The event lays a road map for technologies coming to our businesses and homes in the future. This is exciting and scary. Exciting to see advances in telemedicine, smart buildings and ultra portable communications for emergencies delivered by Cisco’s global emergency response team. Scary because the digital world has many users intent on stealing our identities and our money. Many of the solutions were in the area of IT security.
