Singapore Smart City Initiative

Peter du ToitI'm the founder of FutureWork IQ where I spend my time assisting businesses to design digital workplaces or “offices in the cloud.” These environments enable companies to allow flexible and remote working for their teams. I also teach the digital literacy, fluency, communication and collaboration skills needed to work in these modern technology-rich workplaces.

This is another example of what a digital government will look like. (Estonia has pioneered the way as I discussed in yesterday’s broadcast)

Big data = X-ray vision. The Fourth Industrial Revolution in full swing.

From the WJS article entitled Singapore Is Taking the ‘Smart City’ to a Whole New Level

“Officials say the program is designed to improve government services through technology, better connect its citizens, and encourage private-sector innovations. For instance, sensors deployed by private companies in some elderly people’s publicly managed homes will alert family if they stop moving, and even record when they use the toilet in an attempt to monitor general health.”
