The DNA of ICT Evolutionfrom the industrial society to the information society

• Two main filaments:

– personalization

– distribution

• Bases:

– Ideal performance

– Ubiquity

– Flexibility

– Complexity

– Cognitivity

– Opportunism

– Cooperation

– Security

– Miniaturization

– Convergence
