The examples may not seem that relevant when thinking about technology and how it functions for an organization. But they do show how technology often intersects with the world for some amazing results.
In many ways, the discovery of that intersection can be transforming for an organization. It adds importance to the enterprise. With this thematic framework, emphasis can be put on developing an enterprise that adapts quickly to market conditions and fits with the organization's overall goals.
For example, 3D printing is first on the JWT list. Mack says 3D printers will come into mainstream use, allowing people to create everything from jewelry to lamps to homes.
In a blog post, Union Square Venture's Fred Wilson writes that the best success comes when you see the intersection with technology, the Internet, money, politics and other aspects of life. It's not purely about one thing.
3D printing is representative of services that use technology to change the means of production without the need to invest in expensive manufacturing equipment. The organizations banking on the advent of 3D printers include Shapeways, Hewlett-Packard and Google. All these companies made strategic decisions about how they structured its enterprise environments to provide 3D printing capabilities.
Google may be the best example of all. Its enterprise is designed to provide this type of innovation. Hewlett-Packard has leveraged its printing and networking strengths. And Shapeways, which has a Union Square investment, is a startup that is using the cloud to provide its 3D printing services.
The challenge for the enterprise is how it becomes a catalyst to act on opportunities before they becomes big trends. That may mean faster adoption of mobile technologies for its own workforce or shifting the way it thinks about developing products.
Mobile as the Everything Hub
Mack says mobile is the everything hub. Mobile is critical in our lives. The list is full of examples that demonstrate how organizations will be affected by this mega trend. For example, tap-to-pay is number 88 on the list.
Making the six spot on the list is Geoloqi, a startup based here in Portland, OR. The company is a study in how mobile technologies are changing how we view a world that is becoming more fluid than hard-wired. Geoloqi allows people to use their smart phones to do automatic check-ins. It allows people to set set automatic reminders and notifications--sent to themselves or friends-- for specific locations. People can leave "geonotes," at specific locations that someone in the future may view. It allows you to automatically notify people of your proximity.
Geoloqi demonstrates how smartphones help people adjust to a world where geospatial environments have any number of data layers. You can access these data layers with services that require nothing but the ability to send or receive a notification. You don't need to push a button to let someone know you'll be at a location soon. A service like Geoloqi will notify your colleague automatically. This is not being lost on the enterprise. There are a number of companies now offering geolocation services for enterprise environments.
Amber Case and Aaron Parecki are the company founders. Case is also an anthropoligist. In an interview with us, she touched on the dynamics that are in play now with the advent of touch technologies and how transforming it will be for the way we work and live:
In the past, an interface was an interface in the same way that a book is a book - it doesn't change - the words don't change. A computer had hardware buttons. If you wanted to change the buttons, you'd have to rewire the machine. Then interfaces became liquid. And if you wanted buttons to appear and go away, or to have different functions you'd just change the code. With touch screen phones, we're dealing with liquid interfaces. They absorb the functionality of the world around them. So most things that existed in real life - most functions - can now be done on a phone.
The examples Mack gives reflect on the way organizations are adapting to shifts in the way we live and work.
How we adapt is the big question. It's not just the cloud or virtualization. It's more rooted in how these kinds of technologies intersect with any number of different aspects in the market and society.
In embodying the actual meaning of "charity", nothing beats the Heifer Project.
Heifer International is in the business of ending world hunger. And it's actually working; today millions of people were fed thanks to 65 years of Heifer projects. And those people are standing on their own feet, and helping others to stand up. They aren't second-class clients of wealthy people suffering from liberal guilt, living on scraps; they are as good as anyone else in the world and they know it.
Heifer doesn't give sandwiches to people living unsustainable lifestyles in a unproductive wasteland. Those people will starve the minute you stop sending sandwiches, and in the meantime you've reduced them to beggary, and that's going to wreck their indigenous culture (if they have any left) and diminish them as individuals. Giving people food doesn't work as a long term solution, it's only worth doing in short term recovery situations as a part of a broader strategy.
Heifer provides people in war-torn and disaster-wrecked communities with the tools to build a sustainable future based on livestock and agriculture carefully chosen to suit the needs, abilities, and history of the inhabitants of those communities.
Please read about Heifer on their website at www.heifer.org - I'm not an employee or in any other way associated with heifer, although over the years I have helped buy an elephant, dozens of heifers, and many chickens, bees, and ducks.
Heifer is different. It's better. Recipients of Heifer assistance aren't asked to "pay it back" - they are required to "pay it forward" by helping somebody else get back on their feet. This means a homeless single mother doesn't have to sacrifice her pride in order to feed her children, in fact she will get to involve the children in an worthwhile global enterprise. Once she's paid forward, she can continue to be involved with charity work or not, as she pleases.
Since this is the Boing, I feel that I should point out that while Heifer was started by a Christian in accordance with his beliefs, it is not evangelical and does not discriminate based on faith or lack thereof. You are welcome to believe what you like as long as you want to help world hunger.

This is the 4th installment in my series of articles on how to make money in Runescape for both Free players and Members. You can find the original here, and the rest of the articles can be found somewhere on this page. This article focuses mainly on money-making methods for Free players, but some of my other articles are directed towards members. Let's get started!
Method 1: Killing Hill Giants. Bones are a valuable training commodity throughout runescape, mostly because they're the main way to train the Prayer skill. Big bones and dragon bones are often in high demand, and luckily hill giants are an easy-to-kill supplier of big bones. To start, you'll need armor, a weapon, a brass key (which you can buy), and a decent combat level. Head west out of Varrock until you reach a river. Don't cross the river, but head north until you find a little shack. Use the brass key on the shack, then head down the ladder. Start killing hill giants. Don't bury the big bones, but hold onto them. Also, if you get a limpwurt root as a drop hold onto it. Once your inventory is full, head to the Grand Exchange and sell everything. Rinse and repeat.
Method 2: Fist of Guthix. This isn't the best method for making money, but if you really love playing Fist of Guthix or don't have much to do it can be entertaining. Head to Fist of Guthix, switch to a themeworld, grab your gear and play. Every time you play a game you'll receive some tokens as a reward. Keep playing until you have enough tokens to buy one of the more expensive or useful items, like rune gauntlets, a rune berserker shield or combat robes. After you buy them, either use up all of their charges or ask the shop owner to uncharge them. You can then go to the Grand Exchange and sell them for a decent amount of money. I would really only recommend this to people with a lot of time on their hands or who really enjoy the game. For a full guide for Fist of Guthix, read this page.
Method 3: Mining coal. This isn't the best or the funnest method, but it does get the job done. You'll need 50 mining, but a higher mining level will get you more cash faster. This method simply involves mining coal, banking it, and repeating until you want to sell it. I recommend doing this in the Falador mine, and if you have a high enough level the mining guild is perfect for this. This is a fairly popular method because there is always someone buying coal for some reason or other, so you're guaranteed to always have customers on the Grand Exchange.
I wish you good luck on your quest to get money, and enjoy whatever stuff you buy with it. Have fun! Also, please check out my other articles.
