Cultural Assets

Your cultural knowlege of "who" and "what" you know matters. Because they form your cultural assets

Who you know and What you know and how you know how to utilize them generates your Economic assets. 

This includes your ability  to interact and make friends, know of markets to serve, skills in talking with right words, in right accents about the right things; and reference to books, movies, musics and ultimately the way human do things.

Moreso, who you know is social asset too. Who you know plays a stronger role on the course of your lifetime in how much you own too. 

This works because politicians recruit majorly, their associates and allies to support them in Administration.

However, what is okay for one person may not be so for another. If you want to be an affluent urban intellectual hipster, the cultural assets you need to accumulate must be different, from the person pursing acceptance in a noisy event.

The Seventh Generation of Computers

After the sixth generation of computers, which focuses on artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and nanotechnology, the next generation will likely explore seventh-generation computers or beyond. These might include: 1. Quantum Computing at Scale Fully functional and accessible quantum computers capable of solving complex problems exponentially faster than current computers. 2 . Bio-Computing Computers that integrate biological components, such as DNA-based processors or neural tissue, mimicking human brain functionality. 3. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Computers that exhibit human-like cognitive abilities, understanding, learning, and reasoning in a general, adaptable way. 4. Neural Interfaces Direct brain-to-computer communication, allowing seamless interaction with technology using thoughts alone. 5. Molecular and Optical Computing Advanced technologies using light (photons) or molecules for faster, energy-efficient processing. 6. Self-Evolving Systems Machines t...

Subcategory Competition could help firms deliver high sales; think Chobani!

In the future, branding and business in general is going to involve more subcategory creation and competition and less “my brand is better than your brand” competition. This is because, with rare exemptions, that is the only way to achieve real profitable growth. In category after category, real growth results not from market share increases, but from brands that have created a set of “must haves” that define a new subcategory and then manage that subcategory by becoming its exemplar. These brands continue to innovate and create a moving target. By managing the perceptions and attitudes toward the subcategory, the subcategory wins. I’ve previously discussed in my blog and my book, Brand Relevance a host of examples of brands that have created subcategories and won a subcategory battle.
