The era of information technology

The era of information technology


The world is on the verge of revolutionizing conventional wisdom about the economy, markets, finance and credit. The changes will be caused by the growth of technology companies. It is necessary to actively invest in the IT company to capitalize on its domination of the future.

Around the world, we have formed a new group of companies with strong financial capabilities, strong and promising business, unlimited monopoly in their respective segments, and ambitious leaders who can transform the world literally. What is probably dreamed of Steve Jobs - is more than an iPhone in every pocket or computer in every home.

High-tech companies are now characterized by the following characteristics: high debt, almost without debt and constant and positive influx of money from the main activity, very little chance of competition appearing on the market: 100% competitors could be bought, as they say, the continuous improvement "permanent" technology, so that most new solutions, know-how, innovative products and software go to a small circle of companies

global presence, both physical and informative and technological.


These characteristics of global technology hardly depend on national governments or financial institutions, on anyone! These companies already have a large share of world domination, though not all are obvious. In fact, they probably have a great future. Change something in this scenario, possibly too late.

In a time when wealth is becoming more and more (a) public (internet, mobile, programming), b) intangible (content and software, communication, e-money), only IT managers can count on the benefits they had before had to get computing.

Victim 1: Government.




Another example is freedom of information. The Internet is open to all, the state's attempt to lose control of the media makes no sense. This is obvious in Russia - people no longer trust the official media and focus on the Internet. The government can no longer keep secrets (an example from Wikileaks), can not consolidate the mass and can not control the emergence of social groups (previously the "parties" were outdated.).

The state and government have lost the monopoly of information, propaganda and brainwashing of citizens. With them they lost a significant part of the government, which was the case before. However, it is a mistake to assume that this power is lost forever: it is simply transferred from the government into the hands of companies that control network support. Previously, they benefited from controlling information in the form of government-drained financial flows - and today they are a global Internet company.

If so, do the changes take on?

What happens to the tax functions of the state?




Will the state continue to control citizens' lives by disseminating references, permits and information otherwise accessible?

Are there limits to programs, information and data transfer, if these are to remain the physical movement of goods, and technologies for the physical movement of citizens?

Will the state continue to monitor the electoral process with the authorities, the judiciary, the transport infrastructure, etc.?

It is unlikely that global technology companies will not think about these issues.
