Two Critical Points About The Future Six Pixels of Separation - Marketing and Communications Blog - By Mitch Joel at Mirum

Recently I heard two quote about the future that really put things into perspective. This week, Startup Festival was taking place in Montreal. I had the pleasure of interviewing Tobi Lutke (Founder and CEO of the 3 billion company, Shopify), and I was also able to spend a lot of time listening to those who are inventing the future, thinking about the future and investing in those who are building the future. It's been a fascinating three day experience. One of the main stage presentation was Tim O'Reilly (CEO of O'Reilly Media). Tim coined the phrase Web 2.0, is helping to push the maker movement and has spent decades being at the bleeding edge of technology.
