They are not parallel. The intimate relationship of these domains has previously resulted in collateral homeostasis due in part to their interdependence. Current changes in these domains are leading to collateral change. This presentation focuses on the confluence of these changes. As technologists, we see technology and related business change daily.
Economic change is less obvious but more radical.
It is inadequate to support new economic models, which involve going beyond those boundaries. This presentation explores the next generation of computing based on the confluence of radical and coincidental changes in economics, business, and technology. Whereas technology is a key enabler of change, it is the servant, not the master. Without a depth of understanding of this enabling role and the context in which technology serves, technology can be misguided and its developers can lose perspective. This presentation outlines a proposal made to the US President's Office of Science and Technology for technology research for the next decade, which calls for new computational models and infrastructure to support the next generation of computing, collaborative computing.
