(upbeat electronic music) >> Hi, I'm Peter Burress, and welcome to another Wikibon Action Item Quick Take. John Furrier. >> Yes. >> A lot coming up in the next couple weeks around BigData SV. We've talked something about what we expect to see. GDPR, blockchain, what's going on? >> I think the GDPR thing, you've seen a lot of solutions, people covering their butt right now, getting something out of the gate, but the deeper issue is the role of the data around the sovereignty. I think that's a huge deal. I think it's got deeper implications around the role of the database 'cause databases have schemas that have been SPRole over the years. Rolling that up for a quick hit solution is extremely difficult, so I think people are going to fake it 'til they make it to avoid the fines, but the deeper discussion's going to be the technical analysis of how to scale that up throughout the global infrastructure, cloud selection, application development, real critical thing. And then the blockchain impact is also going to be significant. As the role of data becomes more empowered by the user, you're going to see people deploying blockchain-like technology to provide sovereignty, whether that's user sovereignty, power to the users, power to the company, power to the geopolitical landscape with cloud and application development. So we've talked about IoT with David Floyer in the past On Wikibon Action Items about the impact of IoT and blockchain. Huge issue is not just cryptocurrency, which is token economics, which we love, but the blockchain's going to have a fundamental impact to technology. >> Excellent. So this has been John Floyer, Peter Burris with another Wikibon Action Item Quick Take. (upbeat electronic music)
