Obsolete: Overview of a typical IT - Future - Presentation
The talk can range from 45 minutes to half a day.
Objective is to cover major trends in IT with some fundamental visions
as seen as physicist, Information Technologist and as engineer as philosopher.
Discussions are very natural for these topics and very welcome.
