Lady Macbeth said “What’s done is done” and immediately after that, to clarify the point, “What’s done cannot be undone.” That was in the early XVII century: technology has progressed to the point that, at least in some specific situations, you can change the past! This is what Apple has …

The complexity of designing microchips keeps growing. We have chips today that embeds more than a billion transistors and you need to connect them with one another in very specific ways to get the kind of circuits you need. Let’s get this straight. It is now a long time that …

Processing is cheap, actually it is not! On the one hand we have seen a continuous decrease of processing cost but at the same time we have been increasing our (our applications) need for processing to the point that it made sense to create huge processing infrastructures that can be …

If you want to see how wild our imagination could be about the future of car, just browse the web. You’ll find futuristic supercar that fall in the category of “faster, luxury, amazing, wow”, as well as cars that are designed to fit a specific function, like saving parking space …

One of the interesting part of the FTI’s report is the one focussing on the evolution of the transportation sector that will change the status quo of manufactures as well as the value perception of the market. If you think about it, for decades the competition among manufacturers have been …

As mentioned in the previous post in this series, and as pointed out in the FTI’s report, the evolution trend for communications networks is shifting the focus to the edges. Hence, in this decade we can expect a growth of data processing at the edges, both in devices and in …

Digital Transformation of Healthcare Until 2019, in the pre-Covid era, Healthcare was lagging behind several other sectors in terms of Digital Transformation. The music sector as well the travel sector were well ahead, and even the manufacturing sector was considered to be much more advanced than healthcare. The pandemic did …

Healthcare at home At home healthcare is nothing new. As technology progresses there are more and more opportunity for continuous monitoring and remote diagnostics. I remember I started to be involved, from a Telco perspective, in telemedicine 40 years ago as we were looking for application of ISDN, an amazing …

The new Apple M1 chip has been around for a few months now and the feedback on its performance are so impressive that quite a few people are asking how is that possible. A low cast Mac Mini is now offering better performance than last year Mac Pro that had …

I started to work in 1971 and after a few months I made my first acquaintance with the 4004. It was an extraordinary chip, the first microprocessor ever, firstly manufactured in March 1971, fifty years ago, packaging an unbelievable 2,300 transistors. I remember how excited all people around me were, …
