How to find the next buzzword: | |
Lets take something that was around for a long time: | |
WCMS => web content management system | |
=> w == web - Today it’s not only web, so leave it away | |
CMS => content management system | |
=> c == content or social media, experience, learning, bla bla bla | |
=> so no c, it’s not right | |
XMS => x management system | |
=> m == manage or distribute, collaborate, transform, bla bla bla | |
=> so no m, it’s not right | |
XYS => x y system | |
=> s == system or tool, plattform, solution, bus, bla bla bla | |
=> so no s, it’s not right | |
XYZ => x y z | |
=> Couldn’t find any use case that is in conflict with that. | |
Now: x y z is a little confusing and hard to take as a explainable abbreviation. | |
So how about making it a little provocative modern and referable. | |
So we could take a working abbreviation like WTF and extend it. | |
Let’s try: | |
„What ever The Fuck you want Thing“ | |
WTFT | |
And of course it’s very important to have kind of a version attached to it, so: | |
WTFT 2.0 | |
But 2.0 is a little old, so let’s make it 10.0 or even better make it a X: | |
WTFT X.0 | |
X as roman 10 is maybe also old. Think about the operating systems reusing it all the time ;-). | |
So let’s try 100 which is „C“ in the roman number system. | |
So now put some explanations and articles about it's importance everywhere. | |
As in the children story *The Emperor's New Clothes* most people wont dare to ask *WTF*? | |
Don't be afraid there will be companies building this kind of system ;-) | |
WTFT C.0 <= The next big think, cause everything we know and understand is boring. | |
"....WTFT C.0 means having a full data flow from and to everywhere through everything...." | |
As we need a political correct wording we could also ues: | |
Wave Transformation Flow of Things. | |
