Display of Mankind’s New Creations

In order to maximize the benefits of attending the International CES on January 6-11, 2013, as a credentialed member of the Press, I am now starting to fill up my Pre-Show Planner.

So far, I have received about 400 and counting email invitations from consumer technology companies who are launching new products and/or technologies at the conference. The invitations are for press conferences, press interviews and demos. Many include social-gatherings or receptions in chosen hotels in Las Vegas.

Effective and efficient prioritization and scheduling is necessary.

The enormity of this event is mind-boggling. I am publishing the latest relevant press release of International CES to prove my point.

2013 International CES To Feature Record Amount of Exhibit Space

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)^® today announced that the 2013 International CES^® will feature a record amount of exhibit space, with the show floor totaling more than 1.87 million net square feet. The previous record was 1.862 million net square feet at the 2012 CES. Owned and produced by CEA, the 2013 CES, the world’s largest innovation event, is scheduled Tuesday, January 8-Friday, January 11, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“With the largest show floor in history, more innovative technologies and services will launch at the 2013 CES than anywhere else in the world,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CEA. “From cloud-based services, advancements in digital health, connected vehicle technologies, the latest apps, flexible devices and beyond, the innovations unveiled at the 2013 CES will create new jobs and further economic growth around the world.”

LITTLE “MIRACLES”

These newly invented or created products are so amazing that I call them little “miracles”. They would be on display ironically in the “Sin City” of Las Vegas.

If you live in Nevada, Southern California or anywhere, it is worth the drive or the trip to go, attend and witness the unveiling of these new creations.

You will not regret it!

mHealth Summit 2012

During the last few weeks, I had the privilege of attending several conferences and expos. Almost all of them involved information technologies, but many also focused on the utilization of mobile technologies.

The latest one is the mHealth Summit which I am currently attending as I write this column. It is the largest of its kind and “brings together leaders in government, the private sector, industry, academia, providers and not-for-profit organizations from across the mHealth ecosystem to advance collaboration in the use of wireless technology to improve health outcomes in the United States and abroad.”

Dubbed as one connecting Technology, Business, Research and Policy, the Summit is actually a global meeting by virtue of the participation of 54 countries spanning different parts of the world.

The list of the countries as provided to me by the organizers include:

<photo id="1" />

WHY GO MOBILE? Let the numbers speak for themselves.

In 2012, there are over 6 billion mobile phone subscriptions for a world population of 7 billion.  In fact, in the United States, 297 million people own cell phones. That is 94% of the total population.

Chuck Martin, a Best-Selling Author and Moderator of one of the sessions, now calls the mobile device the 3rd Screen – with the TV and the PC Screens being the 1st and 2nd respectively.  There are 2 billion TVs and 1 billion PCs today.

In his book, “The Third Screen”, which I received at the Summit, he stated that, in the United States, 23 million people let go of their landlines within a 5-year period. Globally, there were 57 million fewer landlines within the same period but 1.9 billion mobile cellular subscriptions were added.

In China, 9 out of 10 mobile users text on the phones. In fact, worldwide 7 trillion text messages were sent last year with each Texter sending an average of 3200 texts monthly.

In 107 countries, cell phones exceed the population. In Japan, consumers swipe cell phones rather than credit cards for payment. In South Korea, free mobile television has been around for 5 years. Broadcasters there say almost 30 million people watch TV regularly from their phones.

After mentioning the mobile data to my barber he said: “There are now more people TYPING with their THUMBS than with the normal way (all fingers).”

As of March 2011, over half of U.S. consumers carry a smartphone, and 90% of them say they use their device every single day.

Juniper Networks also reports the following interesting Smartphone user behavior and expectations: 89% of business users access critical work data from their personal mobile device; 41% business users use personal devices for work without company permission/knowledge; 30% of IT pros belong to companies that experienced security threat due to a personal mobile device; 41% of IT pros are concerned about security breaches due to lost or stolen mobile devices; there will be a 1.19 billion worldwide mobile worker population by end of 2013; 35% of the world’s workforce are expected to be mobile by the end of 2013;  and 32% of IT pros are concerned with personal mobile devices introducing malware.

At the Summit, separate sessions were conducted dealing with obesity, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Healthcare for the aging population was also a concern.

Again, I chose to tell the story by looking at the numbers as I obtained in the sessions.

Over 2/3 of Americans are overweight or obese and 79 million are pre-diabetic.

Cancer and heart disease now cause 1 out of every 2 U.S. deaths. Spending on these chronic conditions account for a staggering 75% of the $2.6 trillion annual U.S. healthcare budget.

At the current growth rates, healthcare costs will consume 1/5 of GDP by 2018 and over 1/3 by 2030.

Starbucks spends more on employee health benefits than coffee.  GM, Ford, and Chrysler spend more on employee health expenses than on the steel they use to make cars.

According to the mHealth Alliance, by 2015 there will be more people over the age of 65 than children under 5. By 2050, there will be an estimated 1.5 billion people age 65 or over.

In a survey of older people in 36 countries, 61% of older people have access to a mobile phone.

GOOD NEWS

Fortunately diabetes, obesity, hypertension and their downstream complications including cancer and heart disease are largely preventable. Studies also show that 40% of cancers (prostate, breast, lung and colon) and 75 % of all cardiovascular disease can be prevented by healthy behavior.

The Promise of mHealth

More than 4000 participants composed of “leaders in government, the private sector, industry, academia, providers and not-for-profit organizations from across the mHealth ecosystem” precisely gathered in one place to exchange data, information, knowledge, expertise as well as to demonstrate new mobile technologies with the goal of improving health outcomes worldwide.

Indeed, the use of mobile information and communication technology and applications for health is the promise of mHealth. As described by the mHealth Alliance, it “is the ability to assist in preventing the onset of debilitating, chronic diseases, and to assist in the management and treatment of existing conditions toward a society of citizens who are more productive, functional, and healthier.”

I feel proud and lucky to have participated in this large and very informative event!

TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCES IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

There are 4 major technology events occurring in one location starting on November 27, 2012 and ending on November 29, 2012.  The 4 events are: Government VIDEO EXPO 2012; GovComm12; Enterprise Architecture Conference; and GOVERNMENT INFORMATION and ANALYTICS SUMMIT. It is being held at the Washington, D.C. Convention Center.

I am covering it for the Asian Journal USA and will most likely write about most of the new multi-media technologies, both software and hardware, that will be displayed, discussed, and demonstrated in the 4 expo-conferences. These are the technologies utilized by the government agencies including the White House. In fact, as in past conferences, the White House Videographer is delivering one of the Keynote Speeches.  Hope Hall will of course, provide us attending members of the media access to some White House photos and video footages.

The Government VIDEO EXPO is a very interesting and informative event. The  usual attendees are Videographers, Producers, Editors, Graphics and effects Artists, Sound Engineers, Video Engineers, Production Managers, AV Designers, Integrators and installers, Educators and AV and IT professionals.

For the other 3 events, the attendees are mostly Contractors, AV, Media and Systems Engineers, CIOs and CTOs, Enterprise Architects, IT/Network Managers, Procurement Officers, Project and Program Managers and Business Intelligence Analysts.

The Government VIDEO EXPO provides the attendees several Conference Tracks: Final Cut Pro Workshop; Adobe After Effects Workshop; Producer/Director Workshop; Web 3.0 Social Media and Web Video; Adobe Premiere Pro Workshop; Digital Video Production; Advanced Motion Graphics and Visual FX In-Depth; and Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium Workshop.

All of them are very educational and offered for free to credentialed members of the Press like me. Time and human limitations prevent me from attending all so I will select and prioritize as always.

The other conferences offer valuable education and training as well. Topics include: Determining Streaming Bandwidth; Cybersecurity: How to Protect Your Assets; Space, Time, and Technology: The Future of AV; AV Project Management; Future Trends; Secure Remote Monitoring and Management; Information Security and Hardware Hardening for AV; and Basic Room Acoustics for Technology Managers.

Whatever I decide to attend and correspondingly absorb, I will surely share the data, information, knowledge and some of the intelligence gathered. I qualified the intelligence part because some cannot to be shared publicly.  Some are not even commercialized.
