The Hidden Digital Divide

Moore’s LawThis observation measures advancements in R&D in digital electronics

It estimates that every 18 months the number of transistors in microprocessors doubles

So far these advancements have led to:• Cheaper electronic goods• Increased memory capacity• Increase in pixels in digital cameras

Moore’s Law

Digital electronics have contributed to world economic growth in the last 40 years

Therefore Moore’s Law describes the driving force of technological and social change, productivity and economic growth

The Singularity

The point where artificial intelligence matches human intelligence is called the singularity.

At present our smart phones are nice toys, but what will happen when they are smarter than you?

And when will that happen?

14

Catching up?

The size of our brains is amazing!

The brain can make 2.88 x 1017 calculations per second.

That figure is roughly the same as the volume of one of the Great Lakes in North America.

Computers are not yet at that stage, but they are catching up – and rapidly!

The End of Capitalism has Begun – Paul Mason

The Ideal Machine - 1858

Marx imagined information coming to be stored and shared in something called a “general intellect” – which was the mind of everybody on Earth connected by social knowledge.

In short, he had imagined something close to the information economy in which we live.

He wrote, its existence would “blow capitalism sky high”.

Where does that leave your country?

• Digital economy in the EaP region is asymmetrical with the EU

• and …. IT is about to exponentially develop• We are moving into a post capitalist society• Manufacturing, and middle-management jobs will go• But jobs linked to innovation are least affected • Because power will reside in knowledge and creativity

What are other countries doing? Georgia.
