Abstract:
Amorphous and near-fictional aggregation of relational applications with social media, networking and ebusiness services. Hypothetical seamless lifestyle scenarios highlight convergence of applications inevitable in the evolution of systems interoperability anchored by global conglomerates which may have the power to build open platforms and host the ecosystem of systems and cloud computing based analytics in order to serve emerging lifestyle attributes where relationship and real-time connections are key demands from customers who are global digital citizens.
Description:
Nostradamus for the Soul is about BEING DIGITAL. The story consists of multiple converging layers which include daily activities, for example retail, utilities, banking, mobile marketing, health, energy and household paraphernalia. The sum of all or part may represent consumer lifestyle systems in industrialized nations. It is not a mattter of if but when these systems become commonplace and integrated in the fabric of our daily lives. These are, therefore, predictions in the same spirit that Nostradamus predicted the President Barack Obama's Town Hall Meeeting in the offices of Facebook on 20 April 2011. Lifestyle systems includes events today, which will be viewed as a turning point in world history in a manner similar to the first live national television broadcast in the US on September 4, 1951 when President Harry Truman's speech at the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco, California was transmitted. Today we open a new window on Being Digital - fait accompli?
