implementing … EVOLVING!

New ways of living and enjoying life

New ways of travelling, commuting, telecommuting …

New ways of learning and teaching

New ways of raising families …


A NEW WORLD IS EMERGING ➔A NEW RENAISSANCE

❑ Air Travel ➔ Reduced> Teleconferencing, telecommuting, teleworking … ➔Fewer Airplanes ➔ No new terminals needed ➔ fewer pilots and stewards

Digitalization: Once you digitize a product or service (photography, finance, manufacturing, biology, etc...) into 1s and 0s, that product or service becomes an information-based technology and it hops on an exponential growth curve. Something digitized can be replicated and transmitted for a near-zero marginal cost.

Deceptive Growth: During the early days of exponential growth, the doubling of small numbers seem deceptively flat. Take for example the first Kodak Digital Camera that produced 0.01 Megapixel images. As it grew from 0.01, to 0.02, 0.04, 0.08... they all seem like zero. Same w/Microchips and Moore’s Law.

Disruptive Growth: What follows early deceptive growth is disruption. 30 doublings later something has grown 1 billion-fold. That first 0.01-megapixel Kodak camera is now generating a 10-megapixel image. The result of which is the complete dematerialization and demonetization of film photography.

Dematerialization: Products and services are becoming bits. I no longer have a clunky GPS on the dashboard of my car, today its an APP on my phone. Think about all the 1980s or '90s technology that now comes free on your cellphone: GPS, two-way video conferencing, HD video, HD photography, radio, books, records, maps, weather and much more. In Abundance I did a quick calculation to show that today’s smart phone comes with over a million dollars’ worth of technologies from the 1980s.

Demonetization: Once a product/service has become dematerialized into bits, its cost of replication and transmission is near zero and ultimately leads to their eventual demonetization. As an example, digital photography has totally demonetized the field.

Democratization: As products and services dematerialize and demonetize, they become available to billions of users across the planet. Today there are 3 billion people connected on planet Earth. By 2025 that will increase to 8 billion connected individuals. Create a digital banking or insurance product and you have the opportunity to market it across the globe.

advice, and act on that advice!

Servant Leaders serve others!
