1992: The Internet sees censorship as damage, and routes around it.
2014: The Internet sees the physical world and human relationships as data, and incorporates it.

How Mobile CAD Fits in the Fifth Wave
Extends digital workflow to new participants Keeps the process digital (more efficient) Access to data not limited by location
Wednesday, October 8, 2014
New Technologies Will Extend Mobile
Ad hoc networks like FireChat
Near Field Communications
Internet of Things

Untethered Engineering is the ability to do any design task, from any screen, in any location, at any time, with resources on demand, as part of a collaborative team.
Untethered Engineering
Wednesday, October 8, 2014
Open EngineeringThe use of augmentation technologies such as cloud, analytics, social, and mobile to accelerate design, manufacturing, and construction processes. Ideas and production are no longer kept exclusively in-house, knowledge is shared, connections extended, and optimum solutions bloom from collaborative efforts involving talented sources across nations.
Web-based design communities
New web-based tools for analysis, simulation, and rendering
Shared knowledge
Crowdsourcing
Real-time interaction for the entire team
Visualization as an upfront technology, not as a one-off
Customers are collaborators, clients as partners
Wednesday, October 8, 2014
The GoalIntegrate the digital into every step
of the design/engineer/build/deploy construction or manufacturing process.

Design and engineering status quo is rooted in desktop processes, central storage, hierarchical workflows and data access.
Existing changes have done little to reinvent design processes. It is a case of paper on glass: processes originally done at a desk on paper are now done at a desk on a computer.
Cloud offers virtualization, which re-allocates computer resources so that many servers run one task, or one server runs many tasks in parallel. The result is delivery of custom computing experiences on-demand. The expense of owning and operating a high-performance computing environment can become an occasional rental. Computation and storage become utilities, available for use on demand.
In the new on-demand (CAMS) computing era, analytics means data moves from being in a vault to being a river. Data is mobile and fluid, increasing its utility.
Mobile technology challenges the notion of hierarchical workflow based on serial tasks and local computation and storage.
Social technology turns informal information into usable data. Conversations become a strategic asset.
The centralization of human and computer resources is a vestigial artifact of a bygone era. Untethered design transforms a closed process into an open one. The benefits include rapid iteration, access to talent, lower development costs, increased quality, and greater insight into processes.
