eComm 2008 - Day Three
My battery is empty and memory is full. Some of the best were arranged for last.
Most of the afternoon was with a great panel exploring where the next wave of wireless innovation will come from. Quite a few still banking on Android, while others claimed nothing until you had something to take to the bank. Overall it was way to cordial given Vodaphone’s Sr. Director for research was sitting next to Skype’s.
The day ended off with two great futurist presentations. I hope to go into more detail in later posts because some of the statements were jaw-on-the-floor profound.
Michel Bauwens, one of the founders of the P2P Foundation discussed what happens when we move from the closed and paid quadrant to the open and free quadrant as a result of peer generated everything. He postulates that most problems will be solved better by communities than by corporations assembling staff.
The day then ended with Sheldon Renan laying out his view of Netness. This is when “hyperconnectivity” becomes everything and is more than just networks and systems. Connectivity moves from graph edges to a field. He promises to publish more soon.
