THE INFORMATION AGE Like the Industrial Revolution, we are in the midst of the Information Revolution The railroads laid track and allowed people to get from one side of the country to the other the Internet has laid tracks (fiber cables) and allowed us to go anywhere in the world We are changing the way the world works because of collection and analytics of information Digital technology will drive business improvement and innovation 5. DIGITALIZATION Digitalization occurs when things become part of the digital world, or things are created in it Convergence of the real world and the digital world comes closer every day it might one day be indistinguishable 6. THE INTERNET The internet has many uses, and many levels On the surface, we see the exchange of information as web pages, media, emails, etc Deeper down, theres the exchanges that happen through interconnected people, devices and things And theres the information about the information, called meta data 7. INTERNET OF THINGS Sometime during 2008, the number of things connected to the Internet exceeded the number of people on planet Earth International Data Corporation said the installed base of things connected will be 212 billion by the end of 2020, including 30.1 billion connected autonomous things. Intelligent systems will be installed and collecting data by this point (M2M) Cars, buildings, phones, will all be communicating via the internet Sensors will be everywhere and as they get cheaper, things get smart driving the growth of the IoT 8. SOME THINGS 9. 3D PRINTING 10. 3D PRINTING CREATES SOMETHING FROM NOTHING! 3D printing is additive manufacturing, versus the traditional subtractive process 11.

INFORMATION IS KING The information about the package is just as important as the package itself Fred Smith, FedEx Founder, Chairman, President & CEO 1978 = So if we can print in 3D based on a set of information, whats more important; The information about the object (the meta data) or the object itself? 14. THE CLOUD 15. WHAT IS THE CLOUD? The cloud refers to a massive amount of computing resources, which are highly available for access and storage 16. CLOUD DESCRIBED The benefits of the cloud are: Instant computing Highly scalable, as little or as much computing power as is needed Not sensitive to peaks and valleys of information flow Highly available from anywhere Backup and recovery can be almost instantaneous Can be cost efficient The drawbacks of the cloud are Higher risk to information assets Compatibility with existing infrastructure Standardization Resource monitoring Expectation of availability increases Regulatory hurdles (intra- and inter-country) Must be always online to access resources 17. WHY DO WE CARE? 18. ANYONE CAN OWN A BUSINESS 19. SOCIAL 20. SOCIAL COLLABORATION 21.
