Newport County is getting left behind while other communities receive fiber broadband. Consider unforeseen purposes, such as during the early days of electrification and the Internet. Folks didn't think they would have much use for either initially. A high tech economy has minimal ecological impact and facilitates location agnostic real-time collaboration while allowing for living in a desirable area.
“Most technologies get deployed for a single purpose, and people tend to fight against expanding from there,” says Chahil. “When it happens, new worlds suddenly open up.” -WIRED
There has been a "sea change" in content delivery from traditional subscription (cable and/or satellite television). Per a Nielsen Report, "the average U.S. consumer spends approximately three hours and 48 minutes a day on digital media, with 62% of that usage occurring via smartphone apps and web use."
The 21st century home and workspace requires robust upload capability across multiple devices to support the following capabilities:
Stadia (Google), xCloud (Microsoft), Orion (Bethesda).
"TikTok boasts 26.5 million users in the U.S., 60 percent of whom are aged 16 to 24 – a large and very impressionable user base that spends an average of 52 minutes per day on the app, per Mediakix".
Virtual replication of a live production system (spacecraft, etc.) for A/B testing, modeling, and troubleshooting.
The first big technology platform was the web, which digitized information, subjecting knowledge to the power of algorithms; it came to be dominated by Google. The second great platform was social media, running primarily on mobile phones. It digitized people and subjected human behavior and relationships to the power of algorithms, and it is ruled by Facebook and WeChat. We are now at the dawn of the third platform, which will digitize the rest of the world. On this platform, all things and places will be machine-readable, subject to the power of algorithms. Whoever dominates this grand third platform will become among the wealthiest and most powerful people and companies in history, just as those who now dominate the first two platforms have. Also, like its predecessors, this new platform will unleash the prosperity of thousands more companies in its ecosystem, and a million new ideas—and problems—that weren’t possible before machines could read the world. -WIRED |
