Imagine a pill bottle that can track when medicine has been taken, or a vending
machine that automatically sends a message to corporate only when it needs
replenishing. These are just some examples that exist today in the evolving
global technology world that connects us. Anywhere provides a glimpse into the
near future where people and technology converge on a scale we’ve not seen
before.
In fact, Nagle refers to it more as a revolution. Based on her years of
research on several technologies including broadband and internet as CEO of the
Yankee Group, she is an authority on the changing connectivity landscape and
what it means to individuals and businesses. In fact, Nagle estimates the
“Anywhere Network Economy” will generate $1 trillion in global revenues by
2012. This is the heart of what Nagle refers to as “ubiquitous connectivity”
that connects us and the things we care about.
Nagle separates these changes into the key components of a common digital
network, broadband demand, and wireless ubiquity. Each of these areas represent
key puzzle pieces that allow the sharing of intelligent content instantly and
rapid response as the norm. Her analysis and examples of how the process is
already changing every facet of our lives is amazing. Every second
breakthroughs propel people and systems forward in the evolving digital era. If
you’re looking for a unique overview of how the technology you use today will
impact you’re your everyday life, Always is a must read.
