1. Beyond Cyberspace The future is here and now. It is all around us, as pervasive as the oxygen we breathe, enabling those in the know with instant communication to the abundant resource of information and interconnection we call the Internet. The Internet is all around us, pervasive, intelligent and invisible, not confined to the narrow boundaries of our mind and experience. What happens next as we finally start utilizing this ubiquitous new reality as we redefine business models and communication infrastructures? What happens to our jobs, money and ideas of value? How will this new reality change our ideas of banking, retail, intelligent homes, entertainment, and individuality? What will happen when organisations finally realise that the Internet is far more than images on a computer screen, but an invisible environment that will change logistics, broadcasting, retail, personalisation & the very basis of your competitive environment? What will be the reality Beyond CyberSpace? 2. Enter the CyberSphere (the sequel to the Beyond Cyberspace presentation) Welcome to the Cybersphere, a world where the physical and digital dimensions have become ONE. A world where physical reality is electronic, connected, intelligent and invisible. A world with a continuously evolving relationship between the physical and the digital and a world where everything, and we mean everything, has an internet address and a link to the Internet. Welcome to a world of abundant bandwidth, storage space and processing power. A world where crumple zones, waiting lines, tickets and walls are all virtual. A world where information is symmetrical, business models have power shifted and humans have become part of the Internet. This is a world where our definition of democracy has returned to its true roots, and where the battle between the sovereign individual and the sovereign state has become a reality. Imagine a world where the virtual & physical space is morphed into one, where all the electronic technologies, Internet, payment systems, telephones, computing devices, media channels, security systems, digital personal identities and augmented realities all converge into a single seamless system. 
When the infrastructure is ubiquitous and operates as a utility, like water or electricity, we will move beyond the current paradigm of cyberspace. What happens when information and knowledge are accessible to all who choose to look? What happens when eBusiness, eHealth and eLiteracy have become an invisible normality? What happens after the Ubiquitous Internet has irreparably changed our very understanding of the world we live in? These are the questions that will be answered in the Era of the CyberSphere.

11. More information can today be sent over a single
cable in a second than was sent over the entire
Internet in 2004 in a month.
Bell Labs -> new world speed record for fiber-optic transport.
This record, 100 petabits per second kilometer,
exceeds previous records such as one achieved in
May 2009 of 19 petabyes per second per kilometer
(Pbps/km) claimed by AT&T, NEC and Corning.

12. How was it done?
155 simultaneous wavelengths of light over a single 7000 km
fiber, with optical repeaters every 90 km along the link. Each
wavelength carried 100 gigabits per second of traffic to give
the fiber a total payload of 15.5 terabits (trillion bits) per
second.

 United States Air Force - 2,200 Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)
video-game consoles. Build supercomputer that will be
used for research, including the development of high-
definition imaging systems for radar.
 An iPhone app called Bullet Flight is used by American
Special forces.
 An IBM supercomputer called Roadrunner, established a
new record by operating at more than one petaflop (1,000
trillion calculations a second). Roadrunner is the world’s
first “hybrid” supercomputer, having been assembled in
part from off-the-shelf equipment, including 12,960 Cell
processor chips like those found inside the PS3. It will be
used to simulate the behaviour of nuclear weapons.

26. New abundances and scarcities
 If bandwidth is free, you get a completely different
computer architecture and information economy.
 Transcending all previous concepts of centralization and
decentralization, one global machine will distribute
processing to the optimal point and access everything.
 Feeding on low power and high bandwidth, the most
common computer of the new era will be a digital cellular
phone with an IP address.

 Concreteness : degree to which value is based on
‘physical’ (e.g. a car) or ‘abstract’ ( transport) things.
 Velocity : speed of finding the right connection. (e.g.
time to find a service.)
 Granularity : the size of a thing that is perceived to
have individual value (e.g. CD vs. single MP3.)
 Density : (of the factors of production – land, labour,
capital, information) Degree to which configurations of
these may be ‘optimally’ (un)packed. (e.g. a message
that is understandable (unpacked) in many domains is
dense.)
 Agency : Who or what initiates change and the
degree of freedom to act of these.
