Technological Nomad

Technological nomads, Technological Bedouins, or New Bedouins are all phrases for the same thing: Those who, thanks to the development of the sensor web, and VR systems such as both are, are able to run businesses, and sustained income, entirely from mobile locations. Cyber cafes, Internet enabled cars, park benches, shops and pubs. No offices, no difference in productivity being ?at home? or on the move. Truly a technological nomad.

Are developers just thick, or something?
An interesting spin of an article, this starts out looking at virtual worlds from the average participant?s perspective, pointing out all the desires and frustrations of the userbase with the speed of apparent technological development of the multiverse. Then spins that on its head and neatly answers those questions with the hard truths those of us who work with them are well aware of.



Ray Kurzweil is a formidable force in VR and AI. Hell, he is a formidable force anywhere he has turned his attention. He has a knack for predicting the future, and so far so far not a single one of his predictions has ever been wrong. This book is his theory on Accelerating Intelligence made flesh and a warning for the monumental acceleration of technological change in the years to come.
