James Kemper
2010's Top 10 Technologies 
 
While James gave an exceptional presentation, those that could keep up with the language and terminology, were exhausted by the end.  I have to say that my notes don't make a lot of sense, but that is because James is very, very knowledgeable in his field.  The products out on the market are impossible to keep up with, not to mention the companies that are trying to stay competitive in the industry, are trying to stay one step ahead of the other companies, by trying to keep up with all the new inventions.  Here are a few of the new technologies that James presented:  Google's Search with Voice, Shopper (on the Android), maps and navigation systems with real time pictures, Apple's "SLATE", Microsoft's Corporate Training through games, 3D TV's, IPTV's or Internet TV's, Intel Processor's Platform Processors, and Microsoft's Windows 2010.  Now, while not everyone followed James' presentation, he was fast to call you out if you  weren't listening, and were talking instead.  Make sue to pay attention...this man could one day be the next Bill Gates.
