If you want to go back in the time machine – here is a similar presentation to David’s by Nicholas Negroponte done in 1984 about what technologies would be coming. Some people thought he was off base then – and a lot of this came true.

With a lot of technology – it isn’t if – it is when…

As Dr. Thornburg said – “It is creativity that is holding us back, not technology”
