Has Been to Korea and Has Seen Hi-Tech Future
Clyde Bentley at the University of Missouri’s My Missourian visited Korea and OhMyNews and writes about what he saw. He writes in part:
The common wisdom among many Internet hands is that a glance at Korea will give one a good idea of what technology will look like in the United States in three to five years.
I took more than a passing glance today. If what I saw is in store for use soon, prepare for technology that is both bigger and smaller, simpler and more complex, outlandishly wild and fiendishly simple
Be prepared for the big U. Korea is the evangelist of the coming ubiquitous technology.
After listing what he saw, Bentley adds:
None of this is new, of course. I read about ubiquitous technology decades ago in the novels of Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asminov and Robert Heinlein. But back then, I was accused of being a little geek who was wasting his time on science fiction.
Turns out I was just studying in advance.
Editor’s Note: I have been in Ecuador preparing for lectures here on public journalism and doing some sightseeing, so my blogs have been thin and will probably remain that way for a couple more weeks.
Don’t forget about the Restoring the Trust Wake Up Call conference on Aug. 9 in San Antonio; great panelists, great and growing list of attendees can be seen here.
