 "I'm at the FiRe conference in San Diego—stands for Future in Review. It's been called “the best technology conference in the world” by The Economist. An enthusiasm for the future is something in short supply during this Great Recession, and this year's conference theme: "Technology—Driving the Economic Rebound" sets an admirably resilient, even bullish tone. I'll be filing a column for the Beast based on what I see here—including some promising new tips on emerging technologies and a test drive of a Tesla Roadster. Looking at the future in review has always seemed like exactly the right problem-solving perspective to me. |
