George Zachary
A 5000 year view of consumer internet
 
 

 

My talk will be how consumer internet fits into human behavior and needs. Starting from our communication needs as humans. And using our current internet technology to extend those needs. And what mega opportunities will be available over the next 5-10 years that fit into that trend.
