When machines…

…come to our rescue!

Possible subtitle:

A few axiomatic things I need to get off my chest…

….that may give you a wider perspective(?)

We build top down to create complex things to complete simple tasks…

Mother Nature builds bottom up to create simple things to achieve the complex!

We are now the limiters of progress…technology is advancing faster than we can respond...

..but it may not be that way forever!

No individual can ever understand these!

Everybody is on line...

>4Bn people have mobile phones and >50% are internet ready!

Soon it will be everything!

Everything in the universe is governed by non-linearity and chaotic actions….

…but we are linear and limited thinkers devoidof tools & techniques tohelp us comprehend…

If we have a long-term future it lies with our technology and machines and their ability to help us extend our knowledge & understanding

A false sense of confidence!

Our educational perception

The unknown

The known The unknown

The known

Our post-education experience

No human leader, from the past, present or future has the wisdom & ability to govern a complex planet!

No human scientist, past, present or future has the wisdom & ability to understand a complex planet!

There are lots of simple solutions to complex problems…

…and they are all wrong!

Single issue thinking is now dead or dangerous

People look at problems through one of these:

When they actually need one of these:

How will we dealwith the complex ?

So why isn’t my laptop intelligent?

How about: - sensors? - adaptability?

But we are rolling out intelligent sensors!And our machines will see, hear, smell….…detect and communicate in a way and

at a rate we cannot!

The sociology of people & animals will be overtaken by the sociology of fixed & mobile things

What can machines do now?

Genetically ~99.4% human

If ~0.6% matters so much…

no wonder IT systems are so dumb!

Experience??

Gradually our machinesare sensing more than us!

Thank you….
