Social Computing at IBM
Chris Luongo of IBM, along with his collaborative partner Jane Harris, have created a new YouTube video that helps to explain what ‘a smarter planet’ means to them. It is presented in an elegant and thoughtful manner, and breaks from all of the social media content my team has been producing on the subject to-date. I highly endorse this video and suggest you give it a look. And, thank-you Chris and Jane, for delivering such a great video.
Pop by the smarter planet blog for the latest in our series. This week, IT Infrastructure, or, making smarter systems smarter.
It’s an exciting time to be a part of the IBM Corporation. Our new corporate strategy has been unveiled, and it has me quite impressed if I may be so bold. One example is the ‘trillion connected objects’ (as the world is predicted to soon have) idea where the digital world can become more connected with the analog world – working together in ways that can help streamline efficiencies in so many places such as energy grids, traffic and congestion grids, healthcare systems, etc.
A speech given by IBM Chairman Sam Palmisano yesterday sheds light on the overall concept. I think it makes an inspiring read.
