TOPIC:
Past, Present, & Future: What the Latest Technology Trends Mean to You. This lively, interactive program examined the effects of the latest technology trends and their effects on the audience's lives, work, and companies.

In this presentation, Alex Goldfayn uncovered:

• Why Microsoft will gradually lose market share over the next few years and what it means to the audience.
• Why you should not upgrade your hardware and software 99 percent of the time.
• Why your I.T. professionals (both internal and outsourced) better be as good with people as they are with technology.
• Why technology has been equal parts a bane and a boon despite the media's daily reports to the contrary.
