The Fifth Generation is called in computer science,
jet fighters and I can see the Fifth Generation in our Team Oaxaca. This comes after one of our team members won
the North American Junior Championship last week. We have noticed the changes and the evolution
to the Fifth Generation as a team. Regarding
jet fighters:
Both of the fifth-generation fighters
currently in operation are American. The Air Force’s twin-engine F-22
air-superiority fighter built by Lockheed Martin and Boeing came first,
followed by the single-engine F-35 Lightning II for which
Lockheed Martin is prime contractor. Much of the technology on the F-35 was
refined from the F-22, but because the F-35 will replace most of the Cold War
tactical aircraft of the Air Force, the Navy and the Marines — plus those
of at least a dozen allies — I’m going to focus on what makes F-35 special.
Most observers would probably begin
their description of the multi-role F-35 by saying that it is stealthy, meaning
it incorporates “low-observable” technologies designed to foil enemy detection
and tracking. No doubt about it, stealth is a defining feature of fifth-gen
fighters. But perhaps a more basic feature is that the low observables and
other on-board innovations are integrated – in other words, the airframe
was conceived from day one to optimize stealth and other cutting-edge
technologies by rigorously trading off design features.
When you consider all the novel features found in an F-35 fighter, it
isn’t hard to grasp why the “fifth-generation” designation is warranted. The
planes may look similar to Cold War fighters, but they perform six times better
in air-to-air engagements, five times better in striking surface targets, and
four times better in evading enemy air defenses when compared with the
best-equipped fourth-gen planes. Fifth-generation fighters are every bit as
much a revolution in air warfare as the advent of jet engines was.
Regarding computers:
The phrase “Fifth Generation” refers to stages in the
evolution of computer technology. The first generation of computers was based
on vacuum tube technology; the second, on the transistor; the third on the
integrated circuit, which combined many transistors on a single circuit board;
the fourth, on microprocessor chips with large-scale integration (LSI) and very
large-scale integration (VLSI) of the components. Each “generation” saw an
increase in speed and computing power, together with a reduction in size and
cost.
Computers that in 1960 filled entire rooms and
could only be afforded by government, industry and universities can now be
matched by desk-top and portable models that are affordable to the consumer.
Between the years 1946 and 1960, the number of computers increased from zero to
ten thousand; between 1960 and 1980, the number of computers exploded from ten
thousand to ten million, and
continues to expand at a phenomenal rate.[5]
The “Fifth Generation” will see the development
of artificial intelligence,“computers
that think.” This means not merely another quantitative improvement in
computing technology, with all the economic implications which that has
entailed, but a new qualitative leap
for human civilization and the world economy.
Regarding
leadership:
This next
generation, the fifth generation, of leaders emerging right now must operate on
four key principles. These principles are increasingly making teams successful,
organizations successful, and each of us successful when we lead. The four
principles of fifth generation leaders are clarity, freedom, empathy and
results.
Let’s take a moment.
This fifth generation is what the Aztecs called the fifth sun in the
creation of the world:
They believed their
world had been created and destroyed four times before. During each of the four
previous cycles, different gods first governed the earth through a dominant
element and then destroyed it. These worlds were called suns. During the 16th century—and
the period in which we still live today—the Aztecs believed that they were
living in the "fifth sun", and it would also end in violence at the
end of the calendrical cycle.
Improvement has come
through learning about education generation after generation. Communication has also improved generation
after generation at the same speed of education. Clarity has been asked the whole time; they
know why they do what they do most of the time and where they stand. Triathlon was taken as one sport and not as three entities put together. They know what team work is about and see the
results because of this work; it is improving.
At least one member made the transition from one generation to the other
to pass on the culture achieved from the previous generation. The median speed
practicing triathlon has improved generation after generation. What we have worked on it is in this
blog. It is matter of improving
education and encyclopedia, nothing extraordinary, but a lot of work.
