TeleMedia Futures: the next 5 years in Media, Content and Telecom

Futurist Gerd Leonhard talks about the future of broadcasting and media. More on my blog http://tinyurl.com/o8fedz

My presentation at eComm Amsterdam in November 2009, see more details here: http://www.mediafuturist.com/2009/10/pre-ecomm-conference-interview-telemedia-futures.html Basically, the content industry starting with music is rightfully worried about distribution becoming free. This is a global phenomenon. The more broadband we have the better devices, the more the push towards sharing and trading stuff without payment is clearly there. On the other hand, the content industry has, to a very large degree, refused to license the content in so many new ways that are being asked for, starting with imeem and YouTube, and MySpace originally. The refusal to license has essentially created a vacuum to where everyone rightly then also says if we can't actually do it legally, we have two choices which is to quit or to do it without permission. Then you have companies like imeem and MySpace and YouTube initially doing it without permission. ...

This document discusses the transformation of technologies and the creation of new demand for information and communication technology (ICT) services. Some of the key points discussed include: - Social networks are becoming the new cable TV without the cable infrastructure. - The future of digital technologies is already here in the form of "digital natives" and the growing "networked society". - Content will continue to be a key driver but it will need to be accessible over different networks and devices. - New business models will be needed to address issues like piracy and the need for affordable, legal access to content across different platforms and locations. - The ecosystem of telecommunications, media, advertising and other industries will

Sharing Economy or Collaborative Consumption: the definition, background, issues, impact and future.

- Individuals' behaviors and media consumption habits will drive broadband adoption more than technology itself. Online media spending is growing faster than traditional media as people spend more time online. - Technology enables and accelerates existing human behaviors. The "long tail" of niche content is increasingly driving media innovation as people consume media anywhere and anytime across multiple devices. - Net neutrality is essential for continued internet growth. It allows all content providers equal access and returns the internet to being an open platform for innovation. Discriminating between different types of internet traffic could hamper competition and growth.

The PDF from my presentation at Internet Hungary 2009 in Tihany see http://bit.ly/dAnvc. Topics: defining 'broadband culture', why and how attention is the new currency, content 2.0 and the new pricing logic, the shift from mass media to niche media, why conversation beats monolog and why social media is CRM, the shift from push to pull, 'free gets you to the place where you can ask to get paid', how sharing generates income, the future of content, education trends, the end of control,

The document discusses the rise of online video and social media. It notes that online video viewing has increased dramatically, with over 800 billion views delivered by one video distribution network. It also discusses how social media has changed content discovery and distribution, with content now spreading virally from one-to-many across social networks rather than through traditional one-to-one or one-to-many broadcast models. The document suggests that these trends are transforming businesses and industries as companies look to own their media distribution and tell stories through digital content and social engagement.

Every 150 days space150 reinvents itself. As a part of that exercise we look at what's trending in the last 150 days, so that we can more clearly see what's coming in the future. We are seeing technology permeate our lives in ways it never had before, and are taking a deeper look at 3 trends: Connected TV, Economies of Sharing, and the digital catalysts that are the newest generation.

This document discusses how communications and commerce are undergoing unprecedented change driven by new technologies and shifting behaviors. Key points discussed include how the "other 3 billion" people gaining internet access will change telecommunications infrastructure, how most activities are shifting to mobile devices, and how open networks and data are fueling this transformation. Fragmentation of commerce models and extreme changes in consumer behaviors are expected. The future is described as "Communication 2.0" driven by principles of openness, mobility, interactivity and real-time engagement. Trust and involvement are posited to become more important than control and consumption in this new environment.

A presentation on how mobile and social media trends impact business, in general, and the corporate travel industry, in particular. The social media and mobile Internet explosion is resulting in unprecedented changes in communications and commerce. The need to reduce CONTROL to get more SHARE is evident... but how can this be done within large organizations? How can social media add value, and what are the risks?

The document discusses how technology will transform universities by 2020. It outlines several major shifts including (1) changing information ecosystems for networked learners due to ubiquitous connectivity and social media, (2) new literacies becoming required to navigate these environments, and (3) big data and the "internet of things" leading to an "exaflood" of information. It suggests universities will need to adapt to students being more self-directed learners who capture diverse inputs and rely on feedback from their networks.

The document discusses several concepts related to Web 2.0 including its definition as a more interactive internet driven by user participation. It also mentions key trends like user-generated content, social networking, tagging, wikis, and harnessing collective intelligence. Several quotes are provided about the importance of creativity and human input in problem solving.

The document provides an overview of a presentation on thriving in turbulence given by Rohit Talwar, CEO of Fast Future. It discusses 10 key patterns of change shaping the next decade including economic turbulence, a shift in wealth from west to east, and political uncertainty. It also covers topics like demographics, technology, new business models, and how leaders can respond through embracing networks, incubating new models, and seeking breakthrough innovations to craft effective strategies.

This document outlines an upcoming roadshow in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore in July 2008 focused on telecommunications ecosystems. It will provide a look into the future of technology, markets, and business in telecommunications. The roadshow will explore how ecosystems have evolved from value chains with internal innovation and control to more open models of concurrent innovation and shared control. It will also discuss opportunities to work at the Future Centre researching ecosystem modeling, emerging technologies, and new business models.

More at www.techvshuman.com -- which side you on? Do we need an EPA for humanity ? Technology vs. Humanity is a last-minute wake up call to take part in the most important conversation humanity may ever have. Will we blindly outsource and abdicate big chunks of our lives to the global technology companies – or will we take back our autonomy and demand a sustainable balance between technology and humanity? By supplying a Socratic and humanistic critique of the Megashifts currently recasting our world, Gerd Leonhard provides the prologue for this great debate.
 Now is the time to join the dots between big data and digital ethics, to start discussing the moral framework required to steer the evolution of digital life – and to finally articulate the difference between our unique humanity and the rapidly evolving robotic versions. In 1949 George Orwell released Nineteen Eighty-Four – offering us a stark warning of a world dominated by technology and those who own and control it. Nearly seventy years after its publication, Gerd Leonhard investigates how we preserve our humanity in a world that is rapidly beginning to resemble that science fiction.

This document discusses global digital transformation over the next 5 years. Key points include: - Exponential increases in connectivity, data, intelligence, and the convergence of man and machine through intelligent digital assistants. - Technology is developing exponentially while humans remain linear, raising questions around who will control and regulate emerging technologies. - As everything becomes connected, security, standards, ethics and rules will be crucial to address issues like addiction, privacy and the control of emerging technologies. - Embracing technology while maintaining human values and purpose will be important for responsible transformation.
