Many transformations are needed in order to host The Olympic Games. Streets are transformed, sporting venues are built even WIFI has been taken care of in the underground railways.
There is the Cisco House Project that is keen on getting the idea of the Games being associated with transformation. They built a kind of technical show-home for businesses with the intention to communicate the importance of technology to the public. Cisco's Dom Joyce tells us in an interview that he compares the project with a kind of ecosystem. All these transformations that are made possible by Cisco, the official network infrastructure supporter of the Games, are ways to show the public what we are capable of with the help of new technology and computers.

Reaction:
I believe we can no longer deny what computers can do for our environment. What the Cisco House Project is trying to do is showing the public of the Olympic Games that we can profit of the invention of all new technology and we can learn from it that we can arrange things in a totally different manner than we were used to. For example all visitors of the Games that will travel at the same time can disturb the traffic of people who are off to go to work enormously. Traffic jams will be the order of the day. But when businesses are wise they let their employees do their work during these events at home behind the computer. So no losses on profits, no extra costs for delayed employees and all work can be done smoothly. This is just one of the profitable examples of modern technology and I believe we should look at it that way.
