Student's Name Institutional Affiliation How can the Global Convergence of Information and Communications Technologies Work for Everyone? Today more than 1 billion people are using the internet, more than 7 billion are mobile phone subscribers, and unknown numbers of devices are intercommunicating in the vast network, which is supporting the daily activities of human beings. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that the world will experience a ubiquitous computing and every region and everybody in the world will spend most of the time in any form of a technologically augmented reality. This convergence of technology, information and minds around the world has led to the formation of new civilizations. Mobile phones have become daily companions of most people; they have a combination of a computer, camera, telephone, music player, TV, flashlight, alarm and many other more features that humans have found essential in their daily lives. According to Moore's Law, "as costs fall, and as ease of use increases, even remote and less developed areas will participate in this emerging globalization." The journey to complete the world's nervous system of globalization is still on and is picking up the base. Social networks, collaborative intelligences, and systems have emerged into new forms of transnational democracies that are addressing global issues and opportunities. This has given birth to unprecedented international conscience and action, forming a conventional management. These systems have proved to be the solutions to some issues that have gone beyond hierarchical control. The non-ownership model of open source software is slowly emerging to be the crucial element in the economic systems. Organizations have built offices and are holding meetinhs and interviews in cyberworlds to compete with the conventional reality of technology. The "big things" that have emerged from these convergences of technology and communications are the collective emergences for businesses, issues and countries which have formed new forms of organizations whose objectives are to address the problems without any form of conventional management. "Collective intelligences are continuous emerging properties are created from synergies among people, software, and information that is gotten from feedbacks to produce just-in-time knowledge for better decisions than any one of these elements acting independently. Real-time streamed communications shorten the time it takes from situational awareness to decisions. Search engines give instant access to all of the world's stored knowledge…the web is evolving from the present user-generated and participatory system into Web 3.0, a more intelligent partner that has knowledge about the meaning of today's Jeopardy-beating Watson from IBM and Apple's affectionate Siri." However, the explosive growth of the internet has created stress on the Net questioning its capacities and prompting new approaches to keep and meet the growing demand while its place in the society makes its reliability crucial. Organizations and individuals have trusted th...
