and correlation. Clock synchronization will be the core and
protocols will be explicit in time. Our protocols (like TCP/IP)
were designed to survive a nuclear event and get a message
through, but they really were not designed to synchronize
anything, much less correlate events. I think we’ll see the
emergence of entirely new protocols based on the concept of
synchronized clocks. New messages will be of the flavor “in
four minutes from now, do X,” where time is understood and
the latency of sending the message can be removed—because
you know when it was sent.
computing-enabled experiences, and new business models.
I think HP is uniquely positioned to play across a range
of emerging application domains: with industry leading
hardware and embedded systems technologies and the
ability to manage them at scale, but also with world-class
microfluidics or 3D printing technologies.
From a cybersecurity perspective, speed of innovation
can also represent a real challenge if mature security prac-
tices are not designed and built in from the start. While
every technology company does not yet make security a
priority, HP is uniquely placed to lead, from state-of-the-
art IT security we helped invent and advance over the last
two decades to leading the way with security research
when new solutions are needed. I am excited about a world
where computing enables all of the experiences we envi-
sion, but with a real shift in the balance of power from
(cyber) attack to defense.

The speed of innovation is accelerating like never before.
From AI to AR and VR, from cyber-physical systems
innovation across many domains (such as digital
manufacturing, healthcare, smart cities, or even the
future of home and office) to the evolution of networking
technologies (like 5G), the future promises incredible new
