Fraser Bell, BSO - Change Is The Only Constant
MarketsWikiEducation.com
"Technology is affecting everyone. Just simple things we take for granted have a massive, massive infrastructure behind them, a massive amount of money behind them, and a massive amount of intellectual capital to make technology seem very simple."
In this MarketsWiki Education video, Fraser Bell, chief revenue officer with BSO, outlines how fast things can change and how easy it is for us not to notice.
Inevitably, some of those in attendance at the event had to Google directions to get there. But how many people look up information on the computer in their pocket while thinking about the thousands of miles of underwater fiber optic cable and data centers needed to show them those directions?
Or consider this: In 1965, some of the top companies in America were GM, Ford, Exxon Mobil, US Steel and GE. They all produced tangible outputs  cars, commodities and appliances. Now, you can add Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook to the list. What new company will be on that list in 2030, and how will we comprehend its product in the context of our day-to-day?

Post-Brexit Britain Faces a Pay Squeeze
By Mark Gilbert - Bloomberg
Don't tell tiny Tim, but even if Brexit hasn't put a damper on Christmas 2016, next year might be a different story. Come January, Britons will pay 5 percent more for their Lego sets, as the Danish company raises prices in response to the pound's decline in the wake of the U.K. decision to leave the European Union. And if the Office for Budget Responsibility is right, incomes won't increase by anything like enough to match the higher prices of consumer goods.

Lunch at Renaissance Technologies  the secretive, $32 billion quantitative hedge fund headquartered in East Setauket, New York  has long been a communal affair. In a sparse dining room overlooking a tree-dotted Long Island lawn, the computer scientists and mathematicians who develop Renaissance's trading algorithms gather to dine on deli takeout and bottled water. The conversations typically tend toward mundane workday chatter: children, vacations, sports.
