Last week at the unmanned vehicle conference UNVEX we unveiled Condor, our unmanned helicopter. Thanks to its design, the helicopter has great potential for civilian as well as military purposes, and the use of drones for civilian purposes is very promising. Some of the most interesting applications are:
Or Betty Snyder Holberton? They are women who changed the world through technology. Women who transformed the traditionally masculine world of technology. And these women are not the exception. Indeed, at Indra more than 13,000 women work with great determination to innovate and generate added value for our clients and the society we live in. Making the world a better place to live in through consulting and technology.
Good question… The concept of cloud computing has been with us for several years. It was first adopted as we now know it by the giant Internet providers, such as Google and Amazon, midway through 2000. These operators were looking for a competitive edge by offering mass services and infrastructure and "leasing" it to third parties, thus achieving economies of scale to drive price competitiveness and reach more businesses and individuals.
This week one of the most important events in the consumer electronics world took place. The Mobile World Congress is the annual showcase for the unveiling of the most outstanding and groundbreaking developments in the field of telephony, from new terminals to the latest standards and important announcements from telecommunications operators. Here's a summary of the best announcements at MWC 2014, which was marked from start to finish by mobile devices, wearables and some great new gambles.
This week Barcelona played host to the Mobile World Congress (MWC), without a doubt one of the most important new technology showcases that currently exists. The proof lies in the figures: 75,800 delegates, 20,000 support staff, 1,800 exhibitors from around the globe. And most important of all—the presence of the world's technology leaders in the city of Barcelona. The center stage at this year's event was undoubtedly taken by Facebook's Zuckerberg and Jan Koum of WhatsApp fame.
This week I had the honor of sharing the stage with Pedro Nueno during the Estrella Galicia's annual convention, where the main subject centered on internationalization and growth.
Pedro Nueno is one of those "silent" but brilliant people in our country whose humility and simplicity make them loom even larger. http://web.iese.edu/curriculums/nueno.html
The foremost mobile communication event is fast approaching. This year, the Mobile World Congress will be held on February 24, 25, 26 and 27 at the Fira in Barcelona. In addition, this year five Spanish mobile apps will compete for the best application of the year in the Mobile Premier Awards. In less than one week the Fair will open its doors with professionals like Mark Zuckerberg (the founder of Facebook) and new products such as the Samsung Galaxy 5.
In their quest for greater efficiency, companies have opted to apply state-of-the-art automation technologies, with obvious repercussions for the number of manual workers they hire. Nowadays, the tendency is to call on technicians who interact with sophisticated equipment that carries out the entire production process, from robots for manufacturing cars to computerized ovens for optimizing the bread baking industry. At the same time, there has been a rise in the demand for knowledge workers to direct, plan and administer organizational processes.
This week I was finally able to test Google Glass. Not only that, I even gave a conference wearing the glasses (thanks to the company www.itglas.es). I'll sum up my experience in one word: MIND-BLOWING.
In my opinion it's the most powerful technological revolution since the cellphone, far superior to all the devices designed by my beloved Steve Jobs. You'll probably think I'm exaggerating, but Google Glass will enable us to do things with technology in situations hitherto unimaginable.
2014 certainly began with plenty of optimism regarding the Spanish economy, and even I started believing the talk of economic recovery. The week began with President Rajoy appearing on Antena 3, with the IMF (International Monetary Fund) later tripling Spain’s growth forecast for 2014 from 0.2% to 0.6-0.8%, and the week closed with an excellent Gesconsult report. And there was plenty of positivity on Spain elsewhere, as evidenced by recent headlines such as these:
"Spain is back” JP Morgan (1/11/2014)
As a follow-up to the discussion we started in the previous post about how human beings have evolved and acquired the capacity to "sense" what is a harmless truth and what is a dangerous lie in order to guarantee the survival of the species, we take our reflections one step further by considering how we can evolve to guarantee our survival in these new environments in which we now live through modern technology.
