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

 

About The Speaker

 

Vik Olliver is a Senior Analyst with Catalyst IT Ltd., a researcher on the RepRap Project, NZOSS committee member and an emergency medic with the fire brigade.

He also runs an IT News Clippings service that comes in very handy when creating presentations on the current and future state of IT. He does this from the Waitakere rainforest, but enjoys coming to Wellington regularly.
