The Future

Last night, I went to a meeting at the University of Hertfordshire to celebrate 40 years of their computer science course.

The four main speakers were :-

1. Dr. Vint Cerf of Google
2. Gareth Mitchell of the BBC
3. Peter Cochrane of ConceptLabs and late of BT
4. Mike Newton, late of Dell and Apple

A lot of fascinating things were said, but think about this one.

In ten years time, you will be able to buy an iPod, that can hold every recording of every piece of music written. In twenty years time, it will hold every film ever made.

Who’d be a record company? Sell Sony, EMI etc. now!
