I met a startup a few years ago that had digital paper - it looked and felt like real paper, wrote/erased like real paper - and it was instantly digital! This is the kind of sustainable innovations we need. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

We should look at this from another perspective - how do we ensure better and sustainable equity amongst our citizens? What should we do alongside so that lifestyles eliminated by technology are re-trained for new roles. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

Coming from a software background where old code continues to pile up as new code is added, old laws have the same challenge. For example, there's an old Oregon law that prohibits coasting downhill in neutral gear! 😀 @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

This is probably one of the best quips I've heard in a long while - absolutely made my day!! :)

Q4: Adding the sustainability dimension to our now intrinsic productivity measures (as suggested by co-panelists) to use technologies into more sustainable processes and lifestyles. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

Q4: Home and Office was prevalent, Home-Office the exception. COVID-19 almost instantly transformed to Office-Home. Smarter cities can decompress the stressed infrastructure. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

Q4: Past history of growth from villages to towns to cities around fresh water supply has led to urban congestion and suburban sprawl. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

Q4: Our economic system is designed to reward improved productivity, we need to add the sustainability dimension. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

Q4: In addition, there is a ton of energy within the planet's core that is marginally tapped by few. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

Q4: Our planet has received a consistent 24x7 energy supply from the sun, it will certainly continue to do so for a few more millennia. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

Excellent question. Trust is a dual-edged blade. We need to build technology based on a successful past of cognitive evolution. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

We seem to be fascinated by cameras, they are appropriate for many use cases. There are other equally or more powerful technologies to solve many of the use cases without generating concerns.

Q3: 5G, Edge, AI and IoT technologies are perfect triad to transform these programs into much safer neighborhoods and cities, even improve sustainability. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

Q3: Citizens and public safety agencies have collaborated in the past via Neighborhood Watch programs to be lots of additional eyes and ears for the officials. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

Q3: Governments are criticized for inadequacy, yet even agency employeers are citizens too and impacted by the same safety concerns at personal level. Some cities are adopting and accelerating mixed use zones that encourage footfalls anytime. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

Safety is every citizen's concern, often some neighborhoods evolve to be safer at the cost of others in the city. American urban downtowns are a classic example where crime increases at night. European cities are mixed use neighborhoods. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

I would extend that: satellites will decongest cities into more sustainable lifestyles @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

Q2A2: 5G, Edge and AI are the trifecta that alleviates the sensory overload into contextual and meaningful information or even prioritized actions to make those important decisions or take those actions. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

Q2A1: The number of sensors introduced by IoT is growing exponentially, increasing data flow until it overloads one into either inaction, ignore it or make hasty decisions. Especially when some situations require better and faster real-time response. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights

Agree, there are valuable takeaways from the disruptive transformations led by Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Netflix, etc. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights
