Читать книгу The Innovation Ultimatum - Steve Brown - Страница 16

The six technologies that are the focus of this book aren't all brand new. The term “artificial intelligence” was coined in the 1950s, the ideas behind the Internet of Things have been around since the last century, and Blockchains were first created more than a decade ago. For various reasons, each is only just coming to maturity. It is the creative combination of these technologies that will lead to breakthrough innovation. For example, IoT sensors are made exponentially more powerful with AI. Next-generation, massively scalable distributed ledger technology will combine with ubiquitous low-earth-orbit satellite networks to transform logistics and the supply chain.

As innovators seek to reimagine how they create value, serve customers, and operate their businesses, new technologies act like new colors in their creative palette. The most impressive innovations will be painted using a creative combination of many colors. Uber was created at the intersection of apps, GPS sensors, cloud services, and the gig economy.
