There was a report shared on LinkedIn from Andreessen Horowitz on their top 16 trends for 2015 and beyond. I find their list interesting mostly because I’ve blogged about most of the components they discussed on one of the blogs I write for.
In reviewing the post (follow the link above) I find I agree with the 16 trends they have selected. I do think they could consider much more of an impact – for example, while VR is cool today the impact it will have on the “sensorization[1]” of the enterprise and 3d printing make it even more interesting. Imagine a Minority Report (movie by Stephen Spielberg) enterprise security system that mixed virtual and physical security systems into a single viewable system. Imagine also, the smaller more agile VR helmet you could don to view that system.
The report shows the trends. I think in the end the real value of forwarding-looking views is the interconnections. Where the security and application containers merge with VR infrastructures to support not only a real-time view but the ability to deploy countermeasures in a VR reality. Where the vulnerabilities of your infrastructure are mapped out before you, and you can see what could stop the attacker. The best security isn’t making the right move every time. The best security is when you make the attacker guess correctly 7, 8 or 9 times. With a VR security view, you can change the next question on the fly so that the attacker in the end now has to guess correctly questions they had already answered that now have a new answer.
Within the interconnections is where the reality of innovation lives. One of the points of the articles is the connection today between non-medical programmers and the medical profession. Devices brought to the market that is written by people that don’t practice medicine but instead are IT, professionals. That interconnection today has changed the medical profession but pushing that data further out, into the Internet of things creates an even greater connection.
The trend is unification towards connection. The value in the future of IT is the connection of the information, people and ultimately the business processes in a way that will drive value for the users. A unified collection of virtual assets designed to improve the way people do and can interact with the computing world around them. It is the second tenant of the book “The Syncverse.” Sharing information in an effective and managed form that is easily consumed.
Connecting trends creates a very interesting reality. Unification is a game that often goes unrewarded. Einstein chased the unifying string theory for the last 40 years of his life. In the end, he was unsuccessful in bringing all things physics together. The same is true for the Andreessen Horowitz list. They have 16 trends that are highly interconnected but are not linked today. Some of the interconnections don’t have stable realities yet. None are beyond the capabilities we have today simply beyond the vision that has been laid out.

I like this statement, “Connecting trends creates a very interesting reality.” That is true. Information sharing is a good to make others aware of what is going on around.
It does, sad when people hoard information and don’t share.
That is right. But others not only keep the valued info, they even share it by a fee.
The technology is very important to the IOT. And it is the new type of technology to access the device and it is good for us. In this post, you also provide good information about the technology. And it is really helpful to me because we used the best system. if I have an issue with Windows then go to the website https://babasupport.org/windows/error-code-0x80071a90-windows-10/ which provide good information. I really like your post.
Iot really isn’t new, but thanks for the comment. IoT devices have been around for more thhan 30 years. We just stuck a new name on them!
There are already legal precedents that you have no expectation of privacy in public, so the amount of cameras and scanners in public places are only going to increase…
That is a sad statement, correct but sad. In part, in the modern world that has to happen to provide security, But it is sad.
I strongly feel that security is just the excuse used to justify the level of surveillance they’ve always wanted…
To a degree, I suspect that is true. I do know there is, however, a large group of government professionals who truly do want to protect people.
If you really want to protect the populace, start with protecting their rights…
That I cannot agree with. The problem with security, in particular, physical security, is the reality of those who are trying to take that from you. It is really important that overall each of us feels safe. The balancing act for that is really hard to do. The rights of one person, 20 people and so on, sometimes may interfere with the application of security overall for 10000000 people.
Trusting big brother for security is trading one type of danger for another, remember what Franklin said about liberty vs security
