..sorry..going 2 fast and had to share this final "transformational" development (although a bit beyond our core focus), still important to underscore the essential implicit message I took away from this deliberation we've been engaged in...as I wish you all a great President's Day W-End:
What it is: For the first time ever, eye surgeons at University Hospitals Leuven worked with a surgical robot to operate on a patient with retinal vein occlusion. The bot injected a thrombolytic drug into the patient's retinal vein using a 0.03 millimeter needle (KU Leuven developed both the robot and needle specifically for this procedure). This task-specific surgical robot was created to address the danger of damaging the vein or retina, given that human surgeons are unable to hold the needle perfectly still for 10 minutes while injecting the drug into the thin vein. After seven years of research, this first phase demonstrated that using a robot to insert a microneedle into the retinal vein is feasible.
Why it's important: As more surgical-specific robots develop and operate, surgeries that were once challenging for human specialists will be performed with complete accuracy and consistency. What happens to longevity when we have robot surgeons all over the world, performing at a near-perfect standard? Join the Discussion

Re: Disruption = "Transformation"
I have to wonder: What's going to be more profitable? Will it be content? Or providing cloud services for data?
I would think enterprise-level cloud services might take the cake. Then again, content could someday take over.
