I'd slightly disagree with this - the real benefits from cloud are in the things you don't need to do. If you're just using the cloud as a normal datacentre (but in another location) you're not going to have a good time.

EG using a managed Database as opposed to rolling your own saves on patching, management etc...

You should check out Nano - it’s one of the few cryptocurrency systems that works for this.

Instant payment, scales well, doesn’t use a standard block system (uses a block lattice instead), doesn’t rely on mining so is extremely green.

Love it. Every time I step on I can almost feel the history of the place.

If you’re in London I’d thoroughly recommend a drink in the Jamaica Wine House - it’s a pub in the square mile that used to be a coffee house from 1652. It’s an amazing place to see - you can really feel the age and history of the place. https://londonspubswherehistoryreallyhappened.wordpress.com/...

However the execution will be tricky. So far electric bike hire doesn’t appear to have succeeded that well in London (Hackney at least).

Very much hoping this works better!

Any chance on expanding on what the critical blocking tech is?

Great feedback - appreciate it.

I think the constant job changing is going to be really interesting one - because 1) it's already happening 2) it makes the tasks more ideally suited for eventual replacement by machines. There's a lot of people out there in regular white-collar jobs who don't want to change - it will take a lot of work to make them change their mind on that (and some simply won't).

Unless we start to manage some of these future risks I think we're going to see a number of problems. Interestingly I think the easy answer (and the one we're already seeing) will be to blame the traditional ones (immigration, other people not like us). We're already starting to see this in multiple geographies.

At a high level they are: 1) The nature and shape of work will change dramatically 2) AI will start to make a real impact to the world in both positive and negative ways 3) Algorithmic choice will become an important thing 4) Traditional large organisations will die and the rise of the “Portfolio” company 5) Personalised health 6) 5G, LEO Satellites and the changing location of computing 7) Climate Change and why paper straws don’t matter 8) Governments, Globalisation, Nationalism, the shrinking middle, basic income and the rise of disruption

I'm a Managing Director in Accenture - currently running DevOps for UK & Ireland. I get a pretty unique view of projects/plans from people/companies.

I've documented roughly where I see things going over the next 5-10 years based on a number of things I'm seeing at the moment. Feel free to ask questions
