The Future of Technology
photo

The Internet changed the way we work and live. But that was just the beginning.

By 2011, cable television networks will be obsolete and replaced by Internet services, predicts Wired magazine. By 2015, half of all vehicles sold in the U.S. will be navigated by computer. And by 2017, some predict, all phone calls will be routed through the Internet.

Guests:

Douglas Busch, Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Intel Corporation

Richard Lampman, Senior Vice President of Research at Hewlett Packard.
