Last week, Cisco Live in Orlando gave me the opportunity to discuss the future of technology with a broad cross-section of business leaders and self-professed "geeks"-both in person and via social media. In my keynote on Tuesday, I outlined a vision of what life in 2023 could be like, enabled by the Internet of Everything (IoE). And I enjoyed some lively conversations in response to this vision. Here are a few of the themes that emerged:
How we implement these sweeping changes will create new winners and losers across all industries. Earlier this year, Cisco analysis showed that IoE will create$14.4trillionin Value at Stake over the next decade. And our most recent groundbreaking research -called the IoE Value Index-shows that$1.2 trillion of value is "up for grabs" in calendar year 2013 alone.
Many of the people I met at Cisco Live will be the innovators who create this value-and who will develop the new solutions that will transform every aspect of our lives. Reflecting on the conversations I had, it's clear that this technology community is engaged, forward-thinking, and inspired by growing opportunities to create real solutions to real problems through the Internet of Everything.
How do you see the future shaping up in the Internet of Everything? Join me, @DavetheFuturist, in the conversation at#IoE2023.
