THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF TECHNOLOGY: WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OTHER INDUSTRIES AND WHAT'S NEXT
The exponential growth of technology is transforming industries, changing the way buildings are designed and constructed, how cars are digitally prototyped and fabricated, and how movies are previsualized and produced. For these and other industries, the democratization of technology has created seismic shifts in the way people create as well as in the companies they work in. Join Tom Wujec in a lively and visually rich presentation that charts the surprising impact of cheaper, faster and more powerful digital tools across industries.
