Technology and AI
With excess energy, human society has invented a host of technologies
One area that truly has seen the results of Exponential is Technology. Adapting to change takes energy. It takes energy to learn new skills and adapt to new and ever-changing societal norms. Technology and its changing form have large impacts on individual and group approach and avoid.
Adapting to technological change also impacts approach and avoid. Each person has their own adaptation to fast-changing technology. This can make it challenging for companies to manage brain predictions (better service) of their customers. It also plays a large role for employees to be trained correctly to help the customers.
Areas we will focus on in Technology:
AI
New technologies to improve the human experience
Technologies for organizations and individuals to compete
Technologies that address everything on this page
Quantum Computing
Importance of Technology
Like knowledge, humans have made great strides in their standard of living and vast achievements in many facets of their lives. Technology is vitally important when considering the categories listed in the Big Picture (and others not listed). Examples:
> Energy - Increases in technology are helping to extract more energy
> Economy - Technology has made society more efficient and increased overall wealth
> Resources - Technology has allowed human society to find and obtain more resources
> Environment - With new technologies, human society can reduce some impacts on the environment
> Knowledge - Advances in technology and knowledge work together as technology helps to spread known and emerging knowledge
"IS" Statement regarding Technology
The rate of change in technical advances is astounding. The other side of that is the amount of change it can do to a society, along with the uncertainties that come with it. Humans will advance technology and expect those with larger gains to use this advantage in the competition for energy, resources, and dominance within the human hierarchy.
Mapping Strategy for Technology
A disadvantage of society, Energy, Economics, Resources, and the Environment is that these are out of the control of an individual or an organization. Technology advances are out of control as well. However, an organization can use Technology as a strong adaptation to Uncertainty and Change. Leveraging technology to help people adapt by Mapping will be an important strategy for us.
Human survival drives Technology advances. Thus, expect more exponential change in the category. Especially considering the need to adapt as a whole society to changes in all the categories listed above.
2025 Technology Updates
What we will be watching for this upcoming year
TECHNOLOGY
In an Exponential world, technical advances will provide awe. As humans, we are seeing massive improvements within a lifetime. Look for societal Fear and Inspiration as we advance. In 2025, we will be watching:
- AI
- Technology that can help all the categories of this page
- New technologies that can help organizations compete in this constantly changing world.
