The app store model revolutionized the marketplace idea, making it easy for both software vendors and consumers to publish and install software without the hassles of software building, distribution and deployment.

Do we know the enterprise IT challenges...???

Last night during the dinner chat with one of my old school pal, we stumbled on the topic of current issues that enterprises are stuck with. It went on almost for 30 mins. But what made it less interesting to me is that whole discussion was around cost cutting, our sourcing, rationalization etc., It is really boring, we are still taking about the tip of iceberg. But the question is due we really know what the real challenges are. I am not talking about a laundry list with 30/40/50 items. I am looking why we really have those items? (whatever the count is).

Sony has created a new version of the Aibo robot dog, which this time promises more artificial intelligence. Travelmate’s robot suitcase will use AI to drive around and follow its owner wherever they go.  Kohler has invented Numi, a toilet that has Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant built in etc., But despite all this, it does leave me wondering: is artificial intelligence really what we should be calling this revolution?
