D.J. Sherman: Mobile Logic's CASE SOLVED - The Practical Entrepreneur

It is as rare a combination as you could imagine: Practical, Low-Tech Solutions to solve High-Tech Problems.

Perhaps the essence of genius is in some special combination of vision (seeing or "feeling" trends as they emerge), problem-solving skills and Occam's Razor.

DJ Sherman, the creator of NewVision Mobile, Inc.'s "CASE-SOLVED" is filling a market niche that needs to be scratched. Ironically, the company's slogan, "case solved," is completely appropriate, and on multiple levels.

In a world filled with applications, gadgets, devices and breakthrough technology, the newest problems being created for entrepreneurs, professionals and executives on-the-go require practical, flexible, low-tech (but high-utility) solutions. There is simply no substitute for human ingenuity. D.J. Sherman, president of NewVision Mobile, Inc., is a problem-solving kind of guy, and he envisioned this day coming [and no, he is not a geek behind a gizmo - he is a realistic, grown-up businessman].

These new problems fall into two categories:

1) How do I manage (organize and coordinate) all of these information and communications tools? and,

2) How do I transport my office (an assembly of mobile phones, pads, tablets, notebooks, laptops, Kindles, Nooks, Technullities, and other peripheral devices, such as cards, drives, cords and chargers) with me wherever I need to go?

In a society of telecommuters and obsessive communicators, we are socially obligated to engage in research operations, as well as in email, texting, social media status updating, and telephoning continuously. We are on call all of the time and expected to be in touch with everyone all of the time.

Whether you multitask, rotationally task, or just plow through a seemingly endless list of "to do" list items, you need to bring your office with you -- our increasing dependencies on these tools make this an ever-growing challenge. Most of us don't have the luxury of being out of touch for long periods or of being relaxed at a desk for an entire day. We have to be portable. We have to have our own "Go" bags ready at a moment's notice.

NewVision Mobile, Inc., an innovative early-stage company, has designed the ideal "James Bond" office-in-a-box solution. Mobile Logic's sleek, versatile, case-solved travel case is the ultimate attache to consolidate and carry all of your gear -- and to charge it all up while you're waiting between meetings. The magic is that the case consolidates, organizes and integrates your gear into itself, like a second skin.

DJ is currently in preliminary discussions with several venture capitalists who like the elegance of simple, practical, ergonomic solutions to problems. Think about it: LOW-TECH, HIGH UTILITY.

If you visit http://www.case-solved.com/, you will feast your eyes on a nifty, tangible necessity. Sooner or later, you'll own at least one.

As a the Chairman of TNNWC Group, LLC and the author of The Global Futurist blog, that's the way I'd bet. And I don't generally gamble, either.

We'll keep you posted.

An Update From The DaVinci Institute's FUTURE TREND REPORT - 06.03.2010

An Update From The DaVinci Institute's FUTURE TREND REPORT - 06.03.2010

Dear Fellow Futurists and Friends:

I often use the Future Trend Report as one of my many source materials in arriving at my own conclusions regarding trends and their future implications. The following material is excerpted, and is presented without my editorial commentary or endorsement, but I will say that, in large part, the questions which the Report raises, as well as some of the nearer-term outcomes which they predict are highly positively correlated with my views as set forth in my blog, The Global Futurist :

Americans Run Into Trouble Using Credit Cards Abroad
Americans are increasingly facing difficulty using their credit cards abroad.Chief culprit? Different technology standards. U.S.-issued cards still have magnetic strips. More cards abroad are issued with encrypted microprocessor chips, and shops and businesses have adjusted the payment process to the varying standard, says Jack Jania of Gemalto, which develops chip cards.

Outlook on Jobs for Teens Worsens
This year is shaping up to be even worse than last for the millions of high school and college students looking for summer jobs. State and local governments, traditionally among the biggest seasonal employers, are knee-deep in budget woes, and the stimulus money that helped cushion some government job programs last summer is running out. Private employers are also reluctant to hire until the economy shows more solid signs of recovery. Continue reading

Growing Acceptance Among Teens To Out of Wedlock Pregnancy
Among teens in the USA, the percentage who have had sexual intercourse or say they'd be pleased if they or their partner were to get pregnant hasn't changed much since early in the decade, and there appears to be a growing acceptance of having babies outside marriage, a government report said Wednesday.From 1995 to 2002, "it was pretty much across-the-board improvements in those risk factors," says lead author Joyce Abma, a statistician at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. "It is a source of concern to see that forward movement kind of stalling." Continue reading

Breast Cancer Vaccine Trials to Start on Women Within One Year
American scientists say they have developed a vaccine which has prevented breast cancer from developing in mice. The researchers - whose findings are published in the journal, Nature Medicine - are now planning to conduct trials of the drug in humans. Continue reading

'Free Rent' Approach on the Rise as Some Homeowners Stop Paying Mortgages
For Alex Pemberton and Susan Reboyras, foreclosure is becoming a way of life - something they did not want but are in no hurry to get out of. Foreclosure has allowed them to stabilize the family business. Go to Outback occasionally for a steak. Take their gas- guzzling airboat out for the weekend. Visit the Hard Rock Casino.

Study: Women Who Take Antidepressants During Pregnancy at an Increased Risk of Miscarriage
Pregnancy is often fraught with complications, not least for women suffering from depression while carrying a child: new research suggests that women who take antidepressant medications during pregnancy may have an increased risk of miscarriage. Continue reading

40% of Consumers Would Swap Their Laptops for an iPad
Kelkoo, the shopping comparison website, asked 950 people whether they were considering buying an Apple iPad. Almost a third said they would be interested in buying one, while 40 per cent said they would be prepared to swap their traditional laptop for a touch-screen, tablet computer like the iPad. Continue reading

46% of Americans Suffer From Debt-Related Stress According to Survey
The economy trudges ahead yet debt dogs many Americans, stressing them out even as they firm up their own financial foundations. There are new jobs produced but old worries persisting for people despite belt-tightening and boosted savings, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll. Continue reading

eBook Sales Will Overtake Print Books Within Five Years
Steve Haber, president of Sony's digital reading business division, said: "Within five years there will be more digital content sold than physical content. Three years ago, I said within ten years but I realised that was wrong - it's within five." Continue reading

Student Loan Debt Crisis: Who's to Blame as Students Get Buried in Debt?
Like many middle-class families, Cortney Munna and her mother began the college selection process with a grim determination. They would do whatever they could to get Cortney into the best possible college, and they maintained a blind faith that the investment would be worth it. Continue reading

Advocate and Navigate: Two Key Thematic Trends Which Will Shape Future Careers.

Advocate and Navigate - Two Key Thematic Trends which will Shape Future Careers.

Note: This article was written by Douglas Castle for publication in The Global Futurist. This article may be re-published, reproduced or otherwise transmitted without the author's or publisher's consent provided that the article is published in its unabridged entirety, with full attribution to both the author and the source, and  with all hyperlinks left intact and live. If words are spelled improperly, please leave them that way - it is always deliberate (only kidding). 

Dear Friends:

In the very near future,  new types of entire businesses and their subsumed career paths will be concentrated in the fields (either singly or combined) of advocacy and navigation.

The first has to do with proactively representing and protecting the rights of potentially vulnerable individuals; the second has to do with finding, communicating with, coordinating and monitoring all of the parties and all of their efforts as may be required to achieve any complex and important goal.

These two categorical career "designations" address two major issues, both of which are increasing in magnitude daily (although in a world of largely decreasing expectations, people are very resigned to both of these growing problems, despite their kicking and cursing about "the System"):

• We are living in an increasingly decentralized world, where there are more moving parts to virtually every social process, and more participants than ever before. With outsourcing, subcontracting and migration of businesses to cyberspace, many of the persons involved in any given process do not know eachother or communicate with eachother -- they are often functioning as a headless juggernaut, where no one person takes ultimate responsibility or internally manages a process from start to finish;

• We are living in an increasingly de-personalized society, where people do not interact as emotionally, or with the same level of commitment to eachother as in earlier times. This is a function of self-defensiveness and insularity (more computer contact, less physical contact and body language exchanges). We feel, lamentably, that "every one of us much watch out for himself or herself, because others are doing the same." 

Ultimately, these two new categories, used in the new senses of their respective meanings, serve as a means of re-centralizing and re-personalizing processes. 

Experts are needed to advocate and navigate for us...we are an entire species trying desperately to cope with the difficulties imposed upon us by a combination of societal factors, including, but not limited to:

1. Increasingly complex technology versus an increasing percentage of older persons in the general population;

2. Increasing de-centralization compartmentalization and specialization of virtually every aspect of every service business, in both the private and public sectors -- no one individual guides a customer, consumer or client through any process from start to finish anymore;

3. Increasing subcontracting, outsourcing and offshoring, with multicultural miscommunications, reminiscent of the Tower of Babel;

4. Deterioration in customer information access, service and responsiveness due to automation and "pidgeonhole" menu choices...have you ever had a particular problem which you needed to speak with with a utilities company about, only to telephone the toll-free number and be given a choice of four options, none of which actually addressed your situation? After that, did you wait on the phone for what seemed like an eternity (not daring to hang up and lose your precious place in line) while listening to distorted and terribly over-orchestrated music with brief interruptions by some syntho-voice saying, "Please stay on the line. All of our representatives are busy serving other customers. You call will be answered in the order in which it was received. Your estimated waiting time is 20 minutes..."? Sometimes these calls add further injury to insult by adding a "canned" message saying something to the effect of, "Due to an unusually high volume of telephone calls, it might take a long time to have a representative speak with you. If you'd prefer, you can reach us at our website, at ---------------, or, if your call is not an emergency, call us at some other time?"

The patience required to deal with this type of manifest impertinence and impersonal treatment is something which I am having a difficult time cultivating.

I remember being able to call up the "operator" (a Humanoid) on the telephone to request a telephone number for a particular party. Now, I have to go online to find telephone numbers.

Simple requests for information have now become research projects, requiring a great deal of skill and determination.

4. A very low signal-to-noise ratio in the media barrage, combined with declining attention spans and impatience born of sensorial overload and obsessive multi-tasking (i.e., doing many things simultaneously without getting any single one of them completed to any reasonable standard of quality);

5. An increasingly fractionalized social structure with limited communication between components -- this means that each of us, individually has expend the effort to coordinate multiple parties as may be required in the circumstances;

6. An ever-increasing pile of convoluted and often highly confusing protocols, rules and regulations governing virtually anything which we ordinarily do in our lives. You simply cannot accomplish anything institutionally without working through a mountain of forms and other paperwork;

7. People have, to a great extent, lost touch with the notion of investing in long-term relationship-building. Our lives have largely become a staccato series of fleeting and impersonal interactions with others, with time at an ever-increasing premium. We have many "contacts" and very few functioning, responsive and compassionate relationships. We are, ironically, more isolated than ever before.

In sum, when someone about whom you care is: chronically ill; aging; dying; experiencing profound emotional problems; contending with substance abuse; in financial trouble; in legal trouble...etcetera...etcetera...you will need to find some ultimate decider and coordinator of the entire process.

You will need an ADVOCATE and a NAVIGATOR.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle
