Tech Trends 2013: Elements of post digital (Deloitte’s Annual Technology Trends)

Deloitte’s annual Technology Trends report examines the ever-evolving landscape of technology put to practical business use. Once again, we’ve selected 10 trends that we believe have the opportunity to impact business over the next 18 to 24 months.

This year’s theme, Elements of postdigital, looks more deeply into the five forces of postdigital enterprise that we introduced last year: analytics, mobile, social, cloud and cyber. As we have worked more deeply with these elements of postdigital, we’ve discovered that the formulae of these combined elements are likely to have the most significant impact on business.

Our 2013 trends are grouped into two categories:

Disruptors are opportunities that can create sustainable positive disruption in IT capabilities, business operations, and sometimes even business models.

CIO as the Postdigital Catalyst
Mobile Only (and beyond)
Social Reengineering by Design
Design as a Discipline
IPv6 (and this time we mean it)

Enablers are technologies in which many CIOs have already invested time and effort, but which warrant another look because of new developments or opportunities.

Internet Governance Outlook 2013: "Cold Internet War" or "Peaceful Internet Coexistence"?

Anyone who expected that with the end of the Dubai ITU World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) in December 2012, the heated debate on the future regulation of the Internet will slow down should remember to fairytale of the battle of the knight with the seven-headed dragon. Hardly a head is cut off, another is growing. In 2013 the discussion on Internet freedom will likely gain in sharpness.

In fact, in 2013 the Internet governance debate will continue at least in seven different venues. The list is as below:

1. The ITU World Telecommunication Policy Forum (Geneva, May 2013)
2. UNCSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation (Geneva, June 2013)
3. WSIS 10 + (Paris, February 2013)
4. 68th UN General Assembly (New York, October 2013)
5. The 8th Internet Governance Forum (Bali, November 2013)
6. ICANN (Beijing, Durban. Buenos Aires)
7. G8 & G20 (Lough Erne and St. Petersbourg)

2012 has leaded to a growing polarization. Now the tone of the controversy seems to become more aggressive. Almost a quarter of a century after the end of the Cold War of the 20st century, we witness now in the 21st the emergence of a global political scenario which more or less exactly follows this cold war model, not along the old "isms", but along a different understanding of freedom, human rights, innovation, control and the role of governments. Like fire and water, two incompatible ideas about how the Internet should be organized worldwide stand against each other and form two poles of broad spectrum of different opinions.
