The T.I.D.E.S. of Change, Part One: Technology

Dr. Graeme Codrington

"As the world slowly emerges out of recession over the next few years, it will become increasingly clear that this was more than just an economic downturn. Disruptive forces are significantly reshaping the world of work. Some of these changes have been brewing for a decade or more – and now this recession has exacerbated their influence and speeded up their effects. Companies that have survived the downturn need to shift their focus to surviving the upturn. We are not ever going to “get back to normal” – a new normal is emerging for everyone, everywhere." Dr. Graeme Codrington

Questions for Dr. Graeme Codrington:

Graeme I'd like to start our discussion of the the key drivers of disruptive change where you did -- with Technology. You write "Over the past 20 years, the power of computing technology has increased by over a million times." That's somewhat difficult to comprehend, as well as all the changes they continue to create - can you share some of your thoughts with us on this topic?
What changes do you envision over the next few years in Web 2.0 and social media technologies? (Convergence and what it means to corporations)
There was an article I read about the prevalence of holiday shoppers here in the states to use bar code readers on the smart phones to check prices. I have an app on my iPhone called Red Laser which does just that....
One of the most fascinating new technologies is AR - augmented reality - can you briefly describe how this works?
User generated content - Look at Twitter. The first reports of the US Air jet landing in the Hudson River were Tweets - not AP or CBS - the attack in Mumbai was reported over Twitter, -- where do you see traditional news reporting three years from now?
