Disembodied Globalization: The end point of technology impact of social interaction

The word "Disembodied" has been refered to as something that is separated or disconnected from its physical body or form. 

It can be used to describe a state where the mind or consciousness exists independently of a physical presence.

Disembodied globalization is not a widely recognized term, but it could be interpreted as the idea that globalization, which often involves the exchange of information, ideas, and goods across borders, can occur without a physical presence or without being tied to a specific location. 

It might imply a form of globalization that transcends physical boundaries and relies heavily on digital communication, virtual networks, and global interconnectedness.

Human beings are more connected than with the forces of internet of everything. This connectivity is done without physical touch, but virtual networks. 

We share audios, videos, texts and images near and far. We like, comment, react and share. We create, join and attend meetings and classes. We buy and pay without touching our students,  customers, clients, teachers, pastors etc.

Disembodied globalization may mark the end point of technological impact on social life.

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. The Chrysler minivan, Asahi Super Dry, Enterprise-Rent-a-Car, Muji (the no- brand retailer), Patagonia, Zipcar, Tesla, Red Bull, IKEA, Gillette razors in India, the list goes on a...
