Here is the newest version of a great presentation. Click to watch. It includes new and updated statistics, thought-provoking questions and a fresh
design.
We are moving forward quickly. What you thought you knew about the economy, technology, innovation, and the world are probably out-of-date. I can't wait to see what comes next.

A team of scientists recently developed software that, using a carefully tested and proven understanding of facial proportion, greatly improves the attractiveness of your face without damaging your defining features or whether people will recognize that the picture is of you.
Ever seen a picture of yourself that was a little too good? You’re still you, just a tiny bit better than the real-life you. That’s what this software supposedly does.
The inventor says this technology could become a product or web service where people upload their photographs and have them enhanced or beautified by the software.
So, if there was an “optimize portrait” button on Facebook, would a lot of people use it? Probably.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 gets it right. Finally speech recognition that is surprisingly accurate, even with little or no training. Here is a 20-second video of me talking – and it typing.
I wrote about using dictation before. This is different, because it gets smarter as you use it. There are easy ways to edit results, and the program learns from each correction.
For me, I know it works because I find myself using it to create drafts of many things. And if it wasn't easier and more convenient than typing … I wouldn't use it. Instead, I often wait to create the draft at the computer with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The writing ends-up sounding more natural if the first draft was spoken.
This program has matured nicely. Earlier versions were temperamental and took a long time to train. This one worked out-of-the-box. I use it with a simple usb microphone (not even the noise-canceling headset they include). It also works with my handheld Olympus voice recorder.
