Found this headline on MSN. What will the technology revolution mean for people? This is the most empowering technology ever. Anything can be found on the Internet from top-of-the-line medical information to movies playing at the local theater; from looking up hobby interests to learning about the great ancient cultures. And it?s all at the click of a key stroke. What problems do you see looming ahead? There are certainly dangers as well. Privacy is an important issue. Unregulated information is being spread around the Internet. We are just at the beginning of this ? the possibilities are endless. How does this revolution compare with past ones? It?s hard to know. Electricity changed the lives of people, but the global reach that today?s technology has given us ? there?s been nothing like it. And the phenomenon of wealth it?s created is remarkable. Tune in to MSNBC.com on Sunday at 8:00 p.m. ET to watch the Silicon Summit live. What will be some of the topics you want to discuss Sunday? Certainly we?ll discuss broadband and its capabilities; large screen/small screen convergence; the Microsoft case ? legal issues; e-commerce and its effects on the economy ? spending, price structure, and tax consequences. What do you hope will be the outcome of the summit? ?Now I get it.? I hope people will stop and think ?I hadn?t thought about that before.? We?ve been running these for the last 10 years and some very important people, very intelligent people, have been dismissing the impact of today?s technology. But it?s empowering and it?s far reaching. Reality is changing at warp speed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Watch ?The Summit in Silicon Valley,?
