Text to neighbor:

Hi, Fred, this is Richard, next door. I’ve have a confession to make. I’ve been riddled with guilt for a few months and have been trying to get up the courage to tell you face-to-face. At least I’m telling you in this text and I can’t live with myself a minute longer without you knowing about this. The truth is that when you’re not around I’ve been sharing your wife, day and night. In fact, probably much more than you. I haven’t been getting it at home recently and I know that that’s no excuse. The temptation was just too great. I can’t live with the guilt and hope you’ll accept my sincere apology and forgive me. Please suggest a fee for usage and I’ll pay you. Regards, Richard


Neighbor’s response:

Fred, feeling so angered and betrayed, grabbed his gun and shot Richard, killing him. He went back home and poured himself a stiff drink and sat down on the sofa. Fred then looked at his phone and discovered a second text message from Richard.

Second text message:

Hi, Fred. Richard here again. Sorry about the typo on my last text. I expect you figured it out and noticed that the damned Auto-Correct had changed “wi-fi” to “wife.” Technology, huh? It’ll be the death of us all. Regards, Rich

The previous posts on business trends have gathered a little more interest, so in doing more research I found the following treasure trove on tech trends at Deloitte University Press. Deloitte's articles through and complete with graphs to supplement the projections.  The growth forecasts coincide with other news on technology predictions and when you read over the article you'll see how well laid out this presentation is.  My hat is off to Deloitte, Bill Briggs, Mariahna Moore and the cast of thousands that compiled this report.

The base concept is Globalization and thinking in terms of a global resources, supply chain management and emerging markets that are evolving with the technology.  Right now we are at a tipping point with the growth of Asian and India's markets set to explode.  Delivering services to these economies and the challenges that will ensue, can't even fathom the numbers the rewards will bring into the fold.  We are just beyond the base of the curve where it's slope is about to go vertical.  Artificial intelligence, robotics, wearables, battery tech, culture and class separation.  This is by far the best report for all entrepreneurs to read or make a study of.  A great series from Deloitte.
