Everyone lamented the complexity of technology, the need for massive funding, and the difficulty of figuring things out. The technology is the internet and it’s self-organizing. This is a dry conference in a nearly dry land. The hardware is the cell phone, and at current adoption rates, everyone is going to have one.
