Introduction to MIS is becoming the most important class in Business school because of the way
technology is changing business. Digital revolution has resulted in changes in companies, which
requires students to equip themselves with skills that would guarantee them a job in future. Bell’s
law states that working devices are likely to evolve in every 10 years and such would result in
business professionals to develop skills that would match the changes. After Bell’s Law, there
has been a development of Moore’s, Metcalfe’s, Nielsen’s and Kryder’s law, which have
introduced major changes in the use of digital devices. In this regard, the companies have to
apply Moore’s Law in choosing a device with the preferred processing power, use Metacalfe’s
law to make a choice of network, rely on Nielsen’s law for the speed of a device and apply
Kryder’s law to determine the storage capacity of the chosen device. Therefore, business

decoding it would result in misinterpretation.

differently in 2029? What everyday devices might be able to connect to the Internet in
2029? How might mixed-reality devices change your daily life? How could these devices
change the way you work? Why would the ability to experiment and systems thinking be
important in adapting to technological change? Summarize how answering these questions
contributes to your skill as a nonroutine thinker.
By 2029, Bell’s law which states that working devices are likely to evolve in every 20 years will
be experienced. The devices will vary in terms of processing power, network speed, connectivity
and data storage. For this reason, smartphones will have improved they may have gigabyte
network and exabyte data storage with a battery that lasted for long. Most devices like HoloLens,
Meta and Magic Leap are likely to be the available devices by then. This mixed reality devices
will make the work easier and make more people lazy for the dependency. However, it would be
important to familiariaze with them because jobs in future will require a person with the current
