Visionary : Jeong Kim [President of Bell Labs and Chief Strategy Officer for Alcatel-Lucent]
Perhaps the single, most important plotline in the story of humanity is our role as the creator of technologies and conversely the capacity of technologies to redefine and rewire humanity.
Nowhere has the impact of this reciprocity been more evidenced than in the technologies associated with how we network and process the information around us.
From the early clay tablets to the smartphone and the Internet, the impact on productivity and the quality of our lives has been immense.
But what about the future? Will technology and its associated complexity subsume us or foster happiness and benefits in our lives?
Dr. Jeong Kim will share his vision of how technologies might shape our future so as to offer a better tomorrow for all of us.
