The “Be more productive” forum on Linkedin is promoting some stimulating debate. These are three of the threads currently open. If you want to join the debate, click the link below.


Spectrum, the lifeblood of the mobile Internet


The laws of physics demand that more spectrum is needed to keep the mobile Internet, and everything it enables, growing. The supply of spectrum - the airwaves that make phones and tablets work - is running to keep up with demand.


As Ralph de la Vega, President and CEO, AT&T Mobility said in a recent article from Global Telecoms Business, LTE + cloud + HTML5 = the perfect storm for mobile innovation.


But are countries prepared? And what will the mobile Internet revolution mean for productivity and mobile innovation?


Workers should not be spending 650 hours a year on email


A recent article in the UK’s City AM newspaper referenced a study on productivity, suggesting productivity in Britain has dropped as workers spend too much time on email – what do you think?


What technologies do you think will stand the test of time?


Recently in the UK, the last typewriter was built at a North Wales factory. The manufacturer, which has reportedly made 5.9 million typewriters over the past 27 years, has donated the last machine to London’s Science Museum. Given technological advancements over the last quarter of a century, it’s little wonder that demand for typewriters has declined.


It’s always interesting to look at how technologies which were once so important to daily working life have become effectively obsolete, ‘outsmarted’ by the next phase. With the proliferation of collaborative technology – perhaps a unified communications solution, or social and digital technology – it’s interesting to think about what we’ll actually still be using in 25 years.


What technologies do you think will stand the test of time? Perhaps there’s something which has gradually phased out already that you’d love to see back again?
