After flirting with wear- able tech in 2012 and 2013, the consumer technology market is finally ready to embrace wearable comput- ing as a full-on trend in 2014. And the biggest entrant in the wearable computing market is almost certain to be Google Glass. There’s been almost as much anti-hype as hype around Google Glass over the past 12 months, but it’s a safe bet that if Google Glass is cool enough for the run- way models of DVF and the fashion spreads of Vogue, it’s also cool enough for the mainstream tech consumer who’s looking to move beyond the smartphone. Going forward, broad consumer acceptance around wearable computing — whether in the form of the latest Samsung smart- watch, Google Glass or any of the new fitness gadgets — will continue to open the door to radical innovation in the wearable computing segment. At this month’s CES event in Las Vegas, some of the most-hyped products of the year are related to “biometrics” – such as headbands, socks and bras that claim to be able to measure your brain waves, heart rate and level of physical exertion. Your next-door neigh- bor becomes a venture capitalist. The JOBS Act (aka the Crowdfunding Act) is set to go into full effect by mid- 2014, and that could lead to anyone — not just a wealthy accredited investor — having the ability to invest in start-ups, any- where in the country and in any industry. In short, it will soon be almost as easy to back a hot tech company on a new equity crowdfunding portal as it is to crowdfund a cool artistic project on Kickstarter or Indiegogo. In the process, expect to see a lot of “What’s the future of the VC industry?” articles. It’s only natural, since crowdfunding seems to have the potential to dis- rupt the traditional VC industry by creating an entirely new type of investor. And once it’s your temperamental next-door neighbor, and not a cooly rational Harvard MBA mak- ing the decision of where to allocate investment dollars, this could lead to some fan- tastic innovations being funded in coming years. Consider the example of the Terrafugia flying car con- cept, which has raised more than $10 million on the crowdfunding site Wefunder. A commercial drone company gets anoint- ed as “the next Apple.” The excitement around the Amazon drones delivery concept is almost certain to inspire a number of copycat imitators. After the Jeff Bezos “60 Minutes” seg- ment at the end of the year, there was a surge in stories about possible uses for commercial drone technolo- gy, including the story of quadcopters being used by Deutsche Post. As drones transition from being used to take out terrorist leaders to being used to revolution- ize business models, we’ll inevitably hear talk about the first generation of drone start-ups that are “the next Apple” or the “next Google.” One early front- runner is New York-based Flyterra, which is set to start testing drones in upstate New York, making it one of the first commercial drones companies in the nation. Six states (including New York and Virginia, both home to huge tech communities) have now been cleared to host drones- testing facilities. If the first rounds of testing go well, we could soon hear talk about other states vying to host their own drones test sites, in order to get a hand in any future economic goodies that come from having a vibrant drone inno- vation sector.

2014At the beginning of each year, it’s possible to make predictions about the future of
the tech sector simply by extrapolating from data in the latest Mary Meeker
Internet Trends presentation. It doesn’t require a crystal ball to realize that smart-
phones and tablets will replace PCs, big data will continue to grow at an exponential
rate, and nations such as China will play an ever-greater role in the development of
the Internet. Below is an attempt at thinking big, at imagining how a number of
emerging trends may combine in unique ways to create disruptive trends in 2014.
wednesday 15 01 2014FITAGTimesFLOURISH KNOWLEDGE NETWORKING POWER PROTECTION
States might begin to
woo drone tech companies,
the same way they woo tech
startups as part of a broader
attempt to revitalize their
economies.
<Virtual reality becomesthe next big science fic-
tion technology to go
mainstream.
In many ways, 2013 was
the year that science fiction
became science fact, with
Terminator bots, password
pills and missions to Mars.
In 2014, the one science fic-
tion technology that is final-
ly showing signs of going
mainstream is virtual reali-
ty. Much of the innovation
for now is being driven by
the gaming market, where
the Oculus Rift virtual real-
ity headset for 3D Gaming
is due to come to market by
mid-2014.
But gaming is just the tip
of the iceberg. People are
already thinking of ways
that virtual reality could
change everything from
retail experiences to enter-
tainment experiences. Ford
automobile designers are
even working on ways to
use the Oculus Rift to
design better cars.
<Bill Gates amazes usagain with another
innovation for the
developing world.
Bill Gates continues to
entice us with his vision for
changing the future of the
developing world, primarily
by creating new innovations
that can lower mortality
rates. In just the past few
years, as he reminded us last
summer, Bill Gates has
turned into a digital age
Leonardo Da Vinci. It’s
only a matter of time before
he amazes us again with a
simple, clever innovation
for the world’s rising bil-
lions that addresses a basic
need like clean sanitation.
As the “developing”
world starts to catch up to
the “developed” world, it’s
only inevitable that nations
across Asia, Africa and
Latin America will begin to
attract more attention from
the West’s top innovators.
We’ve already started to see
this in Africa, where inno-
vations in mobile banking
and mobile health are
occurring as fast — or faster
— than in the United States.
In a best-case scenario,
there will be a virtuous cir-
cle, as innovations in health
complement innovations in
mobile and Internet.
<Bitcoin revolutionizespolitics.
Insurgencies and upris-
ings around the world —
especially in the Arab world
— have been quick to use
new technologies — every-
thing from smartphones for
rapidly organizing protests
to Twitter for getting their
message out to the world.
So why not Bitcoin?
Couldn’t sovereign states
such as the United States
use Bitcoin to fund rebel
groups — say, the Syrian
rebels — so as not to leave
behind a paper trail for the
media to follow. In other
words, Bitcoin could help
avoid another Iran-Contra
Affair.
Bitcoin, or any of the
other emerging crypto-cur-
rencies, are perfect for
insurgents — anonymous,
hard-to-track and just as
good as cash. For that mat-
ter, they are also perfect for
mainstream politicians. It’s
only a matter of time before
politicians are able to accept
Bitcoin, and that could lead
to an awkward situation
where you really don’t
know who’s funding a can-
didate. In Texas, one Senate
campaign could feature
Bitcoin in 2014. And, if
Bitcoin truly is anonymous
(and there’s been debate
about that), money could be
theoretically funneled to
mainstream political candi-
dates to circumvent current
campaign donation limits.
<DIY biology becomesthe next big tech hob-
byist trend, replacing
3D printing.
Just as 3D printing cap-
tured the public imagination
by radically changing our
notions of what it is possi-
ble to create in the physical
world, DIY biology could
have the same impact on the
way we view the biological
world. Thanks to Craig
Venter’s pioneering efforts
to map the human genome
more than a decade ago, the
average person now has the
potential to understand his
or her own genetic destiny,
and that’s leading to the
arrival of new startups like
23andMe as well as new
DIY biology hacker spaces.
The only question, of
course, is how the DIY biol-
ogists and geneticists cope
with the legal, moral and
philosophical questions of
their work. As we’ve seen
with 23andMe, it’s not
always so easy to gain regu-
latory approval — and
that’s even before the hack-
ers get involved. In some
futuristic scenarios pro-
posed by Craig Venter, it’s
also possible for biologists
to hack the genetic code of
some microorganisms, lead-
ing to radical new mutations
and new forms of life. Most
likely, in 2014, you’ll start
to see more crowdfunding
efforts of the type pioneered
by the Glowing Plants proj-
ect in 2013, which raised
nearly half a million dollars
to make possible genetically
modified glow-in-the-dark
plants.
<The world sees thefirst-ever 3D-printed
organ.
Organovo, a biotech
company in San Diego,
recently claimed that it
would have a 3D-printed
liver ready to go by the end
of 2014. So far, organs have
been too complex to print,
but there have been limited
successes with things such
as human tissue and bone. It
appears to be only a matter
of time before 3D-printed
organs become a reality,
thanks to new high-tech
“bioprinters.”
This growth in 3D-print-
ed organs will lead to a
number of debates about a
whole range of possible
industries that may be pos-
sible in the future, such as
cosmetic internal surgery, in
which you receive brand-
new organ transplants. It
would be like the scenario
in the science fiction film
“Elysium,” where the
wealthy are never sick
because they could presum-
ably simply swap out
unhealthy organs whenever
needed.
<The first MOOC isfully taught by a
machine rather than a
human.
If you think about the
MOOC (Massive Open Online
Course) as just a form of cheap
distance education for people
who can’t afford “the real
thing,” then you’re not thinking
far enough out of the box. Thus
far, the traditional market lead-
ers – elite universities such as
Stanford, Harvard and MIT –
have been at the helm of the
MOOC movement. That could
change in 2014, if the first arti-
ficially intelligent machine
begins to fully teach a MOOC
— lecturing, grading and
engaging with students the way
a human professor might, there-
by opening the door to new
educational start-ups to chal-
lenge the entrenched incum-
bents by demolishing the cur-
rent cost structure of higher
education.<

Creating We as , an IT Industry , are up to creating pride for
who we are & not who we Think we are. We are one
of the most dignified businessmen. Let's look at some
of the ways We can do with ease & grace.
= For us ….. whether we are the CEO , the HOD or the senior manager, Pride starts with us.We nurture our business & it is up to us to create a great place to work where people work
with pride. It also requires ongoing training , Sharing about our achievements with all the
employees , customers & family. The environment of pride matters ….. yes ……. It does.
= For our team ……….. I , as your mentor suggest you a model - a 5 step model - "PRIDE"
Let's look at each step ….
It is well known that cli-
mate alone can deter-
mine high versus low
profits and growth. The
business performance of
the entire organization
depends largely upon the
working environment.
In today's business
world, keeping the
employees satisfied is
important. Flexibility is
very important in the
workplace environment.
To keep the flexibility in
the environment
< We may reshape the
rules, including the
employees in the deci-
sion making.
< We may add perform-
ance related , family-
friendly benefits.
< We may provide tailor
made trainings to our
team members as per
the Gap analysis. This
enhances their confi-
dence & pride for the
work they do.
Money /salary may seem
to attract people but that’s
not everything. Each one
of us has a basic human
need to feel appreciated i.e.
recognized for our efforts
& the results we produce.
We may design a sim-
ple, transparent RRP
(Recognize, reward pro-
gram) within our company
& implement it effectively.
Please remember that
we must include our cus-
tomers, the family member
& the team in celebrations.
Some Suggested ideas
are…….
< Employees’ children
receive a gift voucher
from the company
when they bring their
report cards.
< Health check up camps
for all the employees &
their family members.
< “A Switch the role day”
– Once a month , each
employee performs the
role of an another
employee.
< Employee participation
In a profit sharing plan.
When we involve the
ideas & suggestions of
everyone , they experience
worthiness & pride. We
may have meeting , for a
half an hour meeting, for
sharing & suggestions.
Each one of us display
projects and ideas they
work on. This creates an
environment for innova-
tion & creativity at all
levels.
Please remember to
provide positive feedbacks
& to appreciate forwarding
ideas . It requires integrity
i.e. respect, honour & pride
for one another. Also,
maintaining consistency in
fulfilling the promises will
play its part.
Whoever is with us,
experiences pride when
he/she is safe , taken care
of and is assured about
his/her development. The
mantra is
"I" will grows when my
company grows & My
company grows when 'J'
grow".
It s critical to have a
development plan for the
company, the CEO & each
employee. We may help
everyone in creating the
same for their people
around.
Here , I request you to
create - Vision , Mission &
Values ….. Please , do it
without fail. Then , all of
us will be equipped to deal
with greater challenges &
will have a designed,
defined career path.
Increase in productivity is
for sure.
Regular updates &
training programs provide
us with an opportunity to
develop.
In today’s dynamic,
rapidly changing busi-
ness scenario, it is
important that the
employees are empow-
ered fully.
Ongoingly evaluate all
the aspects ranging
employee cost of
turnover to employee
attitudes. The respective
department’s manager is
accountable for this step.
The whole team cre-
ates a new ‘Gap’ for each
employee looking at
the current circumstances
Irrespective of ‘boss -
employee’ relationship,
they give feedback to
each other & grade them.
Healthy environment cre-
ates an environment of
PRIDE all around.
03 For our clients /
customers:-
We may use all vari-
ous methods of commu-
nication & reach our
customers to generate &
elevate pride for what we
offer, we do, we provide
& for who we are as a
‘business’.
We all know we can.
Let’s promise ourselves
that we will create an
environment that’s
healthy & inspiring to
work & the natural
result will be ‘PRIDE’<

From the first day that you plug in a
new piece of IT hardware, the
clock starts ticking toward the day when
it will be pulled out of service.
When that day comes, responsible IT execs
ensure that the now-surplus component is either
repurposed, resold or recycled – with none of its
toxic components ending up in an unregulated
Third World dump.
Fortunately, it is possible for proactive-
minded IT departments to prevent this from hap-
pening, thus protecting the environment, people,
and the valuable public image (and stock price)
of the company.
Big corporations go through lots of IT
equipment. “Akamai Technologies' global con-
tent distribution network is made up of 127,000
servers and is growing daily,” says Nicole Peill-
Moelter, Akamai’s director of environmental
sustainability. “These servers are spread across
81 countries in 1,150 networks, and we refresh
them on a four-year basis.”
Every piece of IT hardware – be it a server,
monitor, router, keyboard or mouse – has a value
and costs associated with it throughout its lifes-
pan. They include the cost of acquisition, instal-
lation, housing, maintenance, and ultimately dis-
posal. Rackspace is a managed hosting and
cloud computing company with nine data centers
and 100,000 servers in use at any given time.
Melissa Gray, Rackspace’s director of global
sustainability says, “TCO includes the cost of
responsible hardware disposal once it is past its
operational lifespan.” She adds, “This means
that the money is there in the budget to dispose
of our surplus equipment responsibly, ensuring
that Rackspace’s equipment does not cause any
environmental issues.”
The same approach is followed by Akamai.
“We are committed to being environmentally
and socially responsible, which means that we
consider and include disposal costs in our TCO,”
Peill-Moelter says. “In doing so, our goal is to
budget for the ‘greenest’ equipment disposal, not
the cheapest.”
There are all kinds of IT equipment recy-
cling firms promising to provide responsible
equipment disposal to companies, institutions
and individuals. The key to ensuring that the
company you choose does what it promises is to
select a recycler with strong credentials, Gray
says. Fortunately, there are certification pro-
grams to verify such promises. One of these is e-
Stewards, which is backed by the Basel Action
Network non-profit waste watchdog group, and
endorsed by corporate heavy-hitters such as
Alcoa, Bloomberg,
Boeing and Wells
Fargo. Another is
Responsible
Recycling
( R 2 )
Solutions.
Both pro-
grams are
endorsed by the
Environmental
P r o t e c t i o n
Agency.
Once you
know what to look
for, certified hard-
ware disposal
firms are not that
hard to find. For
instance, Newport
Computers of
Rochester, N.H., is
“a certified e-
Steward and
R2/RIOS (Recycling Industry Operating
Standards) Certified Electronics Recycler,” says
Anne M. McKivergan, one of the company’s two
vice presidents. “We find that many of our cus-
tomers are requiring one or both of those certifi-
cations these days as proof of our commitment to
responsible handling of the assets.”
Companies such as Newport who have
undertaken e-Stewards and R2/RIOS certifica-
tion regularly open up their systems and proce-
dures to an independent third party for auditing.
McKivergan adds, “A reputable company who is
handling the waste properly will be able to pro-
vide documentation showing the flow of the
materials to their final destination and will not
have a problem explaining where everything
goes”.
She cautions, “One of the clearest signs of a
company who is merely dumping the electronic
waste illegally and indiscriminately is anyone
who says, ‘we’ll pay you for your e-waste’
before even asking what you’re trying to dispose
of.”
Within two years of deployment, the best
servers and routers are already showing their age
-- at least in comparison to the newest IT equip-
ment that has subsequently come to market.
Think of it as being the Curse of Moore’s Law:
With the number of transistors on integrated cir-
cuits doubling approximately every two years,
IT equipment made and deployed in 2011 is now
definitely behind the curve!
Google is a major consumer of servers and
routers; for security reasons, the search engine
giant won’t say how many they actually have.
However, Google is very public about its com-
mitment to environmentally sustainable prac-
tices, including how it deals with aging IT equip-
ment. “We're a carbon neutral company and have
strong initiatives in place to reduce the environ-
mental impact of our global operations,” says
Google spokesperson Kate Hurowitz. “When it
comes to equipment, our approach is to extend
the life cycle of our equipment as much as pos-
sible, then dispose of it responsibly.”
Specifically, “Before we buy new equipment
and materials, we look for ways to reuse what we
already have,” Hurowitz says. “As we upgrade
to newer, higher-speed servers, we repurpose
older machines either by moving them to servic-
es that don’t require as much processing power,
or by removing and reusing the components that
are still in good working condition. Since 2007,
we've remanufactured and
repurposed enough outdated
servers to avoid buying over
300,000 new replacement
machines.”
At Google, destroying
data on surplus hard drives is
an internal matter: “We completely erase any
components that stored data, and then resell
them into the market, giving the equipment a
second life,” Hurowitz says.
As a certified hardware recycler, Newport
Computers provides data removal services to its
clients. In fact, “a big part of what we do is data
destruction,” McKivergan says. This is available
in various strengths. Newport Computers can
use software to overwrite the drive, removing
data while leaving the hardware reusable. But in
those instances where data destruction must be
100% certain, “we can bring out the big guns and
either degauss the drives or shred them, making
them unusable again,” she says.
In those instances where an IT department is
disposing of equipment that had low-security
applications – such as usage by customer service
reps at a call center, or entry-level clerks in
Administration – it may be possible to wipe it,
and then donate this equipment to charity.
Such donations can consist of complete
machines and/or parts. Outdated software can
also be a welcome gift, as long as donating it
does not pose any licensing/ownership issues.
Giving old equipment to charitable foundations
such as TechSoup or Computers for Charity is
both socially and environmentally responsible,
and also good for one’s corporate image. So is
making equipment donations to local schools,
social agencies, and churches, whose IT needs
are easily satisfied by CPU speeds that are inad-
equate by current business standards.
The reason that companies such as Akamai,
Google and Rackspace were able to make well-
informed decisions about equipment disposal is
because all three have embraced environmental-
ly sustainable practices as a way of doing busi-
ness. “At Rackspace, we are a member of the
Green Grid Association,” Gray says. “This
means that we are actively involved in finding
ways to improve green practices at data centers,
including the development and adoption of the
Electronics Disposal Efficiency (EDE) metric.
The EDE is designed to allow companies to eas-
ily and effectively rate how well they are dispos-
ing of their surplus technology, with an eye to
improving it over time.” Rackspace also governs
its business practices in line with standards such
as ISO14001 (Environmental Management
Systems), OSHAS 18001 (Health and Safety),
and ISO9001 (Quality Management) -- and
requires the samestandards from its suppliers.
By doing so, Rackspace is covering all of its
bases when it comes to environmental and social
responsibility.
Choosing an equipment recycler who does
it properly and under audited certification is more
expensive than using a fly-by-night company. Finding
the right recycler will require a commitment of staff
time and other resources, but the benefits justify the
expense. “Being environmentally responsible does
affect the bottom line, but so does being irresponsi-
ble,” Gray says. “In fact, when you add in the impact
on the community, the planet, employee morale, and
your firm’s reputation, the cost of being responsible is
actually less than not doing the right thing.” <
