More Spending on Digital Transformations
I think that it is a trend that is here to stay with digital technology and we use digital things such as digital cameras, camcorders etc. The digital world will give you up to daate clear information on certain things so they will be more expensive if you want to keep up with advanced technology. So if tou spend money on the right things knowing you will get something positive and great for the outcome will be all worth it.

Re: More Spending on Digital Transformations
@clrmoney I would say the way digital technology in our life already we are living in the future now - digital age... but yes you are right we need to spend money wisely on technology - not on hype about :)

Maybe not despite, maybe because
Seems to me that given the difficulties EU countries face with the digital transformation, due to heavily regulated environments that can make it difficult to updgrade and update, a corporate culture that overvalues stability, a behind-Asia and behind-North-America tech community, structures that make it easy to resist change, and an embedded lobby of IT professionals who like things the old way, thankyouverymuch ....
Pushing into big digitalizaton projects might be a way to try to break up the rigidity and hide-boundness. It's a chance to replace obsolete and inferior tech that is often protected by an entrenched lobby, and maybe along the way take down the entrenched lobby too. I'm thinking that they may shed a few public tears for how "disruptive" all this will be, but they're probably very happy to have the disruptions they're getting.

Re: Maybe not despite, maybe because
As you note the challenges, the broader challenge continues to be the advent of AI--something I have underscored--and that danger seems to not be the focus:
In a recent interview with WIRED, famous theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking again warned about the dangers of super-intelligent AI. Hawking believes that an AI that could self-replicate might be the end of humanity's time on Earth. But is it? READ MORE

As I have been "sounding the alarm", there is also this bit of an "optmistic" note which I hope the community enjoys--we have to remain hopeful no matter what!!

Re: Maybe not despite, maybe because
..the key is to make sure that Technology is one's friend and partner--not the other way around--which is underscored by the rise of AI--although Kurzweil gives us a more optimstic view as underscored by this I picked up and released to my own personal blog not so long ago:

@mpouraryan I could not agree more, you are soo right in your point of view... as technology changes we must embrace it and change with it...

Re: Maybe not despite, maybe because
....the challenge is, as I have underscored repeatedly throughout my discourse, is to have a sense of humanity--although Kurzweill puts a good positive spin, the idea of humans being equal to machines is challenging--and that's putting it mildly....

Re: Maybe not despite, maybe because
Yes, Change is the only constant and we have to embrace it no doubt--but we cannot be subservient to Machines--I trust that all the leading lights of Tech will embrace it and never forget it.

@mpourarayan I don't think we will ever become subservient to machines, though a lot of people see that outcome with AI. I think we will become too complacent with them. With subservience, a total tech blackout would mean the humans win, with complacency a total technology blackout would probably lead to the end of the human race.

Re: Maybe not despite, maybe because
There lies the challenge--and we have to maintain our vigilance and sense of purpose--otherwise I will remind all of the "Battlestar Gallatica" scenario I have noted in my comments during our on-going discourse. This is something, for the record, Elon Musk has underscored--I am glad to see I'm not the only one!!
