What did we do before APIs, jQuery, XML, application frameworks, and open source blogging tools? Well. The truth is we did quite a lot. But, even as our wrenches and pipes have matured and even transformed, it’s more worthwhile than ever to ask ourselves what we’re producing with all of that massive horsepower.
In his Friday afternoon keynote on “Bold Ideas and Insane Possibilities,” Merlin Mann will explore the question of how our creative output has kept up with our technological innovation and whether we’re driving a legitimate revolution in how the world sees, thinks and collaborates, or simply devising a more sophisticated method for telling millions of people about what we had for breakfast.
It’s time for bold ideas and the realization of insane possibilities. That’s what the future of the Web is all about.
