Topics for discussions

Care must be `user driven'

- technology should follow the users needs Technology already matured

- almost anything is now possible, however, ...

- what is important? useful? business attractive? cost effective? likely adopted by users?

- implications to global economy? Do we have to start considering the human

aspects or just keep evolving technology?

Thank you!

Look forward for your comments and questions ...
