Are you irritated
by Apps automatically updating and consuming your battery power by themselves on your smart
phone? It might happen next generation mobile device infrastructure solves this
problem. Remember Apps are installed on your mobile device, like old fashion software
application.
1990’s
Some 20
years ago one bought application in the shop, received a CD and user manual and
installed the software from the CD. The processor power was your computer or
local network server.
2000’s
Then the
web application hosted in the cloud took over and no need to install anything
on the computer any longer. You needed only a web access and browser, the processor power
was on the hosting server in the cloud.
2010’s
But when
Apple launched App Store we went back to old days thinking, installing
application on your device, using processor power on your mobile device. The
apps need to be updated with last versions from time to time.
2020’s
Next move
seems to be back in the cloud, also for mobile devices. Social media like
Facebook and WeChat is more and more depending on text message infrastructure
like the Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp (more than a trillion monthly active
users). As Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook told us 12th April, the next
step is to add robotics on top of the text message infrastructure. Bots is
short for robotics. Bots are usually powered by artificial intelligence that “understands”
a text message. Bots are stored on cloud servers, NOT in your mobile device.
And it uses a new business model, based on micro payment. Bots are MUCH
faster than Apps, and have processor power thousands times of average Apps on a
mobile device. This enables bots to analyze and make decisions for you on a
more advanced level than an App.
If you want
move money from one bank account to another, send a message to your
bank “transfer 100 € from my main account to my saving account”. Or “pay Peter
Pan 100 € tomorrow”. There are some security issues of cause, but this will be
solved.
If you need
a flight ticket send a text message to SAS “Book a flight next Monday around
10.00 from Copenhagen to Stockholm.” The
artificial Intelligence logic inside the bots choose what’s best for you and
know your preferences, might have access
to your calendar, and the people you are supposed to meet. This takes you a few
seconds, compared minutes to using the web or App today. And you will trust the bots to do excellent decisions on your behalf.
