A Quick Glance at Australia's Tech Innovation State
January 17, 2017 12:09 pm
Australia has long been known as a country that’s eager to utilise the forefront of technology to implement innovation.
In an interview with Blue Notes, HP Personal Systems South Pacific Director Paul Gracey spoke about Australia’s affinity with technology.
“Australia has always been an early adopter country, whether that is DVDs, mobile phones. We’ve always been at that cutting edge. And we still have a thirst for doing that.”
If we look at technologies used today, many originated in Australia.
It’s hard to imagine living without a Wi-Fi connection — did you know Wi-Fi is an Australian invention? Invented by CSIRO genius, astronomer, electrical engineer and overall innovator John O’ Sullivan, who was once laughed at for this very idea.
Aussie inventor Bruce Thompson came up with dual-flushing as a way to conserve water. The toilet features two buttons with two modes of flush for different waste.
With proof Australia is a great bastion of technology, Gracey wants to continue identifying tech trends such as seamless device transition. He aims to consolidate devices, so a person will have access to all the important information and documents they may need through one.
Making access to information easier will help life become convenient and also reduce errors and improve productivity.
