I really don't read or perceive that there has been declared the official winner of the race for CLOUD computing: one of three things that the technical sector has decided is the cool things we need:
IofT: Internet of things or intelligence of things?
The best way I would be able to explain to a non-layperson what this acronym means is that you can control things designed to have enhanced technical capabilities. I would use General Motors as a prime example. In my view, opinion and limited observation. I don't have to work there, all I have to do is pick up on the consistency of being on message flowing neighborly along that appeals to the largest percentage of people.
Again, I've never worked for GM or read any prospectus or proposal on how they were going to prove that they were savable after a big government bail out.
I saw it before, just as a user of products, a major accounts rep, a vendor and a buyer perspective: Xerox. Anne Mulcahey (need to check spelling) put some building blocks in place on how they were going to rebuild a once great company from the basement of the downward steps to rock bottom to recovery and rethinking innovation and deciding to self-consciously or corporate self-examination: what would they be known for?
So a lot of these almost washed up companies are having an injection of innovation or continued creation of a historical identity.
Most would say that Xerox discovered xerography and became this really big company, until it delved out significant intelligence to Apple and Adobe. Well yes, that is correct.
My guess would be how Xerox, through stringent quality control, strove to replace dust pollutant of toner dust, toxic for our water systems and ecosystems. They made new toner that was sustainable, really smartly reusing natural resources that does not upset the universe's eco-structure from emitting toxins.
Safe to say, Xerox is a prime example of something highly identifiable can decoy from staying static and holding true to being innovative.
The best companies in the world, in my opinion are not bricks and motor, factory, industry, on the "try" at the end - see that? Or maybe I'm psychic and see the pattern emerging. How?
From watching the numbers. Looking for patterns. That information is out there and it is free. When it goes to the cloud, someone is going to make heaps of money storing their customer's information.
AI: Artificial intelligence.
I guess somewhere, somehow, someone decided that it was hip or cool to include "intelligence" to create an acronym that rings with distinction, like a battle cry to the trod on economic forces blow over.
Robots have been around for decades. I haven't fact check, however, I'm going to say they started surfacing when more and more companies starting realizing, by looking at numbers with a strong focus on profit, they had to try to get rid of people, which is the highest expense .... yet few would survive without its people.
Has anyone written about a theme of companies who become so bloated with their own ego and self-importance, that complacency would never reside. Quickly replaced with value, rate of return, key performance indicators.
Disruption.
Is when someone comes up with an idea that totally transforms the way we do or think of things. Think of the smart phone as a disruption to mobility telecommunications.
Taking something that we use every single day, is as familiar to us as our television or automobile: the telephone. As it evolved from a communications device into a hand held computer that uses wireless or the internet in order to transmit.
A telegram is something we consider as old, war era communications of great importance has now been developed into something immediate. Every day is special because we can communicate with others, convey our thoughts or feelings by the click of fingers or twiddle of thumbs.
What else is out there that hasn't been thought up yet or uncovered a need for? The first things to look at are those every day indispensable items we use and then make them better, causing a ripple effect that requires traditional means to update their technology or capabilities or they will be stuck in the mud at the side of the super highway of happening things.
NOW, I remember what I started to do before being sidetracked sideways for a few hours ::... * mon dieu * [my dear] .... maybe I am losing my mind?

A storyteller is someone who is imaginative
evoking empathy, intellectual connection with a highly *involved crew. Not always YUPPIES as my egocentric alter ego YUPPYdom on Word Press has developed a pulse. Thank you for that. That is the start of how we would define a storyteller, by traditions, teachings, assumptions.
In my mind's eye I see a storyteller as someone who can write
a story, encouraging the absorption of the tale, definition solely by you.
A storyteller can and often does evoke reaction.
Some positive, others not so.
Tears of sadness that comes with empathy,
chuckles or giggles that express joy and humor [key to our Mental Health].
Intrigue, mystery, literature or entertainment
the writer's gift to the world.
A bond that is established.
A loyalty.
A tribe.
You see, I study the numbers, absorb them, roll them around
in my head. Then an eruption of ideas explode
from an implosion from within. A strong
desire to develop writing, a following,
a brand.
I'm always testing things consciously or subconsciously. Perhaps that is why my tribe is really very, tres coolio [ translation: my vibe ]. I had decided from the start to be who I am, be truest to myself. Cherish my mental wellbeing above all else. Sometimes failing, sometimes melancholy, other times a fear of despair.
Have I been spirally downward and only just now realizing it? Or, in the utter pit of despair, clambering to stay as far away from depression as possible, as I read and absorb that topic: Mental Health.
A fascination that compliments my life long love of numbers, hatched at the ripe age of 25. Yes, the parent of a few Millennials of my own. Offspring of my heart, soul and love. Who would have imagined a YUPPIE being able to exude that much love, give up attention, recognition, so yield pride and ego to the exit door. That should in essence describe the boon of the aging YUPPIES. The champion of so many things, discoverers of wondrous wisdom, leaders of free worlds, emblematic of racial acceptance and waivers of discourse. Fashionable statement is the championship of a YUPPIE. In the 80s or ever since. Bred of a generation in which appearance meant everything::... if you appeared the cleanest, purest, honest, intellectual, polished, fashionable young lady or man who surfed their way through the 1980s, hitting your 20s in practically, direct unison with the Millennial implosion of population, attitude, aptitude, striving, able, strong hipsters [ born in the 90s when their parents had done a little adulting before diving into parenthood ].
Lucky for me, when someone was showing me and teaching me something in my 20s, it snapped in to my brain, and hasn't really let go. I think that sales was a science with numbers if I think back on it now. A way to set up your own intellectual (golf-like) game of improving your own score.
If you are driven with south doubt, there is nothing more soothing than a love story of numbers ::... the characters evolving and changing, the plot rotating, the cast of characters alternating. What stays true, is the numbers.
There is corruption in numbers.
But far more poetic and entertaining for sure.
I've been hinting at forecasting being critical
over the past number of posts. Where many of my most devoted readers merge with me, hang out with me virtually, so to speak. What's appealing to me or something worth a expulsion of thought. Some pass on. Others pick up.
The ones that pick up are part of my crew.
How else could they not be (wow, what a bunch of bad grammar eh?) meaning they must be my crew, if the followers are attributed to me. Right?
Let me show you what I mean
while I tell you a story with numbers.
My own numbers.
No one else.
Derived by really smart people
developing algorithms
that pops with artificial intelligence
of a different kind.
My perception of AI or what is catching on
as "artificial intelligence".
Just recently, Facebook announced
setting up shop in Montreal.
As its "Artificial Intelligence" Headquarters.
Facebook has really fallen by the wayside when it comes to my interpretation of "Artificial Intelligence" (theory posted without research other than casual reading and dissemination of information available on the web for free) this Monday, September 25, 2017 at 10:30 pm MST Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Before I started reading up or noticing clips on television about artificial intelligence, I truly thought that how I defined it in my mind to mean to be the right interpretation: AI for simplicity sake of typing as I've ranted about ACRONYM HELL before (maybe one of my more entertaining rants).
I thought and think that AI is the absorption of personalized information (or aka also known as "data" ) stored to the "cloud" [ which is not an Apple creation as in Xerox still is to photocopiers].
It makes sense.
The more faithful I am with certain social media platforms, the more forthcoming they are starting to bring me my numbers. I commented about Linked In's more intuitive dance that they are experimenting with what I would think is mostly my crew: the early adopters of online culture and earliest users of Social Media platforms like Twitter and Facebook before getting a special invite to be able to be the first to sign up to Google Plus or G+ as it is affectionately known.
By reading the numbers, I can tell who is my crew.
It's a vibe that resonates and seems to bounce around like an uplifting game of toss the ball, virtually meaning a rallying of support from those who get to know you by your message, your consistent messaging and vibe.
I did go on a rant today, which I really try to avoid.
Nothing destroys a social media following
more than a rant.
Since people are used to the SPAM and self-promotional garbage,
they're able to tune out that noise and grasp real important stuff.
BUT they avoid rants like a rampant virus.
Toxic and toxicity avoided
so most people run away from toxicity
yet ironically rally around violence or catastrophe.
[You don't have to think that far back
glued to Twitter feeds and 24 hour news
about hurricanes and earthquakes
as most were.]
Nothing deafens your voice faster than a rant.
A misuse of power or a disuse of trust.
That is what I've tried to uphold as an online motto
and a heartfelt belief.
To use the information at your disposal to uplift
educate, elevate anything worthy of a rallying assembly of really smart, gifted, talented, successful, financially stable and morally sound folks.
Those are my PEEPs, TWEEPS, TRIBE, FRIENDS, FAMILY, and FAVORITES.
Looking at the numbers, just defines the spirit of who they are. See if you can see the story?
Let me float this out one more time: this is a very telling page of numbers. I'm wondering if you see what I see?
How healthy are your numbers?
As in: how intimately do your know your numbers?
What numbers you say?
The ones that identify you.
I'm just a number you nag?
Nope, unique to you and nobody else.
Does your brain need exercising?
More than likely if your reaction is to break out in a sweat
imagining gosh-awful mathematics disciplined calculations.
Naw, these are your own.
Your online DNA, meaning unique singular identifier.
Based on your numbers, which mingle with all other stats
aligned and influenced and promoted and/or clicked.
Those are your numbers?
Yes, and even more. The secret to numbers is
to do flips and handstands ... around them, spinning them into circles.
Telling you the story
of who you truly are.
As you are in control of your destiny
when your fingers fall on a keyboard relaxed.
You are attracted to and attracted by quality persons.
Is part of your main brand.
No maliciousness or callowness promoted.
More in motivation, inspiration and devoted supporters.
