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.
Yahoo’s ship is sinking. To keep it afloat, they’re tossing all the dead weight — and there’s a lot — of their unprofitable websites. We even got early word of which sites and services would be dropped when a leaked image gave us insider information, directly from a presentation for Yahoo employees. However, while Yahoo feels the pain of loss as these long-time projects are abandoned, start-ups have new cause to celebrate.
As reported by Mashable, this centers around one key site seeing its final sunset: Delicious. Delicious, one of Yahoo’s more popular yet least profitable sites, is certainly not in line with the company’s overall scheme. Their plan, they stated, was a sale. But considering how easy social bookmarking sites are to replicate, and Delicious’s proven track record of making no money, that seems unlikely. Further, insiders working on the Delicious project have told us that selling the site would be made even more complex thanks to the deep integration of proprietary, Yahoo-specific technologies.
Whether they wind up selling or bailing, Delicious users caught wind of the news, and their immediate response was to abandon ship as well. These users exported their social bookmarking data, and went in droves to competing start-ups like YourVersion, Histori.us, Pinboard.in, and Springpad, all of which saw spikes in traffic after the leaked announcement of Delicious’s upcoming fate. These aren’t small figures, either. According to Jeff Janer, the CEO of Springpad, there have been “more than two million bookmarks migrated from Delicious” in the two weeks after the information leak. The winner, however, may be Pinboard.in. According to the Alexa traffic statistics, Pinboard.in saw a full 720% traffic increase in the final two weeks of December.
While the need to abandon this property may be tragic for Yahoo, competitors stand to gain immensely by acting as the fail safe for the flagging, former search engine champion.

Hello, and welcome to my guide to making money on the Grand Exchange, I am going to tell you about the three main methods on merchanting, one which is sure to work, but may take a little time, and another which can make you millions fast, but involves a high level of risk. So, without further ado. . .
Method 1
The first method involves very little risk at all, but it may take a while to start making big profits, however, it is good for those who wish to build their profits without having to do much work. First, head to the Runescape Grand Exchange site ( http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/frontpage.ws ) and go to the '100 Most Traded Items' list, this will ensure you will find an item with quite a high desirability, therefore meaning you get a quicker sale. Click on an item, we'll go with fire runes, seeing as it's top on the list.
As you can see, the line on the chart is perfectly straight, this is exactly what we're looking for, and since this item is so high on the most traded list, it is perfect for us. However, it's low price doesn't leave us with much space to make a profit. This item is great for beginners wanting to build their money, but eventually you'll want to move onto something with a bigger profit, so we will continue.
As we go back to the Most Traded Item's list, just search around until you find a good item, for instance, I have found coal here, the line on the chart is pretty straight, so the price isn't very likely to suddenly drop or go higher, and there is quite a good profit margin, so we'll go with coal.
Head over to the Grand Exchange, north of Varrock west bank and buy some coal, you'll want to buy it for lower than the market price in order to make a decent profit, however, the lower the price, the longer it'll take for you to buy the item, so you have to find the balance.
Once you bought as much coal (or whatever item you are buying) as you want, it's time to sell. As a general rule, I sell for the market price, as it takes too long if I sell any higher than that, but do experiment around with this and find whats right for you.
You should always test any item you plan to use this method one, by buying just a small amount and then seeing how long it takes to sell, this will help you avoid major money loss.
That's basically it for method 1, you can use this method for a long time and it will still be profitable, experiment with different items, as some will be alot better than others.
Method 2
This method involves quite alot of risk and you will also need quite a bit of money to make good profits. It is also helpful to be able to predict the market. This method is about buying items when the price drops, and selling the item when the price goes up. For instance, the price of Santa Hats usually goes up around Christmas, so if a player bought a Santa a couple of months before, for a lower price, they could make quite a large profit, as shown on the picture below, if a player bought a Santa on the 7th July, then sold it on the 23rd, they could make around 3M profit. However, if they waited longer, they could make even more.
(Sorry but I couldn't get the picture to upload, so here's a link to it, sorry - http://tinyurl.com/Santa-Hat-Chart )
When the price starts of an item starts to go down, you should start thinking about selling your item, before the price plummets. The trick of this method is to always keep an eye on the graphs, or you could easily lose millions.
This method is quite high risk, but the payoffs are brilliant.
Method 3
Another way of making money from the Grand Exchange is by buying raw materials and then selling the finished item. This is takes quite a while but is good as it gives both quite a good profit and good experience in whatever skill you are training.
For instance, I could buy coal for 192gp each and iron for 98gp each. Now, to make a steel bar it takes two coal and one iron, so this is 482gp per steel bar. I can sell these steel bars for 643gp each, so that is a 161gp profit per bar. If I made 1000 steel bars, I would make 161k and earn 17.5k experience in smithing.
I hope that my guide has helped you make money on the Exchange, but you must remember to experiment with different items in order to find the right things for you, some items take longer to sell, but make a bigger profit, others are quick to sell, but don't yield much of a profit.
Any questions, PM me ingame, my RuneScape name is 'Deadbird33.'
Good luck.
