Hot topics headline agenda at ITU Telecom World 2013
Key players from across industry share views on network virtualization, Big Data and the future Internet
Bangkok, 22 November 2013 – Debates this week at ITU Telecom World 2013 spanned a huge range of topics from social and mobile apps to the transformative impact of the Internet in Africa.
Inspirational futurist Gerd Leonhard, CEO, Futures Agency, delivered a compelling, challenging, and at times chilling glimpse into a possible near future dominated by data, digital dependence and dramatic sociological changes.
Over the next ten years, human-to-machine interfaces will take us far beyond connected fridges, self-parking cars and intelligent wristwatches – and at an unbelievable pace, as real life begins to outstrip fiction. Artificial intelligence will augment our bodies and extend our personalities into devices, as chips as small as 5 nanometres across become fast, cheap and embedded in everything.
It is very thankful of ITU that they make every event so informative to public.
As mentioned in this blog post, time for future internet is coming soon. Is the internet of future going to be available for the third world countries where broadband is still a dream? Hope ITU will try to discuss on this as well.
