The Real Future of Technology

Will Google rule the world? Is Microsoft doomed? What’s Apple up to? In this talk, Daniel Lyons expands upon the world of his satirical Apple-centric blog to answer these questions, and to examine the way that profound changes in technology continue to shape our lives, both at work and at home. With hilarious slides and highlights from his blog, and with the same scathing wit that has become his hallmark online, Lyons delivers a fresh approach to covering news from Silicon Valley, bringing the flair of The Colbert Report and The Daily Show to the staid world of business journalism. He also discusses how technology has rewritten the rules of the media business, drawing on his own history, from the world of magazines to the furious world of Internet publishing. It’s a lively tale of disruption and survival, one that clearly illustrates how the media operates; it will also help companies explore new ways to manage communications in an increasingly digitized world.
