Neoplantis

Neoplantis was at the IBM's Think Summit today! Highlights: 2.5 quintillion of data are produced each day worldwide. That’s 18 zeros folks, in case you’re wondering. Knowledge is not a privilege anymore. Any information can be found online these days. However, how we combine information and put it all together in a meaningful and profitable way is the art of data science. A half-life of most high-tech skills today is only 5 years! Half-life is the time required for exactly 50% of your skills to become obsolete. And of course, a lunch break with Masai Ujiri, President of Toronto Raptors. Have a look

THE DEATH OF BRANDS IS INEVITABLE In our not so distant future, waning interest in brands and growing interest in data connectivity and security will drive consumers’ purchases. Check this out Your Morning Commute In 2030... It’s a sunny Monday morning, and you’re ready for work. The vehicle you ordered Sunday arriveslet’s call it ACES, short fort Autonomous, Connected, Electrified and Sharedand you get in. The first thing ACES does is wish you a happy birthday. As you buckle up, it plays Birthday by the Beatles as social media greetings from family and friends flash across the interior’s multiple screens. ACES departs for your destination, picking a route that avoids traffic while making a detour so you can pick up dry cleaning. It begins playing your newest audiobook, picking up right where you left off listening in the kitchen. Along the way, ACES quietly scans your health vitals and coordinates with your fitness app. It checks your house in case the washer or TV was left on. ACES suggests you might walk the last mile because you missed your exercise target last week. ACES pings a list of locally approved businesses as you go. While passing the theater, it suggests a concert your spouse wants to attend. ACES checks your calendars, ticket prices and availability, then confirms the purchase. Approaching your destination, ACES stops so you can take that walk. It makes a note of any new preferences in your mobility profile before wishing you a good day. It then heads to its next scheduled customer, setting up their personalized experience en route.
