Just another evolutionary story.

THE MOBILE ECOSYSTEM

Not that long ago…We talked about a computer.

It filled an entire room.

But pretty soon came the PC.First in the offices.

And consequently at home.

And they became portableFirst to support mobile co-workers likes sales representatives.

And consequently at home.

It still wasn’t good enough to work on the couch.

So then came the SmartphoneWhich was actually not a computer…

But had the guts to act as one for people at home.

Tablets were next up.Who are very comfy on the couch.

It impacts life, it impacts business, it impacts politics, it impacts everything.

SOME SORT OF MOBILE ECOSYSTEM EVOLVED

App stores all over.Was only step 1 for the ecosystem to develop.

Social media apps in the storesAllowed people to connect on the go.

Interconnected peopleWas the second step that contributed to the mobile ecosystem.

To say the least.

A GUESS:INTERCONNECTED OBJECTS

The Internet of Things.Interconnected objects might be the next big thing to integrate in the mobile ecosystem.

Experts don’t call it mobile anymore but the Internet of Things.

I believe both are about to come together.

Auto-ordering, recipe integration,…

The dietist of the future might be your next fridge.

The Intelligent DoorknobImagine an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ doorknob…

A doorknob that can see, listen and speak…

He spots me with a large shopping bag and intelligently and politely opens the door for me.

Pretty sure it will have an impact on life.

IMPACT?

Yes and No.

IS THIS NEAR FUTURE?

We’re working very hard to get there.

The following technologies might play an important role…

AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND
