Digital Transition

Digital Transition - 2029

Many say that the digital transition that we live has date to end. 2029. I think it's because this year robots are expected to be as smart as humans, at least according to Google's director of engineering, Ray Kurzweil, who by the way is 66 years old. Even so I decided to investigate a little more. This year, which will begin on a Monday like so many others, we will have the second of the twin metronic eclipses, which happen every 19 years, when new and full moons return to the same days of the year, and as some astrologers mark a moment of changes and forces us to look ahead. It will also be the year in which the famous time capsule 'The Message from Earth' will reach its destination on planet Gliese 581c and the Nasa New Horizons spacecraft must leave the solar system. Here we will be 8,430,712,437 inhabitants. The 2004 MN4 asteroid is expected to pass scary near Earth in April with a chance to hit us from 1 to 60. John Connor must invade Skynet this year and Wolverine and Professor Xavier will be living hidden in Mexico. That was all I could find out about 2029 for now, but I suspect we'll see much more than we anticipated, as usual.

But although much commented little is really known about them and much confusion is made about it. According to the Global Unicorn Club there are now 216 unicorn companies in the world.This fact alone seems to discourage those whose dream is to create a startup and turn it into a billion dollar company. If it were an easy task I do not think they would have that name. Global Unicorn 2017 List 41% of these companies are essentially B2B and 42% are not related to any mobile or tablet app. This is another interesting point for those who believe that all unicorn companies are like Uber although this one represents almost 10% of the total value of the unicorns. But continuing. What do these companies do anyway? Ok, 16% are e-commerce companies or marketplaces but what about the rest? I discovered that 13% are fintechs and + 13% Internet Software ...

Turnover over time. What's on Google and Amazon?

Isn't that something?
