Off to Korea!


Timothy Mack's picture
I am just returning from a two-day turnaround to speak for an hour (and then do a series of print and TV interviews following that speech) to the Korean Communications Commission in Seoul. The subject was the future of smart technology, which South Korea has invested vast amounts of money and effort in, with the result that they lead the world in technology prototyping and market penetration for their own country…. My purpose there was to remind communications ministries around the world that while the gadgets may be stylish and entertaining, the technology could be used to improve the lives, productivity and future of countries without the resources of South Korea and South Koreans.
