Blazing fast networks, cheap silicon, always-on devices and a torrent of data will fundamentally change everything — how we consume media, how we work, how and what we buy and even who we are. The GigaOM team took 10 areas and examined how connectivity has profoundly changed them and will continue to change them in the future. We’ll dive into these ideas in even more detail at our GigaOM RoadMap event on Nov. 10 in San Francisco.

The SmartPhone inside the car will change Telematics and the insurance industry. You can now track driving behavior leveraging your smartphone to provide data about your driving. Usage Based Insurance (UBI) will now be a reality. See http://www.locationlabs.com/#
Nothing great in the list still you have covered all of them in one place that’s a unique idea. The best thing according to me is Wireless connectivity of PC’s and my iPhone.
That is only the beginning. The wireless connectivity of your phone with everything in your haouse and your workplace and to pay your bus ticket is nor far ahead.
@akash agarwal, totally agree on this. thanks!
@akash agarwal I agree, but why not extend this to other aspects of driving, instead of issuing speeding citations police could just send a standard bill for excessive speeds. We could reduce the cost of policing the roads. Just saying this makes me cringe btw…
What’s “devalued” in this… the person. You are worth nothing because someone anywhere else can do the same job for a fraction of the money. Your work becomes their work with the push of a button….
@sdinfoserv, Your comment makes me think of a recent talk I saw from Thomas Friedman. His message: Basically in this connected world people can’t afford to be average anymore, there’s too much competition with people competing for jobs on a global scale.
took you long enough :-) Holonomy, david bohm, karl pribram… the interconnectenes theory and holonomics, et al, have been waiting for the market to catch up so they (these innately interconnected works from both physics and neuropsych) could be their as guides… For me , I have waited almost 30 yrs for the marketplace.. my own human and hu-sys evolutionary ontology, and associated products born from it – “The EvoReVo!”, EcoMind, OneMind, LeToonz and LeCozmos, and the LeToonz Ah-Ha and Flo (and other) characters-as-variables within the next big shell/OS shift platform, apps and metrics. Thanks for working at punching a whole into the next wave.
