The ICT Convergence

So after several years of talking, the industry is now walking the talk. The ICT convergence is set on full swing and a formal competition is also launched. Apple iPhone set a trend bringing in an instrument that exhibits potential to be the device of the future. And with Google & Amazon joining hands for the next one, threatening Apple's leadership in music industry along with, this competition is bound to become an interesting one.

When the most creative and risk-taking minds of the globe compete with each other, lets hope that our quest for the holy grail will become a reality soon. At some point we will have a device that can do/be: lock/open doors of homes/cars, toll/metro pass, camera/music/photos/games, internet/email/IM/video-conf, ration cards/passport/voter ID/driver license, remote control for TVs, TV/digi-movie screen, debit/credit cards..... I dont think I am dreaming too much. Most of this is already available in instruments today.. the SIM will be the alternate-blood of our life.

May we live in interesting times.
