Chairman's Conference Recap
(I didn't have time to make a separate file on Taylor's transition and Meyer's BLUR. Meyer showed S curves and a video of Nortel Networks ad on Frank as an example of the 20th century buzz with the idea that we are still on the path. Connections between dot com dreams and yesterday's predictions of pervasive, autonomous computing. The mathematic s of evolution will work for our economy as it moves forward.)
