Who moved the future?
30 July 2009: 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
IBM, Level 11, Majestic Centre
100 Willis Street, Wellington
By now we were all supposed to have flying cars, holidays on the moon and household robots. What we've ended up with is spam, speed cameras and The Pirate Bay.
While society and business evolve relatively slowly, technology - particularly IT - moves faster than many of us feel comfortable with.
Vik Olliver takes stock of the last year's advances in IT, reveals some of the great hidden technologies, polishes his crystal ball, and looks at why we're still struggling in an IT dystopia.
Includes light lunch
