One of the information technological topics\/advancements that companies and brands are talking about right now and in the near coming future, is Internet of Things (IoT). I took a strong interest in this area ever since my overseas trip to Canon EXPO Shanghai conference in 2016<\/a> and learning first hand on IoT from a company’s perspective, as well as visiting Greenwave Systems during CommunicAsia 2016<\/a> and CommunicAsia 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n Most recently in 2017, I also attended The Future Workplace with Dell<\/a> and a seminar on F1 Technology and The Impact on Healthcare<\/a>, adding on to my reading and understanding on the subject matter IoT. Although I am not a subject expert, I do have a keen interest on how IoT is going to impact and affect how we humans use and consume technology in the future. The future of IoT can help us live and work better, it can also affect us with the possibility of replacing our jobs.<\/p>\n What is the next era of Human-Machine partnerships? How is it going to be like? Are you afraid or are you excited? Will your job still be there in the next 5 to 10 years or will it be replaced by technology and machines? Last but not least, are you ready for IoT to be even more integrated in your work and home in the coming near future (IMHO, it might be as early as 5-10 years away) ?<\/p>\n Dell has partnered with the\u00a0Institute for the Future<\/a>\u00a0(IFTF) and 20 global experts to study\u00a0the changing relationship between people and technology and how the relationship will manifest itself in society, business and work over the next decade<\/b>.\u00a0Dell is sharing the results today from the report titled \u2018The next era of human machine partnerships<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n While I am reading up on the reports, their views and analysis, I am also sharing key information and links here for the readers, from the press release below:<\/p>\n Dell Technologies commissioned the study to help companies navigate an uncertain world and prepare for the future. Today, digital disruption is ruthlessly redrawing industries. For the first time in modern history, global leaders can\u2019t predict how their industry will fare further down the line. According to\u00a0Dell\u2019s Digital Transformation Index<\/a>,61% of APJ business leaders have experienced significant disruption to their industries as a result of digital technologies. And more than half of businesses believe there\u2019s a possibility their company will become obsolete within the next three to five years.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n The report forecasts that emerging technologies, supported by massive advancements in software, big data and processing power, will reshape lives. Society will enter a new phase in its relationship with machines, which will be characterized by:<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n Other report highlights include:<\/strong><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n <\/u>Additional and useful links for further reading<\/p>\n Personal Thoughts and Views<\/strong><\/p>\n No matter how we want to look at IoT, we cannot avoid it, even if some of you don’t want to look at it or ignore it. The future of IoT is going to impact us in both good and bad ways. Like the Scout’s motto, “Be Prepared”, we have to be prepared, for the upcoming changes, to change, adapt, innovate, learn and re-learn, adopt, move on and grow together with IoT. If not, you might become obsolete and be left behind.<\/p>\n * Information courtesy of Dell Technologies and Cohn & Wolfe Singapore *<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the information technological topics\/advancements that companies and brands are talking about right now and in the near coming future, is Internet of Things (IoT).
