Megatrend #2 of 30 - Ambient Intelligence: "𝐴𝐼 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑜  𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑓𝑎𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑐 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑠." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Computing is no longer confined to screens and devices-it's vanishing into our physical world. Smart sensors embedded in walls adjust lighting based on your mood, while Al-powered fabrics in clothing monitor health metrics without your awareness. Voice assistants anticipate needs without being summoned, and autonomous vehicles make thousands of decisions invisibly.

This ambient intelligence creates an ecosystem where technology serves us without demanding our attention-the ultimate expression of Al's integration into human experience.

Good or bad? You be the judge - because it's arriving already, sooner than you think.

This trend is kind of near and dear to my heart since I've been speaking and writing about it for almost three decades - albeit in the context of what I call "hyperconnectivity." And back in 2000, in one of the many Internet-related books I was writing at the time, I introduced the concept of the "IP-chip"—a visionary idea of a computer microchip with built-in Internet capabilities, designed to enable seamless global communication between everyday devices.

I took the liberty of feeding a chapter from one of my books from 1999 - Light Bubs to Yottabits - to an AI app to summarize what I covered, and what I missed. You can access the full PDF here. It's an interesting read!

This wasn't just about connecting gadgets; it was about embedding the Internet's universal language, Internet Protocol (IP), directly into the fabric of our world. My predictions (and I wasn't the only one making this one) proved remarkably prescient, laying the conceptual groundwork for what we now widely recognized as the Internet of Things (IoT).

My prediction was that these IP chips would be "imminent" and would "invade your home or office in unprecedented numbers" within a decade, fundamentally shifting Internet access away from a primary reliance on personal computers.

Fast forward to 2025, and this vision of hyper-connectivity is undeniably our reality.

But that's only the first step. We're now about to integrate AI directly into all of these 'smart devices,' promising to make them 'smarter.' Good or bad? Will it make them better or worse? A great idea of a massive mistake? Debate rages.

Imagine devices around us that don't just react, but anticipate.

If I had a child (No, Scarlet is not my daughter. In fact, there are at least 4 people right now on the planet with my name), and my condo had 12 steps to the upper floor (most do) I would wire each step to play a successive note for each step. At the top, and the bottom, there would be a screen that tells them what scale they just played (including alternative names... there are many in some cases)

Then I'd teach the child to walk the scales by skipping steps for "whole steps". The fun begins when they've learned the modes and we move onto Harmonic Minor modes with the really big step.

Fun way to learn scales up and down. No? Or is this abuse? I think kids would learn modes quickly this way.

If you’re a techie, interested in #hardware and #software systems you should know that an unnamed person has developed a chip that runs #python - natively. Python on hardware; no C, no VM, just a pure hardware implementation. And it’s 30x to 50x faster than alternative, non-hardware approaches. Use cases include #ML and #IoT and #sensors

Quantum Navigation via Magnetic fields.

<quote>
Even when the equipment was mounted inside a plane, where interference is much worse, it outperformed existing systems by at least 11x. This is the first time quantum technology has been shown to outperform existing tech in a real-world commercial or military application, a milestone referred to as achieving “quantum advantage."
