Cross Roads

There are a few ideas that are going to merge in the creation of new modes of transport. For now we will call them transpods. Firstly, the rate at which populations are growing and the pace at which vehicles are being rolled out are at odds. The creation of alternatives such as rail in places like China that are combining sheer mileage with speed are also still insufficient to deal with the numbers that are confronting us. This calls for a capping in the numbers that are on the street in form if personal vehicles and the emergence of an integrated system that is both personal and universal. The best example of this kind of system is found in Amazon. If you do a search on Amazon Warehouse Robots, you will see what we mean. The second idea that this pushes is the idea that the transportation system of the future has almost no human being in sight everything about this system is entirely computerized and automated.  The robot systems function in a independent sense and have an awareness o

There is now one week and one day between the DigitalDataDay organized for Oracle Enthusiasts. A a recap of the news in the local dailies reveals some theft at a local news station called the Observer.  I cannot help but wonder what kind of tools they chose to use for defence of their data and if they had any members in attendance. One of the questions that was presented to the team at the tail end of the workshop was about the versatility of Oracle Clouds and the possibilities that exist for virtual lans and virtual networks. The question was also about the ability to deploy these systems in addition to thin clients and servers where for example host clients were deliberately trying to keep their systems leaner (as a cost measure). You could say it was an effort to make the case for virtualization. Would Observer had less to fear if for example there was a server client system in place and virtual cloud to put the burden of security and hardware onto Oracle. Allowing much more
