The highlight of #SamsungUnpacked is the new #S22Series from @SamsungMobileSA which brings together the best of the S series and the best of the Note series in one device...and at first glance looking like their most ambitious device to date.

[FutureFocus IT Insight @FutureFocusITI]

After two years of doing virtual Unpacked sessions @SamsungMobileSA is back with a bang at tonight's #SamsungUnpacked. Most ebullient and hopefully event I have been to in a long time, and the company pulled out all the stops

It looks like you can still jump into the #DellTechForum happening now from @DellTechZA and @intel. I just checked and it looks like registrations for the event are still being allowed - https://t.co/q0qRIvsI2F

@clarepetra I don’t think it is necessarily true that SA banks are all comparatively bad.. some definitely appear to be worse than others generally. Though there are also good & bad branches. Thing I really like about @AbsaSouthAfrica is the last time I had to go into a branch was 2 hrs ago

[FutureFocus IT Insight @FutureFocusITI]

@clarepetra I have only had good experiences with Absa, whereas I have a relative with Standard Bank who has problem after problem after problem.....ongoingly. Still trying to convince them to take the plunge and just switch over...

[FutureFocus IT Insight @FutureFocusITI]

@BrendonInCT Likewise, couldn’t stay on it for more than a couple of minutes..

[FutureFocus IT Insight @FutureFocusITI]

@clarepetra @SamsungMobileSA I'm betting it is the next foldable....just judging by that subtle effect at the end of the trailer :)

[FutureFocus IT Insight @FutureFocusITI]

@clry2 The biggest problem as I see it is not the rollout or adoption of the tech as you are describing it but convincing people to change their habits and attitudes. Many countries are being besieged by the pandemic because their people can’t or won’t adapt to the reality they face

5G networks are going to start to ramp up - the next connected digital fabric that will enable us to connect people and things like never before, explains GregMcDonald @DellTechZA #DelltechZA TechByte

[FutureFocus IT Insight @FutureFocusITI]

8 in 10 of businesses have fast tracked their digital transformation, more than ever before - The 4th Industrial Revolution is here now because of the acceleration, says Greg McDonald @delltechza #DelltechZA TechByte

[FutureFocus IT Insight @FutureFocusITI]

We must try and find ways to create serendipity in our relationships, since that is where new ideas and inspiration are born - we have to connect with more people on more levels - @bronwynwilliams @DellTechZA #DelltechZA TechByte

[FutureFocus IT Insight @FutureFocusITI]

This woman is brilliant ! @bronwynwilliams is the person I would most like to have at a dinner party (when we can have those again) for fascinating conversations #delltechza TechByte @DellTechZA

[FutureFocus IT Insight @FutureFocusITI]

The important thing to watch out for with remote working is mental wellness, with people even needing touch for the health of their immune system says @bronwynwilliams @DellTechZA #DellTechZA TechByte

[FutureFocus IT Insight @FutureFocusITI]

Trust is integral to the effectiveness of remote working and having a remote workforce notes @bronwynwilliams - countries and companies that have high degrees of social trust do much better than those that do not @DellTechZA #DellTechZA

[FutureFocus IT Insight @FutureFocusITI]

Bottom line is that we as individuals need to think laterally, and to find the opportunities that are also present amid constraints @bronwynwilliams @DellTechZA #DellTechZA TechByte

[FutureFocus IT Insight @FutureFocusITI]

Constraints like we are experiencing now can lead to creative inspiration too explains @bronwynwilliams For example, want to rent a goat to liven up your staid Zoom meetings? A petting zoo is enabling that. @DelltechZA #DellTechZA TechByte

[FutureFocus IT Insight @FutureFocusITI]

Futurist Bronwyn Williams is the keynote speaker at @DellTechZA TechByte today, speaking about this incredible time of disruption, what is being called The Great Reset. In other words, we are living through a watershed.

Healthcare and industry have both been forced to accelerate their digital their transformation. The pandemic has spurred on innovation too, like drones planting 300 000 seeds, notes Secil Seyfe @DellTechZA TechByte
