Envisioning the future

I'm asked at almost every speaking engagement or customer event
to share my perspective of the future as it relates to 3D Internet.
As my ideas begin I often think back to the beginning of the worldwide web and how important it was to simply link documents and information.

Today we see the same emphasis on linking people. I do believe fundamentally that is the most important part of my work. Whether I am coaching my team to collaborate or actively collaborating with others inside and outside the company, it's connecting and building meaningful solutions to the problems, whether they are social, government or business.

The lines between these bodies are not as clearly defined as they once were, but I'm certain there is something to the triad in the three key organizational groups. No doubt it gives an odd challenge and balance approach to human systems. I guess Benjamin Franklin got it right in this design!

Clearly, the vision of the sensory web is new but I can tell you many are intrigued by it. Last night I attended Villanova's Computing Summit. We had great discussions around motivating and recruiting students to go into computer science. It's clearly an ongoing need and I was glad to be able to share my experience and my outlook on "cool" things you can do at work. It's certainly a fun place to be working right now and it's really fun to think we are setting the stage for the next generation Internet.
