We will all be JEDI – Not too far into the future?

On the one side, the “Digital” juggernaut is attaining critical mass. SMAC is accelerating. On the other side, there is a recent development which has a potential to transform all of us into Jedi. Scientists have successfully experimented brain-to-brain communication, albeit at its rudimentary stages. They deserve credit for the pioneering work they all do.

When the brain-to-brain communication becomes a reality, probably it will in a decade or so, the SMAC as we know it today, is likely to change.

Exciting use cases will be coming up for brain-to-brain in all processes. And there could be instances where the SMAC stack products / services that we know of today will be inadequate and new line of products / services might emerge.

With modifications, the brain-to-brain might morph into “brain-to-machine” and change and shape the IoT as we know today, facilitating Machines@Speed-of-Thought. (Thank you Bill Gates)

Quite a few interesting use cases can come up in the HCM processes. 

We may no longer need mobile phones – smart or otherwise. We may no longer need an e-mail.

Most importantly, the major changes might be required in the statutory and regulatory framework of nations and enterprises.

On the lighter side:

Forget about the attrition analysis after I leave. Probably the moment I contemplate a job change, the analytics machines might trigger an alarm to my current employer’s HR and my manager. And send my resignation automatically? Remember the movie Minority Report.

I have nothing against it as long as it also triggers a job offer from another company, ofcourse, with a substantial hike!!!

We are likely to see new brain “waves” and probably brain “quadrants” in the next decade.

Successfactors will be bragging about “brain experience”.

WorkDay will trumpet about “multi-tenant brain”.

Oracle will come out with “Brain Fusion”.

An Analyst firm will come up with a new terminology: Brain-as-a-Service (BaaS)

N.B 1: My family name is not Wan-Kanobi

N.B 2: I am again going to view the DVDs of Iron Man 3, Minority Report, Star Wars and above all T3: Judgement Day
