Where Do We Go From Here?

Presented at THOTCON 0xA (2019), May 3, 2019, 4 p.m. (50 minutes)

The world increasingly needs us and needs us to be our best... we live in this world... our loved ones live in this world... and unless we make changes, we will fail them..... Despite incredible accomplishments, we are failing them. Many of you have heard me say this line: "Our dependence on connected technology is growing faster than our ability to secure it." As the world figures this out... as governments and policy makers react... it's becoming clearer to me that we have a different constraint: The demand for our talent pool is growing faster than our willingness or ability to mature or develop the field. What's worse, many of the things we celebrate and reward are keeping us stuck as the divide continues to grow. We need to confront what's at the heart of our resistance and decide: what are we willing and able to change? What will we encourage? "Where do we go from here?"
