The quote The future is here now but not widely distributed comes originally from William Gibson, who said The future has already arrived. It's just not evenly distributed yet. I use it all the time in my talks to make the point that tomorrow's mainstream technologies have already been invented. Great thing about LIFT is getting to hear about them early enough to assess their potential impact.

The quote

The future is here now but not widely distributed

comes originally from William Gibson, who said

The future has already arrived. It’s just not evenly distributed yet.

I use it all the time in my talks to make the point that tomorrow’s mainstream technologies have already been invented. Great thing about LIFT is getting to hear about them early enough to assess their potential impact.

It's good for us to see what people get out from the event. Great, thanks for your comments on the conference! It’s good for us to see what people get out from the event.
