My
father linked me an interesting TEDx Talk; Ray Kurzweil talking about
the progress of innovation toward Artificial Intelligence. You can see
the full video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe7hG1NXVdw&sns=em.
It really got me thinking about what we're doing now, but more
importantly, where we're heading toward into the future - and how
quickly. There were two main topics of interest for me from the video.

a small step back into reality, what we can take from this is that
there is a lot more innovation to come in the near future - and we
shouldn’t be wasting time trying to predict or prepare ourselves for
it. Instead we should be open-minded and base our current technology
developments with the culture of ‘Agile’; being able to embrace new
technologies and/or redirect our development path with minimal effort
in order to match whatever comes in the future.
In relation to our Building Automation Industry, and Big Data; since it
is almost inevitable that Cloud Computing will only get (to quote Daft
Punk) harder, better, faster, stronger - the most invaluable thing you
can be doing currently is to collect your data (information). We may
all have ethernet cables plugged into our skulls in the future - but
I’m highly doubtful of seeing time travel come to fruition in my
lifetime, so if you aren’t collecting it now - you’ve lost it forever!
