The product is the tool for making business and without a product is no business.

 

All companies must have a product that they sell. Without product is no business. For businesses, the product is the tool that should bring money to the company. Without a product is no incoming money. The reason for that is that the product is the thing that brings customers. And customers are people who are giving money to the company to get products that the company will offer. 

When a person becomes an entrepreneur that person must realize that money that customers are bringing to the company is not a gift. Customers want those products. And if the product doesn't please them, they will choose some other deliverer for those things. 

Somebody says that products are unequal. Because companies want that people buy new products in the next year. That thing is an urban legend. But the fact is that the product is the base for business. And without product is no business. When everybody buys some product that thing brings it to every pocket. And finally, there is no sale anymore. And if the company is not selling products, that thing causes bankruptcy. 

So, if the company doesn't make new products, that thing causes problems. When some company offers computer games or mobile games, they must realize billions of users might load that game. But then everybody has that game, and why do they want to pay the same license again and again? Those users don't want to gift their money to the company. They want the product for their money. That's why the company must develop new products. 

So it's easier to make an unequal product that is easy to refine, and people are willing to buy the better product next year. If we think about cell phones it's easy to make a phone with a 60 Gb flash memory store. And then the next year company can make the same cell phone with a 120 Gb flash memory store. That thing saves the company from the costs of development. This thing is one of the most interesting things in products.

We must realize that technology turns more advanced. And advanced technology brings new abilities and advances in products. The new products are more tested and more secure than old fashion products. The fast-advancing ICT sector is a good example of an area where is no perfect product. And even the most-perfect products turn old-fashion very fast. 

But what if companies are making only perfect products? At this point, I must say that there is no perfect product. And sooner or later, even the best products turn old. When we think about the oldest mobile telephones the entire telephone turns old-fashion. 

The products are made a little bit worse than they could be. And that thing guarantees that people buy it next year. Maybe that thing is somehow right. But the product must give a response to the new type of threats, and it must follow standards. The information technology world is a race between hackers and defenders. 

When password protection became standard, the hackers turned to use social hacking like cheating the workers. They asked the passwords and misuse the data systems. So biometric recognition removed that problem. Maybe tomorrow we must use the password only once. That "once" is when we started to use internet accounts. 

And then, we will continue to use biometric recognition. The web camera can follow the user, and if the user changes during the use and continues to use the same account the system can tell supervisors that some wrong person uses someone else's account. 

Old-fashion mobile telephones are the risk. In old Android telephones, thieves must only remove SIM cards. If they want to get access to social media applications. If the phone itself is password protected, that gives better security. But there is the possibility that a misuser blackmails or cheats the password. So the next step is biometric recognition. The fingerprint makes it impossible to misuse the system. Or the misuser must be a registered user. 

This kind of system is telling if some other person will try to use the account without permission. The information of the attempt to log in to the system will be seen on the mobile telephone if the user uses a two-stage login. 

When people are not using old technology enough the network operators will remove the support from those phones. And the reason for that is the costs of the networks. When the operator maintains the network that thing causes costs. 

If there are no users, the costs will raise too high. Maintaining old-fashion systems costs money. And that money is away from some other projects. 

The reason why the networks developed all the time is that modern systems are bringing security. The new type of environment requires secured networks. And that thing must notice in the business and governments. When the Internet developed people trusted that governments are removing things like disinformation and other things from the net. 

But Putin's trolls, along with Chinese hackers, are shown that some governments are not trusted. When we are talking about "trust" trust is the thing that is always earned. Trust is not the thing that is just the world. 

When some of Putin's trolls are delivering disinformation or Chinese hackers will crack the systems people must realize that those actors are working for their governments. They ever are punished. This is why we must concern about the misuse of the internet. The new products must be safer, and we must prepare things like somebody misses a mobile telephone.

A metaverse is a fascinating tool that will revolutionize the business environment.



Innovation is the key element in the modern business environment. The metaverse is the place where the company can test its products without making physical models. 

The idea of the metaverse comes from the interface that can move the cursor that is visible on the screen. The idea is that the camera follows the laser point on the projected screen. And then that camera sends the information where the laser point is to the computer. When the person pushes the left button the will flash the laser. And the right button will flash another laser ray. That emulates the push of the right button. 

The camera will send information about those flashes to the computer. The same technology can work with HUD classes. The system must just be known what point of the image is in the certain point of HUD classes. The simplest way to make that thing is to use the camera that is inside the HUD classes. And then, the user can point the laser point to the wall. 

In the places like playing computer games or in aircraft where a static screen is in front of the operator can just turn their head and point the laser pointer at the right point of the screen. The WEB camera at the front of the operator sees when that person blinks their eyes. And that thing is translated as the push of the mouse buttons. 

When somebody creates things like the metaverse there must be some kind of motivation for that thing. The metaverse could be an ultimate platform that can use for multiple things. 




Mixed reality is the ability to interconnect the senses of robots to the VR systems. Metaverse is forming of stable and shared 3D virtual spaces. But the fact is that those virtual spaces can involve elements from real life. That means robots that are operating outside can send their sensory data to the walls of those virtual spaces. 

Or there could be an image of a virtual computer that screen connected to the network surveillance cameras. When a user travels in those virtual spaces by using an avatar or virtual body, that person can fly in that virtual environment. The virtual body can connect to the hologram and small drone that can give the image that makes the person the bird-perspective view and turns the user into a virtual superman. 

If there is a camera system. That follows the hologram. And a person uses systems that give the synthetic feel that thing can make those holograms ultra-realistic touch. When a hologram touches a wall or another hologram that system gives a feel of touch. The system requires four cameras that are around the hologram and interconnected with the server. 

Above the Compiz Fusion that user interface might seem cool in VR glasses, and maybe metaverse would look a little bit like this. The user flies in there and opens virtual screens. The person can make many things that are impossible in real life. If the metaverse is connected with clothes that are giving the synthetic feel of touch. That thing turns into another reality. 

Metaverse means one version of so-called mixed reality. That thing means the virtual reality that connects elements from the virtual and real environments. And that platform is the tool that can make it possible to put architectural plans in a position where they would be in real life. 

So people can see what the house looks like when it is ready. But metaverse can also make it possible to make new kinds of network business. When somebody buys clothes the system must just scan the person. 




That scanning can make by using a mobile telephone or drone that measures a person. The reason why the scanner system is somehow hard to use is that the trajectory of the drone or scanner must be stable. When the system finds what the person looks like. 

It can show the virtual image of how clothes fit the person. When the person buys shoes the only needed thing is to put the feet on the paper where are squares and the AI selects the right stuff from the warehouse. AI can be better for that thing than humans are. 

But the thing is that the metaverse is like the  2nd. life or some kind of game. There the businessmen can meet each other. That thing allows companies to make more and more customized products. 

In the metaverse, they can see immediately. What products that they are willing to buy fit in their environment? As an example, customers can scan their living rooms and see what the furniture looks like before they buy those products. 

When we are thinking metaverse as a possibility we must realize that it can offer a new type of virtual matrix for business. That virtual matrix is a virtual shopping center where people can see what things. That they will buy look like. But the metaverse offers possibilities far more than just to the business. It can revolutionize entertainment, social media, and science. 

By using the metaverse, the operators can drive miniature robots inside human bodies. It can use for controlling robots far away from the user. The metaverse is one of the most brilliant places where people can test their products and their abilities.

We are living in an interesting but also the most challenging time in history.



The "black swan" thing is possible but extremely uncommon. When we are thinking about the changes in the environment we are facing the most interesting and at the same time the most challenging era in the history of humans and society. The internet is allowing us to share things very fast. And this thing is challenging because we must always be careful what we are doing.  We must handle many things that were not even possible a short time ago. 

The frame of the modern environment and the challenges that society is facing is climate chancing. But things like pandemics and the new weapon race and new members of the club of nuclear-armed states are making the environment more complicated than ever before. Things like hackers are also operating in the modern environment. And the new thing in hacking is that modern hackers are working under the control of the governments. 

That means that in the modern world of intelligence the agent is just bringing the computer to the country. And the hacker will use that computer by using the remote control from the homeland. That thing allows that the hacker can operate behind the firewalls. And nobody would ever punish that person because the hacker is working for some intelligence agency. 

Authorities should predict the use of hacking as spies. Because the internet is a good platform for that kind of operation. But for some unknown reason, nobody made anything to stop or denying that thing. The authorities trusted that the Chinese will punish the hackers who attacked western high-tech companies. 

Nobody predicted that behind those cyber attacks was the Chinese government. And that means hackers will never get punishments. And the reason for that is they worked for the military intelligence of PLA (People's Liberation Army). 


When we are thinking about the changes in the world we can see two megatrends in the environment. 


1) The network-based applications


The networks have a key role in the successful business. And the biggest opportunity is also the biggest threat. Social media is a good place for marketing because its a cheap and effective environment for P2P marketing. 

In that platform, people can share links to the homepages of the company. But the problem is that if everything is not what it seems. That kind of thing is also uncovering. So the facades are not enough. The entirety must be good. 

Public opinion has a great effect on the success of the company. The politicians who are making laws are dependant on popularity. When people don't like the politicians they are switching them in the next elections. And politicians are making laws. But even if the company is not breaking laws.

2) The new business areas. 

The entire new industrial areas are coming. Those areas are things that seemed science fiction a short time ago. The most well-known thing that we are seeing is space tourism. In the beginning, space tourists are paying millions for their flights. But when the spacecraft is turning more common. 

That thing means that also regular people can go to space. The problem with space tourism is that the same systems can use also for military purposes. And the small-size space shuttles are suitable also for ASAT operations. The same systems that are taking people to the same can easily equip with microwave transmitters. 

That can destroy the satellites very easily. And this technology makes it possible that the nations like Brazil and Iran can make their own ASAT programs by benefiting from the technology that is made for commercial space tourism.   

The most chancing thing in the world is the ICT industry. The main role in the ICT business is turning from individual computers and local programs to network-based solutions. That means the complicated applications can use straight in the network by using the browser. So the end-user needs only the web browser for using solutions. Those are operating on the server over the network. 

The biggest advantage in the ICT industry is PHP (Hypertext Preprocess). That thing allows outsourcing the drive of the program code to the servers. And this makes mobile solutions possible. The heavy and complicated programs can drive on the servers in the data center. And that means the most complicated algorithms can drive over the internet by using mobile systems. 


Outsourcing heavy data handling to the computer centers means that the small robots can operate almost independently. The data handling capacity of the robots is always limited. But over the internet, that system can outsource the most complicated calculations and algorithms to the data centers where the supercomputers are handling those things. 

And quantum computers are bringing new visions. The quantum computer-based architecture means that the enormous calculating power of quantum computers can benefit the network. So by using the internet every people in the world can use the quantum computer from their desk or by mobile application. Remote use of quantum computers brings them in every pocket. The data is driven to a quantum system by using regular binary computers. 

End-user cannot see the thing that is making the solution. So the point of view of the user doesn't see the thing that is handling data. That thing is similar to the mobile system. Most of the data handling work is done by using supercomputers that are deep underground. That means the quantum computer is the next step in the continuum of remote data handling. 


But the internet is a challenging operating environment. 


Things like pollution and other things like slave workers can destroy the reputation of the company. Even if those things happen a long way from home. The ethical things in the production are turning more important than ever before. 

The fast-changing world is putting challenges for research and predictions. The unexpected things are making preparing for the future harder than before. When we are trying to predict what happens in the future we are turning into an environmental situation where we have so many variables. 

We cannot handle all billions of variables in the environment. And that means. We cannot make precise predictions for things that are coming in front of us in the future. In the modern world, information is traveling faster than anytime before. In the modern world is not so small actor that it cannot have an effect. Even the smallest actors can make huge damages if they can prove their words. And that thing means that only facades are not enough. 

When we are thinking purely about the modern business infrastructure we are facing the thing that we are facing new types of threats. But at the same time, those threats are big opportunities. A new type of business is coming. Network-based marketing in social media by using hybrid platforms are the things that are bringing a large audience for the smallest start-ups. Hybrid marketing means that the companies are using their homepages. The marketing staff is sharing links in the social network to their homepages. But then we are facing another problem. 

When we are talking about marketing we must ask: "how we make sure that we separate commercials and so-called "neutral information"? The thing is that the use of social media for wrong purposes is always possible. 

And social media is a good place for sharing "clean data". That term means that all negative things are removed from the data. When we are thinking about the neutrality of information. We must understand that in all things that we are facing in the real world has both good and bad side. So no case is not purely positive or negative.

More worlds about censorship and moderation.


https://vapaaverkkojulkaiseminen.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

In the world is two kinds of censorship. Another is governmental, and it has one benefit for the other censorship. That thing is this kind of censorship exists, and the line of that kind of authority is always similar. The use of that thing is crushing the opposition. That thing denies the publications of the opposition. And everybody who would not please the censors would be deleted in the public media.


But another censorship is the private censor, what is known as "moderator". The moderation has always explained the need of denying aggressive and illegal writings and other kind publications from the Internet. The moderation can also use for the advantage of the political or financial objectives. In the worst case, the political or financial actor would bribe the moderators of some social network for removing the competitor's websites and publications. That kind of thing could cause very big losses for that company. And I don't know have somebody got prosecutions about that kind of moderation.


Also, those moderators would operate on their own idea. There are a couple of cases, where the moderators have left the very bad looking messages in the public media. That has happened in the television text programs and the Internet. In the worst case, the friends of the moderators have allowed publishing their very frighten and racist messages, but those moderators have not reacted that thing. All their time left for deleting some ordinary person's messages.


This would be the very interesting thing because the moderator can be profiled by using the messages, what this person would let thru the censorship. And the messages, what this person would delete tells what kind of people does this person don't want to see. If there is only one person, whose messages would be deleted some law enforcement would read the papers of the moderator and the target. And then they come to visit to meet those persons, and they would find out, what is the reason for the hate. And if the censorship is targeted at some firm, the reason for that would be found in the money transfer to the bank accounts. If somebody would pay the moderation,  that would mean prosecution in the criminal prosecution process.

What if the customer would take a part in the developing process?


Picture I

http://kimmontaidearvioita.blogspot.com/p/what-if-customer-would-take-part-in.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The co-development means that the deliverer or offender of the product would work together in the development process. The way of thinking that way would mean, that there would be no borders for the feedback, and sharing the information of the problems would be easier. The problems with the multi-level planning of the production are that the information of the problems would not enter to the ears of traditional companies. The co-developing is not the leaders or directors, this model happens in the workshops were the persons, who would take the part of the process can talk freely, and that would support the innovation.


Of course, there are limits in that kind of developing process, and one of them is financing. and of course in the company is the leaders. But in the developing process, the major role in the process is the network type working, where everybody has the chance to influent the process. The network-type information system allows free innovation, but of course, there is one thing, what must be noticed in this process.


The introvert persons must also take a part in the talking about the production, and those persons must be heard. Co-developing process is very interesting, and the answer to the question: why the company should choose this kind of method in the production and developing new products is, that in those models the developing team would get every information for their work, and the customer can also bring their own experts in this kind of team.


Co-developing means the real P2P model development for the products. This would revolutionize the borders between the manufacturer, deliver and the customer. And the feedback would be given during the process, that the development team can fix the errors during the process, and that would eliminate errors in the final product.


But the success of that project would need the good knowledge of the product. And of course, the chemistry between the members of the team must work very good. The persons who are working this way must have good social skills, and they must know, that every member of the team is important. No firms would hire persons, who would bring nothing in their projects, because those persons must get their salaries. And that's why they must have listened in the process. The people must realize that there would be no engineer, who would have nothing to do in the company.


Those people are expensive, and that's why there must be something to do, where the engineers are needed. In those projects must first collect every needed information, and then make the analysis of the need for the new product. And in this analysis must be seen, what is the trouble in the product, and could it replace by giving their new cores, if the product is the mobile telephone or some tool, what would need to use with gloves. That new cores or size would make them easier to hand with gloves. But there is no need to invent the wheel again. The old products might have many parts, what would operate in the new size product. And that would make the developing process cheaper and easier than starting to make brand new concepts.

About innovation and how it can be destroyed



Kimmo Huosionmaa

Money is a good thing, but if you want to destroy innovation, you must do one bad decision. That is giving money to the team little bit too early. If a team is not ready for innovation and it inner pierces are not playing on the same team, the innovation in the team might die. If team members must race against together they will destroy all company or proto company. When the young person establishes new company they must realize that the investors are not angels. They don't give money for free. They want their investments back with heels. And when team collects new money, they must first make the product ready. After that, they can introduce that thing to investors.


The team is the most important thing in the innovation process, and a key element is that team members must trust each other. If they must be afraid to talk freely, without fear kickoffs, the team will work better than if somebody must afraid that he or she will kick off. If some member of the team will always yell to others and behaves like an asshole, that will poison all atmosphere of that team. The most vulnerable thing for team spirit is a person who plays something that he or she is not.


Another way to destroy innovation is that some member of the team will know that he or she will kick off in some day. When we remember that team spirit is very important for innovation, what kind of motivation will have a member who is totally out of the team? Does that person gives his or her full attention and does he or she deliver own ideas to others. I think that answer is “no", and that person probably does not even talk to other personnel of the group. Most of that person’s time goes with making new CV and job application for next job interview. That will not rise that kind of workers work spirit.


But why giving money too early makes bad things for innovation? When somebody is giving money for something that makes target society a firm. In the firm innovation is not free, because customers want profits. And if the product is not ready, that will cause stress for the members of a team. And if the customer or business angel gives money will that person cause race situation inside that group, because everybody wants money and profits from their product. When somebody wants to invest money to some company or product he or she wants to get outcomes from his or her investment.


So when business angel wants 20% profit that person wants 1,20 euros for every euro what that person gives to the company. And that makes stress to the team because they must have something to show on deadline. And that "something" must be something, what gives money to that person. If money doesn't come, that "angel" will get the team to court and begins debt collection, and that is a very unhappy situation for everybody.

Miksi joku ihminen ylivelkaantuu? Odottaako hän kenties lainaa hakiessaan saavansa jonkun yllättävän summan rahaa jostain?


Aina välillä vastaan tulee tapauksia, missä ihminen on ylivelkaantunut ikään kuin tyhmien lainojen takia. Ja silloin tietenkin pitää kysyä sellainen kysymys, että miten sellaiselle ihmiselle, joka ei edes ulkonäöllisesti vakuuta myönnetään lainoja? Eli mitä esimerkiksi lainan myöntäjä tai takaaja oikeastaan on ajatellut, kun hän on lähtenyt takaamaan tai myöntämään lainaa henkilölle, joka haisee jo lainan hakuvaiheessa viinalle ja on pukeutunut johonkin likaiseen vaatekertaan, joka on ilmeisesti ollut pitkään pesun tarpeessa. Kun tuollainen ilmiselvä laitapuolen kulkija astuu pankkiin, niin silloin pitäisi kyllä vakuudet selvittää erittäin huolellisesti, ja samalla myös ottaa henkilön silloinen tilanne huomioon.

Eli tällaisessa tapauksessa missä ilmiselvästi päihteiden väärinkäyttäjä hakee lainaa, pitäisi vastauksen olla ehdottomasti kielteinen, koska silloin tietenkin on suuri vaara siitä, että laina jää hoitamatta. Kuitenkin joissakin tapauksissa aivan selvästi normaalissa elämäntilanteessa oleva ihminen hakee suurta luottoa jotain liiketoimia varten, ja sitten käy kuten jossain huonossa elokuvassa, eli tuolta henkilöltä lähtee sitten kaikki alta. Noissa tapauksissa missä raitis ihminen hakee luottoa, ja sitten hän ei sitä kykene hoitamaan on tilanne hiukan mutkikkaampi kuin jonkun alkoholistin kohdalla. Alkoholisti kykenee aina väittämään hakevansa lainaa viinaan, ja että siinä ryhmässä tyhmyys tiivistyy.

Mutta kun normaali ihminen sitten tekee sellaisen tempun, että hän ottaa suuren luoton, ja sitten ei sitä voi maksaa, niin silloin kyllä pitää kysyä, että odottiko tuo henkilö sitten jostain jotain, mikä toisi hänelle suuria tuloja? Eli haettiinko tuota luottoa sitten jotain liiketoimia varten, jotka menivät pieleen, ja sitten tuo onneton jää yksin vastaamaan kaikesta? Ja oliko tuo velka tehty kommandiittiyhtiön kautta. Kommandiittiyhtiö on sellainen yhtiömuoto, missä on kaksi vastuunalaista yhtiömiestä ja yksi äänetön yhtiömies, joka ei vastaa omaisuudellaan tuon yhtiön tekemistä tappioista.

Kommandiitti- ja avoin yhtiö ovat sellaisia, että niissä vastuunalaiset yhtiömiehet joutuvat omalla omaisuudellaan vastuussa yhtiöön tekemistä veloista, ja noista yhtiömuodoista varoitetaan jatkuvasti, koska jos toinen noista vastuullisista yhtiömiehistä sitten osoittautuu holtittomaksi, niin toinen voi joutua hänen tekemiensä tappioiden maksumieheksi. Mutta kommandiitti-yhtiöissä piilee hyvin vakava vaara, mistä ei juuri koskaan puhuta julkisuudessa. Nimittäin tämä liittyy siihen, että kommandiittiyhtiön äänetön yhtiömies velkoo jompaa kumpaa tai kumpaakin vastuunalaista yhtiömiestä henkilökohtaisen lainan kautta. Eli silloin tietenkin tuo äänetön yhtiömies on saattanut rahoittaa toisen kommandiittiin tulevan vastuunalaisen yhtiömiehen edellisen toiminimen toimintaa, ja sitten hän alkaa velkoa tätä, kun kommandiitti on perustettu.

Tuolloin saattaa olla niin, että hän muuttuu hyväntekijästä hyvin ikäväksi tutuksi, jolloin hän saattaa sitten henkilökohtaisen takauksen kautta muuttua kommandiittiyhtiön todelliseksi määräysvallan käyttäjäksi, ja kun hän on tullut takaamaan näiden onnettomien tekemiä lainoja, niin silloin hän voi pakottaa näitä kahta henkilöä tottelemaan itseään, jolloin tuloksena voi olla lainojen kierre, josta ei sitten pääse millään tavalla eroon. Tai tietenkin henkilökohtaisen ulosoton,  konkurssin sekä luottotietojen menetyksen kautta voi ihminen sitten päästä eroon tuosta asiasta, mutta mitään muuta keinoa ei ole kuin maksaa tuolle velkojalle sen mitä hän haluaa. Ja jos  hän haluaa rahoilleen 20% koron, niin velottavan osapuolen on annettava hänelle 1,20 euroa jokaista saamaansa euroa kohti.
