Containers, wrappers, interoperability
Interesting that as industry begins to grapple with the standardization problem above the very low level mechanical, the wrappers have to get more and more complex because it turns out the choices of interfaces were not arbitrary and reflect considerable differences about just what each part of the overall system ought to do. So we end up with something of a container bottleneck, but for the best possible reason: the variety of structures that are needed reflects the variety of what systems are actually doing, not just a set of arbitrary engineer choices. 

Solving the container problem will probably shed vast amounts of light over the whole field of business telecommunications.

Digital Alive and Staying
Maybe the digital world is alive when it comes to robotics and as it relates to the online world to make things easier in a way for us.  We use digital things like digital cameras, watches, cable etc. I'm sure that times goes on people will be more accepting to it and then you have some that just don't really care for it and that will never change.

The Past Informs the Present
With technology applications and implementations becomeing so diverse, it's no surprise that the industry must become just as nimble. Using technology this way is relatively new, so clients and vendors will likely be on their toes for a while to get most out of it until there's more history to it.

Re: The Past Informs the Present
I am assuming @Shaun by history you're referring to data & analytics--hence what Mr. McReynolds noted as "the living creature"--the question is, though, how to harness it ever more?

Re: The Past Informs the Present
There's definitely no end in sight. This is how IT works - it's a constant process of continual change. 

Some people like that, and some people don't.

Re: The Past Informs the Present
@Bayte:  Survival is not enough--we have to thrive by making sure that we're not "taken in" by the craze of the moment (i.e BitCoin) and always, always, keep the big picture in mind.

@mpouraryan yes you are right but with Bitcoin it very interesting how it will play out on the end as wave always go down... BitCoin remind me of Bre-X Minerals Ltd - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bre-X

Re: The Past Informs the Present
@Bayte:  Appreciate the guidance--I understand, though, that BitCoin is just one of the many options out there in Cryptocurrency--the question is whether it is sustainable..Talk about "living creators"..I saw a note recently that if someone invested $ 5 in a bitcoin 7 years ago, it'd be worth 4 Million today ..>cheers :) :)

Re: The Past Informs the Present
@Batye I'm sorry to hear that as the craze is annoyingly deafening over hear. I personally put no stock in cryptocurrency and think that a lot of people are going to lose their shirt over this. Maybe people should be smart and invest their money in growing cable and telco companies instead.

I think the most important thing here is, even if history does repeat itself, we can learn from the mistakes and do it better the next time.
