I'm blogging the ICE 2007 conference semi-live from the Carlu in Toronto.

Keynote speaker: Robert Sawyer, Futurist.

Moore's Law is impacting media channels... In the next ten years we will have seven times more computing power than we have today.

Small mobile screens are a stepping stone and will be around for about eight more seconds.

Rate of change is ramping up exponentially - asymptotically which is ten years down the road. The future is VR.

Storage capacities will become almost infinite -- think bigger and grander.

This is a "Dancing Bear" moment. Initially cool but after a while you are not interested. Mobile is like that now. Aim high in what you are trying to do.

Star Trek fan clubs are showing the incredibly high quality films. People on desktops doing professional special effects.

Gap of VR and reality is closing. Soon simulations will be indistinguishable from reality. The creative and nimble will lead the marketplace.

There is money to made in aggregation - like YouTube. However, we are competing with amateurs.

Branding becomes enormously important in this kind of distribution. Brand yourself!!!

The future is a drunken slut you can take home every night - you have to be prepared to engage with it.

Think bigger, more open, and wider. Be a visionary. The future will be here before you know it.

In the digital world there is infinite economies. It is no longer based on scarcity.

GeoFencing is a ridiculous notion. We are trying to force the market backwards.

"No media organization can cancel the future." U.K. quotation.

We need an end to silo thinking... then end to things that we once considered separate. Find synergies or combinatorics.

Broadband is the new crustaceous asteroid: today is the age of the blurring between the professional and the consumer.
