Eventually, we shifted from transportation as an individual choice to transportation as a shared flow, where your individual car is part of a larger system, composed by the infrastructure that you use with your car, all the other transportation means, and, of course, all the accessory services.]]> http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/09/21/change2010_04-transportation-information-flow/feed/ 0 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/09/07/change2010_01-from-paper-to-the-cloud-and-beyond/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/09/07/change2010_01-from-paper-to-the-cloud-and-beyond/#comments Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:05:43 +0000 GettingAroundTheWorld.Net http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/?p=1414 Defining information technology today In the second article in the series, I will discuss change in the field that touches the life of everyone of us: Information technology (computer and Internet- but also other active and passive telecommunication media). When I say "everybody" I am not forgetting the Low Income Countries (LICs), or the non- connected (over 30% in the EU): in one way or another, e.g. also via radio or TV, everybody is touched by information technology. And, since over the last 20 years gradually each information channel migrated to the digital platform, it is quite easy to see how, eventually, it will be the form and shape at the receiving end (TV, radio, text messages, voice, etc) that will be seen as differentiating the different channels. The evolution on the transmission of information has been also mirrored by a parallel evolution in its storage: where you information resides started being irrelevant.]]> http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/09/07/change2010_01-from-paper-to-the-cloud-and-beyond/feed/ 0 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/01/02/biometrics-and-you/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/01/02/biometrics-and-you/#comments Sat, 02 Jan 2010 07:52:11 +0000 roberto.lofaro http://localhost/wordpresssites/blog/?p=1123 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/01/02/biometrics-and-you/feed/ 0 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/25/public-procurement-2-0/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/25/public-procurement-2-0/#comments Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:00:03 +0000 roberto.lofaro http://localhost/wordpresssites/blog/?p=1104 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/25/public-procurement-2-0/feed/ 0 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/13/the-future-of-it-0404-itinerary/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/13/the-future-of-it-0404-itinerary/#comments Fri, 13 Nov 2009 07:00:01 +0000 AGB http://localhost/wordpresssites/blog/?p=1072 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/13/the-future-of-it-0404-itinerary/feed/ 0 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/11/the-future-of-it-0304-starting/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/11/the-future-of-it-0304-starting/#comments Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:00:33 +0000 AGB http://localhost/wordpresssites/blog/?p=1069 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/11/the-future-of-it-0304-starting/feed/ 0 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/09/the-future-of-it-0204-destination/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/09/the-future-of-it-0204-destination/#comments Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:00:24 +0000 AGB http://localhost/wordpresssites/blog/?p=1066 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/09/the-future-of-it-0204-destination/feed/ 0 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/05/the-future-of-it-0104-introduction/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/05/the-future-of-it-0104-introduction/#comments Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:33:54 +0000 AGB http://localhost/wordpresssites/blog/?p=1056 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/05/the-future-of-it-0104-introduction/feed/ 0 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/10/22/agb2009-the-future-of-it/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/10/22/agb2009-the-future-of-it/#comments Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:00:28 +0000 roberto.lofaro http://localhost/wordpresssites/blog/?p=1017 the presentation) AGB2009: THE FUTURE OF IT

BACKGROUND

It has been a long time since IBM supposedly said that few computers would be enough to forever satisfy all the computing needs of humanity. Do not worry: this is not a technical article.

ABSTRACT

My suggestion? Well, I still hold an Italian passport. Therefore, I suggested an idea inspired by another industry: segmenting the market by building standardized elements, and then offering different levels of "tailoring", but with an option to then re-insert, after sometime, the custom-designed services into the basic portfolio. But, in my view, the issue is becoming even more nuanced. And more complex. And still actual.]]> http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/10/22/agb2009-the-future-of-it/feed/ 0 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/07/06/a-virtual-news-agency/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/07/06/a-virtual-news-agency/#comments Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:00:29 +0000 GettingAroundTheWorld.Net http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/07/06/a-virtual-news-agency/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/07/06/a-virtual-news-agency/feed/ 0
