The Next Big Thing

Entertainment To-Go

Today we can pause live TV, download music from the Internet and play games on our cell phones. Universal connectivity allows us to rent movies by downloading them from the Internet, stream downloaded music to our stereos - wirelessly; and immerse ourselves in Massively Multiplayer Online games while on the road. All of this has occurred within the last 2-3 years and we are on the brink of a new wave of innovation that will change what we do for fun. This panel will discuss some of these trends, how technology is changing entertainment and media itself and what new possibilities lie ahead.
