''What follows is a brief summary of where the blockchain industry has come from over the past 10 years, where (I think) it’s headed over the next 10 years — and a lens to help understand why. It’s lighter on the deep-history and heavier on the more recent and forward-looking perspective.'' - Click HERE  via Medium.com

One of the most interesting stories and exciting news I have read recently. I am curious to follow the development of BL's new disruptive business venture and the industry reaction of the existing IT status-quo. Will governments embrace an open or a totally controlled internet? Share your thoughts and comments below. ''Berners-Lee will launch Inrupt, a startup that he has been building, in stealth mode, for the past nine months. Backed by Glasswing Ventures, its mission is to turbocharge a broader movement afoot, among developers around the world, to decentralize the web and take back power from the forces that have profited from centralizing it. In other words, it’s game on for Facebook, Google, Amazon'' Read the full story here

Was given permission by Ralf Lippold who is a friend and business partner based in Dresden (we developed networking opportunities for young entrepreneurs between Athens and Dresden a few years ago under Founders Accelerating events organized in his hometown), to re-post one of his past articles as I thought it grasps the dynamics of how technology is shaping our lives nowadays. Read below and feel welcome to share your thoughts or leave your comments: We hear it everyday in the news, " Internet of Things ", " Cyberphysical Systems ", " Smart Home ", " Connected Car " - it sounds like a marketing "war" is being pushed on us. Do we really need this new technology? Why should I care? Over five decades ago Jay W. Forrester created, more or less "forced" by several forces that came up around that time, the field system dynamics. In short system dynamics is "a computer-aided approach to policy analysis and design" ...

Dear Greek Friends, I promised three Greek fighters for a change to the better, Stathis, Sheridan  and Christiana to write down the thoughts I have for all of you and your country.  We met on the internet and it think it is no coincidence. I don't believe in coincidences,  because I love the greek history, the country, its philosophers and YOU, the people.  So it was also no coincidence, that you, the population, had to face this tremendous  crisis. This crisis is your chance! It is your chance to have the biggest influence and  the greatest achievements you may not yet be able to imagine. I am convinced, you  will lead your country out of the crisis into a SUSTAINABLE and RESILIENT future.  As a humanist I am focused since many years, actually since decades, on how to change  the world to the better and I was working hard, thinking and fighting a lot, but I always had  the feeling that I could not help, move or achieve enough unti...

Dear readers, I had some very interesting thoughts exchange with Silicon Valley's strategist Sheridan Tatsuno! I was lucky and honored to meet him in personal, attend his lectures, project set-ups & class discussion contributions, while studying at Jonkoping's International Business School in Sweden. Here's what he says about the next new thing happening around the globe right now... " The Next New Thing will be global networks where billions of smartphone users create new content (photos, videos, images, text, etc.) in unlimited new ways that we can’t even imagine right now, just as Internet developers created new Web businesses and groups that we couldn’t imagine at Stanford in 1993 before Mosaic and Yahoo! showed up. The future belongs to visionaries who find useful services and market needs, then build and share them . That’s the role of Silicon Valley Global Network: to connect emerging visionaries. The world really needs new companies and ...

When somebody asks me to pick my favourite album from their discography through the 80's and 90's (still kicking in the 00's), I would rather answer a simple mathematical question instead. Yes, I admit that I am a die hard fan, even though my "Holidays in Eden" vinyl scratches sensitive strings inside me whenever the "needle" runs in circles. So what happened to this band after its commercial success in USA & their hit single "Kayleigh"? Sales went down indeed, even though they retained their popularity in South America and Europe too, but they didn't top their previous releases. Their contract with EMI (which used to handle all their marketing & promotional campaigns up to that point) expired. Something had to be done to keep the train moving. The new singer, Steve Hogarth, replaced the Scotish theatrical poet-singer Fish, splitting fans in two. Sales continued declining down to the point where their album titled marillion.com ...
