A few years ago, I wrote a book about the internet of things for the CEO of a London tech firm.
As I interviewed him, he told me that “we’re at the beginning of the beginning”, adding that the point we’re at now is similar to where we were 15 or 20 years ago, when everyone knew that the internet was on its way to changing things but no one (apart from those whose job was to know) really understood how things were going to change.
The internet of things is going to be bigger (much bigger), and we’re struggling to keep up with the internet as it stands. Just today, I’ve read a report on the House of Lords calling for a digital super-regulator because, the Lords say, self-regulation by big technology companies is “clearly failing”.
Obviously we won’t always be “at the beginning of the beginning”, and our kids certainly won’t be.
Brexit or no Brexit (the second Meaningful Vote takes place in three days), and whatever your views, politicians in the UK haven’t done themselves any favours with their handling of the process – or countless other issues.
