"The Internet will continue to evolve rapidly !!!" – Intel
Intel CEO Paul Otellini described today how the Internet will continue evolving, making businesses more collaborative and competitive globally. He also highlighted how the shift to mobile Internet technology will also change the way people around the world will learn, work, live and play.
Otellini demonstrated how large and small businesses could extend the use of existing technology tools and the Internet to solve complex business problems and to train and manage information overload for employees.
He explained how a company could create integrated Web platforms to increase collaboration and have proactive search capabilities.
He showed a visionary system that could use some basic information about a new company employee -- such as job description, education background and professional affiliations -- that could proactively add relevant content to help the employee be more effective on the job.
Otellini also demonstrated how the new system could help an employee manage cross-team projects, co-worker networks and professional development.
He noted that the types of solutions large enterprises need are not readily available. He also challenged the industry to focus more attention on developing these solutions.
He added "generational shifts are changing how technology is used as a learning and collaboration tool. Advances in device and Internet technologies open up new possibilities for how people interact.
What people want today is to be 'always connected' and receive the information they want, no matter what they're doing, where they're located, or which device they're using."
Otellini also demonstrated a futuristic scenario where a shopper could take a toy off a store's shelf and use a camera on a mobile device to "recognize" the package and proactively search for information to help the shopper decide whether to purchase the toy.
For example, a shopper could use the MID to create a 3-D model of what is inside the package, research product reviews, or download and play a marketing video about the toy.
Otellini highlighted a future where an American visiting China could use a pocket-sized MID (mobile Internet device) to audibly and visually translate building signs, restaurant menus and conversations in real-time.
He also demonstrated how a traveler could use social networking applications to get instant recommendations on a particular restaurant.
Otellini said that it would be three to five years until doing things such as language translation and making real-time use of huge visual databases would be possible on mobile devices.
It will require exponentially more powerful CPUs that also utilize exponentially less power so that they can be put into smaller mobile devices.
