Digital Everywhere

The mobile apps got here 3-4 years ago when I benefited from a better app from the airlines and hotels.  But, what about becoming digital?

We see it now with mobile checkin, mobile wallets and MFS (http://www.millicom.com/what-we-do/mobile-financial-services/).  And, of course, the Apple and AT&T experience where the clunky POS is long gone.  Yes, Apple Pay has now made payments digital.

The next frontier is the Connected Car, Digital Home and IoT (though aren't the first two examples of IoT?). These are cool technologies (Zetta from Apigee is unique amongst many but I may be biased):


But, they are building blocks!!!

Digital starts showing up when external 'apps' start working  with my ecosystem to help me


Now, we can see how the world will change and it won't be because of the 'app' in your pocket!!

I asked a fellow ToastMaster if  making masks at home  and donating them would be of value since they are  not N95 . More on that late...
