The Remaining 49

As you can probably tell, June was a busy month and I didn’t quite make it to my 60 posts in 60 days.  Here are the remaining 49 to close out the full 60:

General subject headings tend to hide the details, but i think you can appreciate that there are any number of programs and activities in support of the Digital Economy behind each subject heading.  If we were, for example, to dig a little deeper on, say, Surface Transportation we would see a wide variety of elements supported by and supporting the Digital Economy.  Consider smart containers, Radio Frequency Identifiers, logisitics tracking systems, intelligent transportation systems , border management systems, real time route planning, traffic management systems, warehouse management and more. Of course the same exercise can be done for each of the subject headings (that’s what i had hoped to do ). So unless there is some enterprising reader out there that would like to extend and expand each of the titles, I’ll have to extrapolate and estimate that there would be well over 500 different Digital Economy impacting solutions in primary support of these business areas.  If we were to think a little more we could quickly come up with another 10 subjects to support each primary area.  I think we can all see the quick expansion of the number of areas of the economy that are digital and why I chose to drop the “digital” from the recent consultations.
