Determinism: A Short Cut

  • The long term sneaky way to change the world without ever asking permission or having to try to convince those who will be forced to change and already hate the idea, whatever it is and no matter what it is, before you even thought of it.
  • Change key, interconnected tools, and the rest of the system will change.

Technological Determinism

  • Technological systems are interconnected webs.
  • The history of such systems shows a consistent repeating pattern.
  • Changes in the speed, power or complexity of one part causes comparable changes in all other parts to which it is connected.

One Word: Database

  • Tools are viral containers of ideas.
  • How we think differently from their use is often even more important than what they actually do.
    • Do you remember the first time you clicked instead of typed?
    • Do you remember pocket protector wearers saying GUI was a waste of time and resources, and was the SAME AS TYPING COMMANDS?
    • The viral idea was the connection between interface, function and data, and they could not see it.
  • The dominant tool, metaphor, idea of our time is the database.

Convergence

  • The coming together or merging of:
    • Jurisdictions
    • Industries
    • Companies
    • Tools and technologies
    • Products and devices
    • Professions and skills
    • Jobs
  • The viral spread of IT across and within industries and elements of life

Analog: Standardization

  • Nut, screws and bolts
  • Rails
  • Electricity
  • Auto tires
  • Paper
  • Plumbing and lumber
  • Drove the greatest expansion of human productive capacity in history and a lot of extinctions

Digital: Standardization

  • Data (XML in every industry)
  • Networks (IP everything)
  • Software (Web Services and SOA)
  • Storage (the one file holy grail)
  • Human Computer Interface (see me, feel me)
  • Processing (Gird for the Virtual Grid)
  • And the effect will be at least as large…
  • Technological bow waves…
