Vision videos are a great way to share a prediction of the future. I've written before about the vision video's that I've been part of including Roku's Reward (2006) and Corning “A Day Made of Glass” (2011). Today, we are releasing a new vision video, The Near Future Network, that tells the story of the “Gigabit Home”.

In this vision video, we share our prediction on the innovations that will take advantage of gigabit and multi-gigabit services in your home.

Given that 50% of US homes have at least one technology from CableLabs, most consumers have no idea we exist or that we are the innovators behind the high speed broadband in their homes. With some recent advancements in broadband speeds enabled by our work on DOCSIS 3.1, in the future consumers will have access to 10 Gigabit speeds.

What will you do with a multi-gigabit network to your home? It's the number one question I get asked.

What will you do with a multi-gigabit network to your home?

So what does the future look like? Check out the Near Future Network vision video ..

To help explain the vision and technologies behind what is in the vision video, we created a “Behind The Technology” video.

If you would like to learn more about our thinking on the Near Future Network, check out TheNearFuture.Network where we have posted more details on the technology and the vision.

The Punctuality Paradox: The Ethics of Time

Time is our most valuable resource, yet it is finite and fleeting. It cannot be saved, paused, or rewound. It is constantly moving forward, regardless of how we use it. Therefore, we must use our time wisely and purposefully to make the most of every moment.

Automaticity: A Thinking Trap?

Just as a car can be driven more smoothly and efficiently when the driver doesn’t have to think about each action, so can our lives run more smoothly when some tasks are done automatically. For example, if you’ve ever ridden in a car with someone learning to drive, you know it’s not a very smooth […

Future Faking Innovation

Future faking is a term that has crept into the lexicon that originated from a harmful dating practice. When applied to innovation, someone is predicting a future to get others excited about it, with no intention of making that future a reality.
