“Population Dynamics and Trade Favourite Places to Live” on the Ecosystems podcast

Is cloud technology generally and the Microsoft Cloud specifically evolving differently in economies with different populations? The world is much bigger (or smaller?) than the United States and Europe, so what does that mean for technology? How does geographic and population variation—and different dynamics in business culture—impact cloud ecosystems around the world?

Join Mark Smith, Andrew Welch, and Will Dorrington exploring the impact of geography, population, culture, and other societal dynamics on cloud ecosystems and technology adoption. Discussion turns to how different economies and population sizes affect the scale and innovation of businesses, highlighting the challenges faced by smaller countries, such as New Zealand, in terms of market size and monopolies. They also touch on the potential opportunities for smaller markets to focus on quality and innovation. The conversation expands to discuss the implications of population dynamics on trade, internal markets, and the role of AI in education. This episode digs into other topics including the idea of homeschooling and traveling for education, the challenge of work-life balance, and the changing dynamics of parenting and gender roles. The hosts also discuss their favorite places to live and the factors that influence their choices.
