“A Real Digital Infrastructure at Last”
Short, to the point, and worth reading if you can grab it. Beyond the quote below, due to the impact of this crisis, some of the things he mentioned are emerging now and give us a glimpse into the future if we are willing to allow them to propel us forward. All are being enabled by a growing digital infrastructure.
He summarized the widest impact like this:
“Finally, the country is long overdue for a real digital infrastructure. Government at every level should move to cloud, mobile and web-based software and start treating data as a strategic asset. It’s now painfully obvious that these tools are essential for effective action. Moreover, the American people will need that infrastructure for their daily lives. If we are to build a future economy and education system based on tele-everything, we need a fully connected population and ultrafast infrastructure. The government must make a massive investment—perhaps as part of a stimulus package—to convert the nation’s digital infrastructure to cloud-based platforms and link them with a 5G network.”
