The future as we know it

February 2014

Deven K. Spear, CEO


The future ain't what it used to be. Yogi Berra (1925 - )

Men have become the tools of their tools. Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Arthur C. Clarke (1917 - 2008)


A New Age“By 2025, the majority of the world’s population will, in one generation, have gone from having virtually no access to unfiltered information to accessing all of the world’s information through a device that fits in the palm of the hand.”
