In order for analytic platforms to respond in synaptic speed both
structured and unstructured data will need to be available in microseconds
VR, MR, AI and some ML will need very fast access to data and queriesIn order to generate interactive responses. It is very early days in many of these Platforms (V0.n).
Examples abound where faster query speed will change the game :-
• GPS• Locale based Marketing & Advertising • IOT solutions like Sidewalk Labs / Soofa.co et al (e.g. Public data ownership)• Indexing /query speed on images, video, audio, PowerPoint and so on
Many (older) companies have not yet become consumer oriented/obsessed andThey will continue to be beaten by the new generation of AI and ML companies
Who can act at the speed of thought!
