Here we are ... my first post on my brand new blog :-) ...
I couldn't refrain myself starting from the cloud made by the bunch of data that our digital lives evaporates every day. Almost anybody has a social network account ... Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin...
A digital alias that keep changing, evolving with us. Where are this data, where are they gonna be in future and for how long ?
The data are in the cloud, shared and available to any sort of research ... the legal boundaries that prevent their misuse are thin and easy to cross...
I know it is scary :-) ... But I don't mean to make you paranoid about privacy.
This digitalization process of our social life will not stop... it will increase his magnitude ! This is not some foolish collective insanity. The reason is that human being needs to communicate to be recognized. Even before start talking, humans feel the need of being recognized among their group. We are social animals and Internet is boosting our evolutionary instinct of socialization.
Corporates of any sort try to catch those needs not of course for philanthropy but for their commercial purposes. The hungry for social network is pervading any industry sector.
Despite those epochal changes the most "traditional" software firms struggle to keep up with the innovation. There are several reason behind this...
The technical approach of software architects have not yet changed. Application still designed mostly with a traditional approach.
Most of the applications just integrate social networks, are not thought as part of a social network.
Google, Amazon and many others are offering cloud computing opportunity that makes virtually possible even for a small start-up to access amazing computational resources ...The data in the cloud are massive but only a fraction of them is effectively analyzed and properly used.
We are going to warp speed...while someone still riding a bike ....
So how this will ends up ?
I am not sure, but as it happen for any evolutionary change, dinosaurs will die and new life forms will take their place...
