Future of Tech

As we move further into the fourth industrial revolution, the technology that is coming around the corner is sure to continue to reshape the way we live and work. Toby Eduardo Redshaw is one of the folks who believe that is true, and as the SVP of Enterprise Innovation and 5G Solutions at Verizon, he’s had a front-row seat to some of the exciting technological innovations that will soon be widespread.

Toby believes that we are in the middle of a critical time of change, experimentation, innovation and advancement. On this two-part episode of Future of Tech, he takes us through some of the areas that he sees as ripe to make the biggest impact on our lives and work moving forward. From IoT to NextGen Cloud Computing to A.I. and 5G, there are big shifts happening in the tech industry, and Toby shares that we will be seeing quite a lot of exciting digital transformations in the years to come. What is ahead for smart A.I. at the edge? How will AR and VR begin to help people with on-the-spot, real-time field training and assistance? Toby answers all of that and more, here on Part 1. Enjoy!

Main Takeaways:

• Leave a Mark: Innovating is all about having an impact. You can experiment and test as much as you want, but at the end of the day, a company is only successful if it brings something to the table that will actually help, change, or make better a part of a person’s life.
• Danger Ahead: As with any industrial revolution, there will be companies that are unable or unwilling to adapt. Those will eventually fail, while the ones that are able to innovate in practical ways will leap ahead.
• Investing in 5G: The appetite for 5G is widespread. Not only do businesses want the technology, but banks and investment firms are looking to put money into companies that are taking the move to 5G seriously. If you cannot show that you are investing in 5G, you cannot prove to investors that you are preparing for the future.
