RessourcesKnowledgeWorker – RessourcesMobilite
Dans cet article des chercheurs de Toshiba jettent un regard en arrière pour pointer les tendances et technologies qui ont marqué l’évolution du rôle du knowledge worker entre 1998 et nos jours. Ils proposent ensuite une vision anticipatrice de celui-ci jusqu’en 2008. Extraits:
« By 2008, adding a personal touch to communications will be essential: multimedia messaging, voice synthesised e-mail, video conferencing on the PC and electronic versions of handwritten notes will have become effective ways of responding quickly and spontaneously when exchanging ideas or information.
For the knowledge worker, one of the most significant transformations is the role of wireless communications. In just one decade, WLAN throughput will have jumped from 2 Mbps to 54 Mbps or more. Wearing wireless-enabled PCs, the knowledge worker will be a global communicator: sending and receiving voice, video, text and handwriting. »
Un tableau récapitulatif plutôt bien fait résume ces évolutions.
